a project on the plum curculio in the eastern part of the St h* s 
reported that his jarring experiments showed the maximum collection 
cf beetles in the orchards to be on or about the 11th of -June, 
thou jh large numbers have been collected since that time. From 
indications in that section the abundance of the pest is about 
normal. As far as our observations in the western section of tl 
Ftate are concerned, we have not as yet noted an;; indications of

it does not threaten to cause quite so much injury as normally 
is the case,
