. Controlling the curculis, brown rot and scab in the peach belt of Georgia. Control of the Curculio, etc., in Georgia. 17 severely during the previous season from the curculio and brown-rot, and near them at a number of places were excellent hibernating quar- ters for the curculio. Approximately 5,000 trees were utilized in the experiment, and they were divided into plats of as nearly 200 trees each as practicable, so that the various schedules would have equal chances to prove their effectiveness. An effort was also made to place all plats an equal dis- tance from the hibernating quarters of the curculio. In the center of each plat 10 trees were selected and tagged as record trees. The fruit from these trees was harvested separately, and each peach was cut open, examined, and recorded so that the exact percentages of.

All drops were collected from these record trees throughout the season and examined for data on the curculio infestation and the presence of brown-rot and scab. The Hiley orchard used for this work was on Norfolk sandy-loam soil and the Elberta orchard on Orangeburg sandy loam. Most of the trees were healthy and had made good growth. The age of all the Hiley trees was 12 years. The age of the Elbertas varied from 4 to 10 years and this was unfortunate, as the schedules used on the 4-year-old Elbertas did not receive a fair test with the schedules used on the older Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Snapp, Oliver I.
