Bean V/eevil. 

 {Acanthoscelides Bruchus ohtectus Say) 

 Dried beans that have been stored away for the winter supply 

 are the ones most aft'ected. Many of the beans showing round 

 holes are where the adult* weevils have matured, some may contain 

 small grubs, while in the lower part of box and in corners will be 

 found these small weevils, about }i inch in length. They are of a 

 brownish, spotted color. New beans may be infected from a few 

 old beans of last year's crop, or by the eggs being deposited in the 

 beans while on the vine. 



Fumigation with carbon bisulphide or carbon tetrachloride 

 is the best treatment and should be applied as soon as beans arc 

 gathered. Never plant infested beans.
