RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The results reported in this bulletin of experiments conducted at 

 the Ontario Agricultural College in growing peas and in combating 

 the pea weevil, as well as the information obtained from some of the 

 most extensive growers, merchants, millers, and exporters of peas in 

 Ontario, lead us to make the following recommendations : 



(1) That the acreage of both field and garden peas of the very- 

 best varieties be greatly increased in those sections of the Province 

 where there are no pea weevils ; 



(2) That the growing of both field and garden peas (to be ripened) 

 in the weevil-infested districts of Ontario be discontinued for the next 

 two years, and such crops as Early Yellow Soy beans. Grass peas, 

 Emmer (improperly called Spelt), mixed grains, etc., be substituted ; 



(3) That if any persons continue to grow and ripen peas in the 

 infested districts, they make the best possible use of the fumigation 

 method ; 



(4) That seedsmen, farmers, and others send no infested peas into, 

 those districts of Ontario where the pea weevil does not exist ; and 



(5) That farmers, gardeners, seedsmen, millers, exporter.'*, im- 

 porters, and all others who have anything to do with the growing or 

 handlinof of peas in Ontario, co-operate heartily in the eftbrt to eradi- 

 cate the pea weevil from Ontario within the next two years.
