a pcnuti of four days would be quite ctfcctivc, provided the 

 infested fruit is collected daily and stibmerged in water. The 

 two last methods, however, could be advantageously combined. 

 Infested fruit could be collected daily and thrown into a barrel 

 or tank of water, and when a sufficient amount has accumu- 

 late<l the maggoty fruit could fat buried. This would do away 

 with the riaily plowing or digging of trenches, filling in and 

 tramping of the soil. In large orchards, however, the daily 

 gathering of infested fruit would lie rather cxnensivc on 

 account of the labor.
