j. j. Palmer said he noticed a number
Of trees full Of plumbs on the grounds of
Mr.. Berlien, and wanted to know how
he saved them.
i, Mr.. Berlien said he spread muslin
sheet under the trees daily after bios
sOming time and Jared the trees with
mallet, thereby making the curculio
drop on the sheet, after which they were
easily destroyed. In order that the tree
may not be injured by the use of the
mallet he had inserted an iron pin into
the tree or sawed off limb upon which
to strike to produce the jar. This must
be kept up until the plum is nearly full
size.
Mr.. BOrst says the plum is the best
fruit; never have any trouble to sell
what you have got; has received six dol
lars per bushel. Earring the trees fire.
quently is one Of the most effective ways
of saving the plum from the curculio.
Having pigs and chickens with the trees
is good.
Mr.. Bitter says a neighbor of his has
plums every year and he does nothing to
protect them.
P. ]. Palmer says as long as he had
the DamsOn variety he had plums every
year.
ID. M. Slusser thinks the Damson is
such a great bearer that there are not
enough curculiO to destroy them.
III. II. Myers thinks the curculiO will
can fly, and cited instances. so
that If one person will catch them and
his neighbOrs do not, we will get rid OF, u
them.

s1.12 derived from donations to the So |
ciety.
Mr.. Borst thinks we should be vigilant
In watching tree peddlers.
H. II. Myers has been through the |
mill and gave instances where tree /
peddlers would go to some nursery and |
buy the unnamed stock and label them /
with such names of the different Varie-
ties as were in demand. Mr. Myers saws i
he has some trees. now, but as an old |
nursery man he says that Mr.. Berlien's /
trees are great deal better than his,
and would give double price for such |
trees as Mr.. Berlien's If he wished to |
start an orchard. ~ /
