It is very seldom that a small, hard, leathery, and dried-up " drop " does not contain a larva.

It is very necessary to bury " drops" deeply, so that any beetles that might possibly emerge can not get out through the soil, as might be the case if the trench were shallow. Some growers have tried burning the "drops"; but this is not very satis-.
