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 
scarcit}" of these doubtless explains why there was practically no 
difference between the two blocks. 
Table LXXXVII gives results of jarring peaches at Silo am 
Springs, Ark., during 1908. A block of 950 Elbert as 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 wore used 
for making counts, as detailed in the following table.
