ITS INJURY.

The ms ngo weevil is not known to
attack any other fruit. Its injury to
the mango is prirharily the destruction
of the seed. The incisions IN the rind
do, of course, blemish the fruit and
offer places of infection for the germs
of decay In the first lot of mangoes

mated that about so per cent were in

ITS CONTROL.

Since the mango weeVi is a special
feeder on the seed of the mango, its
numbers in any particular season are
III direct proportion to the size of the
mango crop for that season. That Is,
VIXEN the mangOeS are abundant, the
brood of weevils arising from the fruit
will also be large in numbers. Any
natural condition of climate or disease
that affects the mango crop will like
wise reduce the numbers of the mango
weevil
The destruction of all fallen man
goes and refuse seeds will be quite
effective for the reason that the adult
beetle does not leave the seed until
some time after the maturity of the
fruit.
The burning of all refuse about the
mango trees during the months from
October to March would destroy many
of the hibernated weevils.
To deprive the mango weevil of its
food in any particular locality for two
seasons would mean its determination
in that locality, and could re-lnvaS1on
be prevented, it would further mean
freedom from injury to future crops
An act worthy of the attempt would
be to destroy for period of two years
all the fruit in the infested district
after first making a careful survey of
the distribution of the weeVll. Neglect
ed trees in deserted places and along
the wayside could be cut down. All
the common varieties could be cut back
for marching or grating with the
finer varieties The finer varieties, of
which not a great number are under
bearing. could be allowed to fruit and
the fruit or refuse seeds destroyed.
Certain trees should be left to fruit
throughout the infested district to act
as bait for the weevils. These trees
should he under the control of in
spectors and the fruit gathered and
destroyed after the weevils of the
previous seasons brood had completed
population and oviposition.

DRASTIC
PROPOSAL
Destroy All Manages to
Exterminate the
WeeyiI.

| A press bulletin of particular inter
! est to the people of this immediate
neighborhood dealing with the mango
weeviI. has just been issued from the
Hawaiian Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton 1t was prepared by D. L. Van
| Dine. the station entomologist. who
has made a special study of this re
| Gently introduced pest during the past
| season.
The destructive work of the mango
weevil was noted here for the first time
last year, investigation showing that
it had not been introduced prior to
1903. The beetle is of the same family
as the cotton boll-weevil. which has
destroyed $4,000, 900 worth of cotton in
the United States since 1892, and its
presence here will effect an embargo
on mangoes going to the Coast unless
it can be controlled.
ITS OCCURRENCE IN HAWAII
The mango weevil is first recorded
from the Hawaiian Islands by Mr.. Van
Dine in August 1905. The first speci-
men observed was a pupa that Mr.. J.
E. Higgins discovered July 3, 1905, with
in the seed Of a mango that he had col
lected at Mr.. Allan Herbert's former
place at Kalihi, Island of Oahu. Two
days later the writer visited the dis
trict of Moanalua, this Island. and
there found larvae, puDae and adults
within the seeds of various varieties of
mangoes. Mr.. Donald MacIntyre, Sup
erintendent of Moanalua Gardens, had
not noticed the presence of the weevil
in the seeds for the reason that for
the past two years he had not removed
the husks from the seeds before plant
ing them. For seven years previously,
however, Mr.. MacIntyre informed the
writer that he had practiced the re-
moval of all husks before planting
seeds in the nursery and it is reason
able to suppose from this that the Wee
vii made its advent into the Moana-
lua Gardens not earlier than 1903. IN

Higgins and Mr.. G. P. Wilder, all prem

weevil had not been observed in Ho- |

AS a beetle, the mango weeVil has a
thick pair Of wing-covers which, when
folded together at rest, give the body

covers are much rounded and extreme
ly hard. As a Weevil, the head is pro-
longed in front into a beak or rostrum.
bearing the antennae on its sides and
the modified mouth-parts a the eX-
IRENE end. The mouth-parts are form
ed for gnawing. In the mango weevil,
the beak. is short and thick and when
a rest is turned back beneath the
thorax in a groove terminating between
the first pair Of legs. The adult wee
vii varied from IA of an inch to 5-16
of an inch in length in the specimens
measured. When newly developed. the
adult is a whitish pink in color, but
soon changes to a dark brown with
yellowish markings.
The beetle feigns death on being dis
turbed and drops to the ground with
the head drawn we'll under the thorax
and the legs folded beneath the body.
Its protective resemblance to coarse
earth and debris is particularly notice
able. Nothing has been observed in re-
gard to the food habits of the adult.
The eggs of the mango weevif were
found on mangoes from one-half to
three-fourths fully grown. situated
alongside a slight incision on the rind.

The trouble lies in the fact that certain am

Two very familiar and oft repeated statements are
that the hair must be watered and fed just like

these statements false in every particular, it
