Destroying tho Plum curcuiio.-A great
deal Of useless advice has been given out
ing easy methods Of destroying the plum and peach
eurculio. In most parts Of the country u 10 i'm
possible 20 raise piums unless exercises daily
warfare against the insects. Persons who have
two or three plum trees about the yard should
succeed in raising fruit enough for their own use
but this they are seldom able 20 accomplish. The
lees trees one has the greater will be the proper
tionate number Of insects 10 attack them. Such
methods a. burning coal tar under the trees or
hanging cobs saturated with molasses among the
limbs are usually Of no avail In saving . crop Of
plums or peaches. The only sure method 10 per-
sistsnt catching. Theeureulio spend their nights
near the base Of the trees, under chips and barks
Early In the morning they ascend the trees TO lay
their eggs in the young fruit. There are two
modes Of catching them. The one devised by Mr..
n--'s-. % Rs.,". ".,hs'. Michigan. 10 to nicely
smooth the earth about the base Of the trees, and
10 lay . few small blocks Of wood or chips on the
surface. The beetles crawl under these for shell.
Tar, and can be taken very early In the morning
bfore they ascend the trees. The chips should
beexamined as soon As one can sec In the morn
Ing. This IL the method most praetieed In the ex-
tersive peach belt Of Michigan. The other method
u u spread large sheet under the tree, and 20
jar he beetles OF on TO u BY means Of one or two
quies blows with long handled mallet or bump
or. Zach Of the large branches should be struck,
and fac mallet should be wound with cloth 10 pre-
vent Injury TO the trees. This practice should be
FOLLOWED early In the morning also, as when they
get warn the beetles are too lively 20 be caught.
Many sf the best peach and plum growers practice
both tlnss methods. In the case Of few trees
about yard both should be used and there will be
but littb doubt ~ TO good reward In fruit. The
practice should be followed up every morning for
. coupi, Of weeks after the blossoms fall, aud ut
wider Intervals until the insects disappear. A
sheet mty be stretched over . large wooden frame
for convenience In handling.
