PLUMS 
The great enemy of the Plum is the Curculio. Ilis ravages for a number 
of the past years have been so universal and unsparing that many have 
been led to give up thought of planting this tree any more, deeming the 
chance for fruit too slender to justify the outlay. The best method we 
know of for making successful resistance to these attacks is the following 
described, and this we know to be sure. Very soon after the fruit-blossoms 
begin to fall, spread in the early morning a large sheet on the ground under 
the tree. Then jar the tree strongly with the hand or a mallet. This will 
bring down the invader, and also the young fruit he has commenced to 
work in. The contents ot your sheet must be carefully destroyed. This 
process repeated daily for a week or ten days at the time we have specified, 
w ill rid your trees of the pest, and unless other causes intervene to prevent, 
will insure you a good crop of fruit.
