of beetle?, in his jarring experiments, on May 17. The numbers col-

than in 132o. ,. later report, from hi 1, under date of June 15, 
states that the insect is unusually abundant this season and that 
Tiany growers are reporting to bin JO to oC per cent of their apples

jarring for the plum curculio.
