JARRING FOR TH^ CURCyL
THE PEACH AND PLUM,
Nearly every one knows that peach
es and plums, in common with certain
other 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 curculio, be
longing to the great group of weevils
or snout beetles, in which the h^ad
is prolonged into s, snout- This par-

Apparatus Necessary.
Many forms of frame upon 4 which
the sheet for catching the curculio 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 t
Jones, appear to be the best for 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 plank,
about 6 inches wide by 8 inches long.
One end of this is thoroughly padded
with rubber or sacking, and in this
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
som& judgment. The frames are then
lifted by the carriers and brought to
gether aroupd 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
wnich have been collected can be
swept off into a tub of water to which
a little kerosene has been added of
otherwise destroyed. It may be found

ticuTar species If
an inch long and has all parts of its
body protected by a very hard, rough
ened shelL It has in some sections of
Georgia become as much of a necessity
to protect the fruit crop from the cur
culio 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, on a sin
gle tree, impossible to find a peach that
has 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 wopfilasd. They appear on the
trees with tile 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. Later they transfer
vtheir 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 white
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 hatching from
this egg works its way to the center
of the fruit and there feeds and grows,
the scar sometimes growing over so
as to be almost unrecognizable, at oth
er times remaining open, and conspicu
ously marked by the growing extenu
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, but
the worms continue to feed within it
until full fed, when they work their
way out, burrow into the ground, re
main in the resting^ stage for a week
or two and then emerge as adult bee
tles exactly like their parents, and
ready perhaps to lay eggs for a sec
ond generation in the later varieties

That there are at least two genera
tions of the insects annually seems a
practically assured fact, as the adult
beetles have been reared from the In
fested fruit as early as May, and, the
worms found in late peaches as late as
September. The earliest “stung”
peaches, as has already been stated,
nearly always drop; those attacked a
little later after the stone has begun
to show signs of hardening, cling to
the tree and are the first to ripen,

the bulk of the crop and often show no
signs of the injury received until they
are cut open and the true state of af
fairs discovered. The bulk of dam
age, however, is done by those which
sting the fruit from the time it is no
larger than an acorn until two or three
weeks before ripening, and it is during
this period that remedial measures
must be 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 vhry
voracious feeder, 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
below the trees for this purpose. Sev
eral growers have carried on this op
eration with seemingly very profitable
results during the past 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. \
