vStimnlate the vines by appropriate fertilizers to force the blossoms, and by inducing 

 a heavy bloom get a surplus that will stand some thinning by insects without really 

 shortening the desired crop. 



While tile danger is greatest a man shoiUd be sent through the vineyard at least 

 twice a day (Sundays not excepted), say in the early morning and just after noon, 

 to clear the vines of beetles, using one of the described collectors. * * » 



Collecting should be continued at least once a day for 3 weeks (even if the insects 

 do no further injury) to prevent egg laying.
