The jarring method of beetle de-
struction is based on the fact that the
beetles play possum" when there is
any disturbance near them. Earring is
commenced just as the blossoms are
falling, and is repeated every day for
four or five weeks, or until no more
beetles are secured. The method is
to place a sheet or some other con-
tainer under a plum tree, and then to
strike the tree quick, hard blow with
a padded stick or mallet. The beetles
fall to the sheet and may then be col
lected and destroyed. In large plum
orchards time is saved by rigging up
sheet arrangement on a sort of
wheelbarrow, or by stretching sheets
on wooden frames. In large orchard
in Georgia where peach and plum trees

ally having a capacity OF about two
liters. One stalk normally flows about
three months, but it is not uncommon
for it to be cut entirely away by the
thin slices from day to day long be-
fore the flow has ceased. In some dis
tricts the plant is cut before the fruit
forms and the flow of sap is increased
thereby so far as daily output is con-

shortened, the total yield of the plant
apparently being about the same by
either method. The plants are al

long they continue to bear is uncer-
tain, but all authorities agree that a
plant will continue to produce say for
many years, probably fifty years Or

The variety of hats produced from

hat fibers are produced from the palm

poses; burr strak, kalasiao straw, and
buntal straw. Generally only one va

any one place, the rest being thrown
away. Burr straw is produced from
the unopened buri leaf and the hats
manufactured therefrom vary in price
from 2 or cents gold for children s

grades The usual variety retails for
about 20 cents gold i'm the Philippines,
