  Otiorrhynchus 
  sip-p. 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Crimea 
  and 
  generally 
  in 
  South 
  

   Russia 
  along 
  the 
  coasts 
  of 
  the 
  Black 
  Sea 
  ; 
  the 
  Crimean 
  species 
  is 
  

   0. 
  asphaltinus, 
  Germ., 
  while 
  the 
  commonest 
  species 
  in 
  other 
  parts 
  

   is 
  0. 
  turca. 
  These 
  beetles 
  are 
  as 
  dangerous 
  a 
  pest 
  of 
  vine-stocks 
  as 
  

   Phylloxera, 
  and 
  in 
  some 
  years 
  destroy 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  vintage. 
  

   The 
  damage 
  is 
  done 
  in 
  spring, 
  when 
  the 
  vine-buds 
  begin 
  to 
  swell, 
  

   the 
  beetles 
  piercing 
  the 
  buds 
  and 
  feeding 
  on 
  their 
  contents. 
  Several 
  

   generations 
  are 
  bred 
  during 
  spring, 
  summer 
  and 
  autumn, 
  and 
  the 
  

   period 
  when 
  damage 
  is 
  done 
  lasts 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  April 
  until 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  June 
  ; 
  later, 
  when 
  the 
  shoots 
  become 
  more 
  woody, 
  the 
  

   weevils 
  are 
  no 
  longer 
  able 
  to 
  injure 
  them. 
  

  

  0. 
  asphaltinus 
  hides 
  during 
  the 
  day 
  and 
  feeds 
  at 
  night, 
  while 
  

   0. 
  turca 
  feeds 
  during 
  the 
  mornings. 
  Against 
  both 
  species 
  the 
  

   author 
  recommends 
  hand-picking 
  at 
  night 
  and 
  spraying 
  with 
  barium 
  

   chloride. 
  

  

  Hand-picking 
  c^n 
  be 
  done 
  only 
  during 
  warm 
  nights, 
  as 
  the 
  beetles 
  

   do 
  not 
  leave 
  their 
  hiding-places 
  in 
  the 
  earth 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  cold. 
  On 
  

   warm 
  nights 
  28 
  workmen 
  are 
  able 
  to 
  collect 
  from 
  10,000 
  to 
  15,000 
  

   beetles, 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  the 
  upper 
  buds, 
  which 
  are 
  the 
  most 
  fertile, 
  

   can 
  be 
  saved, 
  as 
  the 
  pests 
  begin 
  their 
  attack 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  ones. 
  

  

  Spraying 
  must 
  be 
  begun 
  early 
  in 
  spring 
  and 
  continued 
  at 
  short 
  

   intervals 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  time 
  when 
  the 
  wood 
  of 
  the 
  shoots 
  has 
  hardened. 
  

   Early 
  in 
  May, 
  a 
  6 
  per 
  cent, 
  solution 
  of 
  barium 
  chloride 
  is 
  recommended, 
  

   increased 
  later 
  to 
  12 
  per 
  cent., 
  1 
  lb. 
  of 
  potato 
  molasses 
  being 
  added 
  

   to 
  every 
  27 
  gallons. 
  Small 
  holes, 
  filled 
  with, 
  flat 
  stones, 
  may 
  also 
  be 
  

   made 
  underneath 
  the 
  \^nes, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  insects 
  hide 
  during 
  the 
  day, 
  

   and 
  can 
  then 
  be 
  easily 
  collected 
  and 
  destroyed. 
  Smearing 
  the 
  low^er 
  

   portion 
  of 
  the 
  vine-stems 
  with 
  an 
  adhesive 
  is 
  also 
  recommended, 
  

   although 
  this 
  remedy 
  is 
  too 
  expensive 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  large 
  vine-stocks. 
  

   It 
  is 
  also 
  necessary 
  to 
  smear 
  the 
  poles, 
  as 
  otherwise 
  the 
  insects 
  will 
  

   get 
  from 
  these 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  plants.
