FORTIETH ANNUAL REPORT.

been observing during the summer he found that a good crop of peaches had set, but 75 

 per cent of the crop had fallen on account of the work of the curculio. Encouraging 

 results have been had by spraying the peach with arsenate of lead just as the shuck falls, 

 and again later if necessary. Another remedy is in thorough cultivation of the orchards 

 up into August. The worm goes into the ground to pass the pupal stage and a very little 

 disturbance at this time kills it. Prof. Hammar found by experiment where 100 worms 

 were placed in confinement and allowed to enter the ground that 75 per cent of them were 

 killed by stirring the soil with a lead pencil. In their natural habits they remain so near 

 the surface that they are killed by the ordinary harrow. Undoubtedly the curculio is 

 doing much greater damage than we have thought by puncturing the very young fruit 

 causing it to drop, and later by providing entrance for the spores of the rot fungus and so 

 causing decay. Much of what is known as the June drop^may be caused by thecur- 

 culio.
