bring about unfavorable conditions for
injury and thus prevent loss.
1t will also be seen how important
il is to know the principal facts In re-
gard to the life history and habits OF
the insect, in order to secure the best
results from methods of management
and OF direct control.
Heretofore this species has been
confused with another species with
very different habits, and some of the
published data and recommendation
based on such confusions are of no
value.
The only practical method of de-
stroying the weevil appears to be the
treatment of the infested terminals,
and to secure the best results special
attention must be given to certain i'm
portant details.
If the infested terminals are cut or
broken during June and July and
burned, the broods of the weevil will
be effectually destroyed. but vast num-
bers of natural enemies will also be
destroyed. A better method is to col
lect the terminals during the first half
of July before the beetles begin to
| emerge and to place them in tight bar
| rels securely covered with wire fly
screen netting on one or both ends.
| The barrels should be left in the
groves, so that the parasites and 9TH
er enemies may escape, while the
| beetles perish. After the 1st of Oc-
tober the weevils will all be dead, and
the netting may then be removed. al
though the barrels with their contents
! should be left until the following June
to allow the escape of the later devel-
oping and larger parasites. The bar
rel should not be placed In a position
to collect rain. 1t is necessary, how
ever. If this method be adopted. that II
be repeated two or three years in sue
cession in the same locality. in order
to catch the successive broods from
the old parent beetles that live over
from preceding years.
