Nearly every one knows that peach es and plums, in common with certain otiier fruits, are apt to be “wormy,” and though fair externally, worthless within; but not nearly so many know how these worms gained entrance in to the fruit or realize to what a serious extent the growers and marketers of fruit are Injured by them. These worms are the young of a small, gray ish beetle called the plum curcullo, be longing to the great group of weevils or snout beetles, in which the head is prolonged into a snout. This par ticular species is about one-eighth oi an inch long and has all parts of its body protected by a very hard, rough ened shell. It has in some sections oi Georgia become as much of a necessity to protect the fruit crop from the cur oulio as from the San Jose scale or brown rot, and the problem which thus confronts the fruit growers is as per plexing as any other. Small home or chards of from one to one hundred trees often suffer a much greater pro portionate loss than those of commer cial size, and oftentimes it is, op a sin gle tree, inqiossible to lind a peach that lias not been injured or rendered en tirely worthless by this pest. The beetles pass the winter In shel tered situations‘amongst the grass and weeds around the orchard and In the fallen leaves, etc., in some neighbor ing woodland. They appear on the trees with the first blossoms, and dur ing the first, few weeks, before the young peaches have formed, the bee tles obtain their food by nibbling the opening buds, l.ater they transfer their atetntion to the tender fruit, and as soon as this has fairly begun its growth the process of egg laying be gins. The female deposits her small whttG egg in an incision through the skin made by her snout, in front of which she also cuts a crescent shaped slit The minute white grub hatfling from this egg works its way to the center of the fruit and there feeds-and grows, the scar sometimes growing over sc as to be almost unrecognizable, at oth er times remaining open, and conspiou ously marked by the growing extenn ation which forms there. When the fruit is stung during the younger stages of growth it is very apt to drop from the trees before half grown, bul the worms continue to feed within il until full fed, when they work their way out, burrow into the ground, re main in the resting stage for a week or two aud then emerge as adult bee ties exactly like their parents, and ready perhaps to lay eggs for a sec ond generation in the later varieties of peaches. That there are at least two genera ttons of the insects annually seems s practically assured fact, as the adult beetles have been reared from the in tested fruit as early as May, and the worms found in late peaches ns late as September. The earliest "stung’ peaches, ns has already been stated nearly always drop: those attacked s little later after the stone has begun to show signs of hardening, cling tc the tree and are the first to ripen while those stung later still ripen with S# * Cut " © down u cost.

The bulk of dam age, however, is done by those which sting the fruit from the time it is no I larger than an acorn until two or three weeks before ripening, and it is during this period that remedial measures umst toe applied. Spraying the trees with some poison ous mixture has been recommended, but is not generally recognized as of any very great value. To be effective the insect must actually eat a portion of the poison, and as it is not a very voracious leader, the chances are good for it to do considerable damage be fore taking a poisonous dose. There is another method, however, which has long been in use, and though tedious and expensive, appears to be quite effective. This consists in jarring the trees gently with a padded mallet or bumper and catching the insects as they drop in sheets spread helow the trees for this purpose. Sev eral growt rs have carried on this op eration with seemingly very profitable results during the pact few years, and as this appears the most promising method of treating this pest some ac count of operations as carried on may be of value. Apparatus Necessary. Many forms of frame upon which the sheet for catching the ourculio as they fall have been devised, but those now in use among some of the large growers at Fort Valley, and apparently first introduced there by Major G. T. Jones, appear to be the best tor the purpose, especially in a commercial or chard. Two frames are constructed 6 by 12 feet, with a notch midway in the side of one to receive the body of the tree. These are then covered with chees cloth, cheap sheeting or anything of that sort. The bumpers are made of a piece of thick pi-ank, about 6 inches wide by 8 inches long. One end of this is thoroughly padded with rubber or sacking, and in the center of the other end a hole is bored into which the end of a light and strong pole, about 8 or 10 feet long is fitted. Each jarring gang consists of five hands. Four of them which car ry the shoot may be women or . chil dren, the fifth, who handles the bump er, must be a man and able to act with some judgment. The frames are then lifted by the carriers and brought to gether around the trunk of a tree. The man gives it one quick and decisive, but not too hard, jar with the padded end of his pole, and the carrying gang immediately walk to the next tree, where the operation is repeated. One jar of the tree is sufficient,, and it should be as just stated, not necessari ly so very hard, not by any means hard enough to bruise the bark of the tree, but quick and without any pre liminary shaking. Under these cir cumstances the curculio will be taken unawares and is practically certain to curl up its legs, drop ana '“play ’pos sum,” feigning death, and lying mo tionless on the sheet until the- end of the row is reached, when the insects winch have been collected can be swept off into a tub of water to which a little kerosene has been added or otherwise destroyed. It may be found a help to carry a small stone or weight in the center of the frame in order that this portion may be kept depressed and to* prevent a sudden gust of wind or other agency from lifting it and scattering the contents. Time of Jarring. Considerable depends on the time ol day in which these jarring operations are carried on, as during the warmer hours the curculio are much more ex cited and harder to catch than either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. It is always advisable to begin as soon as it becomes light enough to see and work until 8. Then In the afternoon from 5 o’clock until dark, though not so good a time as in the morning, is better than during the middle of the day. To obtain the best results the jarring operation should begin soon after the bloom is shed and repeated every day or two as long as any number of the beetles are caught. Results pf Work. The results of this jarring process, when carried out systematically throughout the season have in every case which has come to our attention been satisfactory' to the fruit grower. Mr. J. H. Hale, who spent very consid erable sums last year in this work, jarring some blocks or sections ol blocks in his orchard nearly every day from before the middle of April until nearly June, has stated most em phatically that he felt much more than repaid for the expenditure of labor and money, and an examination of his fruit in the packing shed and on the trees as compared with that in nearby orchards not jarred showed a very de cided difference in his favor. This year somewhat extensive ex periments have been planned whereby the spraying and jarring treatment will he carried on side by side, and at the close of the season further re sults may be expected.
