318 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE 



of sulphur and lime, which worked admirably the first season 

 it was tried, but afterward it did not prove efficacious. 



Mr. Husted — I have tried several methods, but have only 

 had success with the old method of jarring off and destroying 

 the pest. 



Chairman Holt — I have a small orchard of plum trees, and 

 make a practice of keeping the surface of the ground smooth 

 and hard as possible, and by sweeping up the injured plums 

 and burning them, manage to secure a good crop every year. 



Meeting adjourned.
