The Plum Curculio and the Apple.
Prof. S. A. Forbes, in a recent a>
dress, said:
In 1889 I showed by experiment wit)
eurculios taken April 14 on their fir?
emergence from their winter quarter:
that they fed at that early seasor
sometimes on dead fallen leaves, o'
green leaves and fresh blossoms o
the peach, and on the blossoms c
roses, honeysuckle and snowball. Tlie>
evidently ate dead leaves only wbei
living vegetation could not bo foui-.d
as when confined with both they chos
only the latter. Poison experiment
were made on these beetles in confln«
ment by spraying both leaves an
fruit with Paris green, with the resul
that a single treatment of their foy
killed, within eight days, all but on'
beetle of eight lots of specimens poif
oned.
In 1892 Professor John B. Smit
published in the Bulletin of the Nev
Jersey Agricultural Experiment St?
tlon the statement that the curculi*
could be controlled only by poisoniin
the adult beetle, spraying first befon
the trees come into bloom, and at leas
three times atterward, as for tV
codling moth.
In 1901, my attention having beer
particularly called to the importance
of preventing small surface injurk"
to the apple, which lowered its marl:c
grade and diminisned its price, I sen'
an assistant, Mr. E. S. O. Titus,
through southern Illinois in June am!
July to observe and collect example:
of these injuries, and such insects a^
might be held responsible for them.
Quantities of blemished fruit wert
sent to the office for careful study
and as a means of rearing any insect,
which it might contain.
From this investigation it appeared
that much the greater part of the in
jury complained of was due to the
plum-curculio, and that the control ol
this insect would virtually protect th
apple.
Pursuing the subject further, ir
1902 an article prepared by Mr. Tituf
was read by me at your meeting for
that year on "Insects, Other Than
the Coding Moth, Injurious to the
Fruit of tl.e Apple." The greater part
of this paper was given to the wort
of the plum-curculio in the apple or
chard. In addition to many close and
careful observations, an Important
point was made in this paper that in-
jury to the fruit was least in well
cultivated orchards, and the sugges-
tion was made that orchard cultivation
ai a time when the bulk of the cur-
culios are in the ground passing
through their transformations might
have the effect to diminish their num-
ber by killing them in the pupa state.
For this purpose, it was said, a mid
summer plowing would be necessary,
following by harrowing to break up
the clods and expose the pupae mere
thoroughly te the weather. The prompt
destruction of the fallen fruit and
spraying of the trees with Peris green
were also prominently mentioned.
An Idle rumor only awaits a
chance to get busy.

Iron Bacteria.
A well-known scientist says: Iron
compounds in the soil are alsc
changed by the activity of microor-
ganisms, certain bacteria making use
of thsse compounds as sources of en-
ergy just as another group makes u.^e
of the sulphur compounds. The iron
is found originally in the soil, and is
also formed in the destruction of or
ganic matter, the liberated iron com
bining with carbon dioxide gas pres
ent to form carbonates. The carbo-
nates are oxidized by the bacteria,
forming iron hydroxide, which is ai
active chemical agent, and readilj
unites with phosphorus or silica which
may be in the soil, to form phosphate#
or silicates of iron. These salts are
important soil ingredients and con
tribute to the mineral food of plants.
