An effort should be made to disk as close to the tree trunks as possible without scarring them, as most of the pupal cells occur under the spread of the trees. Since pupae in the soil during May and June develop into beetles that are responsible for most of the " worms " in late varie- ties at harvest time, this is a highly desirable control measure.. Fig. 10.—Jarring peach trees to catch the adult curculios. JARRING FOR THE CURCULIO. In sections where the curculio infestation is expected to be heavy it would probably be profitable to jar the trees in the spring, espe- cially near woodlands or other hibernating places, to collect the beetles. (Figs. 10 and 11.) The beetles leave their hibernating quarters just be- fore or at the time the trees are in full bloom. At this season of the year their number is much greater on the trees near the places where they have hibernated, as it takes some time for them to become dis- seminated over the whole orchard. When the beetles are disturbed they fold their legs and fall to the ground, or " play possum." They are less active during the early morning than at any other time, and the jarring can best be done before the sun is very high. During cloudy days, however, the operation can be conducted at any time of.
