Pea Weevil.
Many persons misunderstood this
pest in supposing that this largest of
the pea and bean weevils continues to
breed in the harvested and stored
peas This is not true except that the
weevils in the seed continue to
emerge after the peas have been
sacked. The crop thus gets buggier
and buggier until all the brood comes
out The great danger is, however,
that the growers or warehouse men
will let these weevils, which normally
overwinter in the adult stage, get
loose and fly back to next years pea
field Here the mother sticks her
eggs singly to the new pods in the
blossoming pea, and the Matched grub
bores through the pod into the seed,
injuring next years yield.
Simple ControI-Growers should
examine their sacks, if they nave not
done so, now during warm day in
winter, or bring sack indoors to
warm up for week to coax out de-
layed individuals. If the sacks re-
veal blackish weevils, or beetles, one
fifth inch long, thickly variegated by
brown, white, and black hairs, control
should be planned. (D The
