As will be noted, the jarred plat gave 
88.42 per cent of fruit free 
from infestation, as against 87.04 per cent on the untreated block, a 
difference in favor of the jarred plat of 1.38 per cent. Only 2,606 
beetles were captured during the season, and the comparative 
scarcity of these doubtless explains why there was practically no 
difference between the two blocks. 
Table LXXXVII gives results of jarring peaches at Siloam 
Springs, Ark., during 1908. <A block of 950 Elbertas was jarred from 
March 28 to June 27. Nine trees from the jarred block and a like 
number from an adjacent untreated part of the orchard were used 
for making counts, as detailed in the following table.
