; THE PARSLEY STALK WEEVIL. 19 
METHODS OF CONTROL. 
The grower who reported injury to parsley in Virginia abandoned 
this crop on account of the ravages of the weevil. Hence no experi- 
ments could be made with remedies. There can be no doubt that 
the species could be reached with bisulphid of carbon or kerosene 
emulsion applied about the roots in the same manner as for root- 
maggots and similar insects. All things considered, however, in 
the case of parsley the wisest measure was just what the grower 
did. After the lapse of a year or two, perhaps, parsley might be 
grown with impunity in the same locality.
