PLANTS and THEIR PESTS.
Weekly Bulletin on Timely Topics Issued
By the State Department OF
Agriculture.
INSECTS IN SEED BEANS.

"I am enclosing herewith some
insects which have Just made
their appearance In a box of seed
beans. set the box out in the
weather at 8 degrees below the
freezing point, built doesn't seem
to kill them. What are they?
Are they harmful to the seed?
How do they get in their work."
The above is the substance of a
letter which accompanied some
insects sent recently by the man
ager of a publishing house IN
Western Pennsylvania to Pro-
fessor Fl. A. Surface, State Zoo
loglst, Harrisburg.
The reply of the Professor to
this request for information was
as follows:
"I have received the insects
which you sent to me from the
seed beans, end can tell you that
they are bean weevils. I doubt
if they would be killed by freezing
because Nature provides for the
protection of her own, and if IN
sects were. so easily killed they
would soon be extermlnated by
natural causes. They are, OF
course, injurious to the beans,
which are sometimes so badly IN
jured by the pests that they will
not germinate, or, if they dc
sprout, they sometimes do not
have enough vlgor to grow well.
'The proper Thing to do, al
this time OF the year, is to fumi
gate all beans and peas, in order
to kill the weevlls that are IN
them, and prevent these pests
which live through the winter
from continuing their gnawlne
within the seeds and increasing
their race for another season 4
depredations. The easiest meth
cd Of dong this is to put the
seeds into a vessel like a wasf
boiler, that can be closed, and
put into this vessel a shallow pie
tin, and pour into the pie tin
teacupful of carbon bisulfide
Then close the vessel tightly, ant
let it remain undlsturbed for
day, by which time the pests vii
have been destroyed. Keep 1t il

like those of benzine or gasoline
and fire should consequently bt
