  The

  best 
  controlled 
  by 
  applying 
  pure 
  carbohneum

  a

  the

  ; 
  

   a 
  few 
  days

  In 
  this 
  booklet 
  the 
  author 
  deals 
  with 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  pests 
  of 
  peas, 
  

   beans 
  and 
  salads. 
  Peas 
  are 
  subjected 
  principally 
  to 
  attack 
  by 
  various 
  

   Bruchidae, 
  amongst 
  which 
  Bruchus 
  pisorum 
  (pisi) 
  is 
  specially 
  men- 
  

   tioned. 
  The 
  females 
  oviposit 
  on 
  the 
  ovaries 
  and 
  the 
  larvae 
  live 
  inside 
  

   and 
  feed 
  on 
  the 
  seeds, 
  the 
  adults 
  remaining 
  in 
  the 
  seeds 
  through 
  the 
  

   winter. 
  As 
  remedies 
  the 
  author 
  suggests 
  the 
  heating 
  of 
  the 
  infested 
  

   seeds 
  to 
  a 
  temperature 
  of 
  122° 
  F. 
  for 
  not 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  minutes 
  ; 
  

   the 
  use 
  of 
  carbon 
  bisulphide 
  ; 
  late 
  sowing 
  of 
  peas, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  beetles 
  

   should 
  have 
  left 
  them 
  before 
  sowing 
  ; 
  trap 
  crops 
  sown 
  from 
  

   10 
  to 
  14 
  days 
  previously, 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  beetles 
  will 
  oviposit, 
  the 
  

   plants 
  being 
  afterwards 
  used 
  as 
  food 
  for 
  domestic 
  animals 
  ; 
  heating 
  

   the 
  seeds 
  in 
  winter 
  to 
  a 
  temperature 
  of 
  68° 
  F., 
  which 
  will 
  cause 
  the 
  

   beetles 
  to 
  come 
  out 
  of 
  them 
  ; 
  moistening 
  the 
  seeds 
  with 
  hme-water
