This circular deals with Bruchus granarius, B. pisorum (pisi), 



B. lentis, Sitones lineatus, Cydia {Gra2)holitha) nehritana, C. (G.) dorsana, 

 Polia (Mamestra) pisi, and Scotogramma {M.) frifolii. Against the 

 grain weevils, shelled peas should be put in cold storage until February, 

 when they should be placed in rooms heated to 50°-68'^ F. This will 

 cause the weevils to emerge and they may then be sifted out. Spraying 

 with hellebore-soap or tobacco-hellebore-soap is recommended against 

 S. lineatus. The moths can only be checked by cultural measures.
