PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 



The first examination was made on the 27tli November 1916 when 

 the juar seeds, etc., were picked out and the wheat cleaned and stored 

 without these seeds, etc. Blown salt was prepared by thoroughly 

 baking common salt over a fire. Murhi is fried rice. 



All were damaged by Rhizopertha dominica. The salt moistened the 

 grains and caused them to ferment and rot. Juar seeds and Murhi 

 also were bored. 



Experiment V. 



Four pounds of Pusa No. 6 wheat were stored in earthen vessels 

 mixed with the following on 20th May 1916. Two examinations were 

 made and the weights taken after sieving out the dirt and insects as 

 far as possible, but with the juar seeds, etc., mixed with the grains.
