KM.nn. ft ALEX TiTSTON THI- PLUn CURCUMO. Habits of the l ittle llectle and Mow to Destroy It. Following Is tllll IllU'Kt bulletin Isslled by 11. .!. l'Vrimlil, Kconomle .iHiluglst, Department of Agriculture of l'ennsyl viiniii, concerning the plum curciilio: TIIK Pl.t'M (VHt'lM.IO. This Insert is a serious pent to persons raising plums, us It often destroys half the crop. It must 1st treated In a dif ferent way from thu Apple worm, us lis habits are different. It Is responsible for the loss of many thousands of dollars each year to tho fruit growers of the State. Ur'K. IIIHTOKY. The Cureullo Is a little beetle, less than half an Inch long. It passes the winter In any protected pliii'n It can And and comes out In tho spring ahotit tho time the leaves first npx nr. At this time It is a little hootln rather loss than a quarter of an Inch lout;, and with a snout on its head. It fords on tho leaves of tho plum ami also on the ap ple, pear, peach and cherry. When tho plums are set, the Insert cuts a little curved slit in the plum, and closo to It, In a little hole, lays an ogg. This egg soon hutches Into a little grub, which eals In to, and nrorind (ho stone, When tho grub Is full crown (after about throe weeks) It leaves tho plum, which has usually fallen off by this time, (joes Into tho ground, where It remains quiet for a time, then comes out as the full grown Insect again, to go into hiding until the following sprint;. Thus, there Is only ono brood a year. WHAT BY) !M) KOK IT. It Is not posslblo to reach In and kill the grub, as it is Insido tho fruit, but, fortunately, there aro othor times In the life of the insect when It can ho at tacked witli bmooohh. The first of those Is before tho JgRS are laid, when the In sect is eatlnglho young leaves. Hoforo tho flower buds open, therefore, spray the trees with London Puriilo. To make this, mm a pound of the Iondon Purple with pound of fresh lime and add water t tho rate of ono pound of the 1'urplo to J 50 gallons of water. Add enough of this water first, to slake the llsro, afterwards tho rest. If peach trees aro sprayed, ll'0 gallons of water ibmild bo 'Vod. Do not spray while tin trees are in blossom, but when tho blossoms have fallen Bpray again, chisis- ing rather a. cool day, if possible. df any of the leaves turn brown and file after spraying It means that the spray was too strong. I n such cases, add 'more water tn tho mixture next, time. A second way of treating this insect, lis 'by spreading a large white cloth on i If lit frame, under the tree at morning or evening .and jarring tho tree sut'dow ly. Tho Insects at these times do net tly readily, 'hut drop onto the cloth and con bo killed. This will dispose yf many and It should bo done about tho amo time in tho spring as thospraylvg. Jfc. third way to handle tho Curculio lis by picking up and burning tho fallen plums every 'day, beginning about week after spnsying for tho last tini; ithistwill catoh tho young gruos in the plums which the othor methods missed, nd will red uoo the number of insects the followlngycar. These methods have all been tried ud wank well, Uie frequent result be' tug that instead of saving ono plum of every twontyfwe that form, about twenty aro saved. T.HK SEVENTEEN YEAR IXXXIBT. One ibrood of this insect is due la Pennsylvania andnhould bo found around Philadelphia and .in Dauphin, Lancas ter, .Northampton and Westmoreland counties. Exact places in tho Statu where it will appear are not known, and if any porson wbo finds it will re port the ifact to tho State Zoologist, Department of Affricnlturo, Harrisburg, Pa., it will greatly uM in getting at the distribution of this brood in thu Stnto.
