Granary Weevil (Sitophilus granarius (L.) ) . — This insect, a lit- 

 tle smaller than a grain of wheat, is a brownish-black weevil. It 

 is widely distributed throughout the world, and seems to prefer a 

 temperate climate. The little white legless larvae hollow out the 

 inside of the wheat kernels, and may be extremely injurious to stor- 

 ed grains in the State. This pest has been reported from Belgrade, 

 Billings, Brussett, Chinook, Custer, Deer Lodge, East Helena, Flat- 

 head County, Fromberg, Hardin, Havre, Joliet, Jordan, Melstone, 

 Miles City, and Plains.
