REMEDIES. 



Deep plowing of the stubble, after harvest, buries the larvae and 

 kills a large proportion of them. The larvae and pupae are, however, very 

 tenacious of life. Many fail to descend to the ground in time and are 

 carried to the barn with the chaff. For this reason all chaff should be 

 burned after an invasion.
