SITO'HA. Two dark-coloured, short and flat-nosed 

 weevils sometimes prove very destructive to Peas and 

 Beans, during March and April. The Striped Pea Weevil 

 (S. lineata) is black, with rusty red legs and antennae. 

 The wing-cases are lined with white. The Spotted Pea 

 Weevil (S. crinita) is black, but covered with grey scales. 

 The wing-cases are covered with short bristles, with 

 some black spots, in lines. Dusting the leaves with 

 soot while they are wet will deter the weevils to some 

 extent. As they feed during the day when the sun is 

 shining, tarred boards may be laid along the sides of 

 the peas early in the morning, and the peas shaken 

 over the boards when the sun is shining.
