The Bean Weevil. (New England Homestead, December 21, 1889 

 xxiii, p. 425, c. 2, 3 — 9 cm.). 



As this is usually a local insect, perhaps the best way to meet it i^ 

 by general agreement, to refrain from planting beans in an infested dig 

 trict for a year or two, when the beetles, not flying far for ovipositiod 

 would die without progeny. When occurring within beans, they ma; 

 be killed by dropping the beans for a cj uarter of a minute in hot watei 

 or by subjecting 'them, in a tight vessel, to the vapor of bisulphide q 

 carbon (directions given).
