GRANARY WEEVIL (C alendra granaria L .) 
H. Sm Doane (November l,192l). "This insect is causing 
much injury to stored wheat at Romulus and Seneca Falls, 
in Soneca County," 
Um H* Swenk (November 18,1921). "In northern Nebraska , 
especially Cedar County, heavy injuries to stored oats 
by the granary weevil were evident." 
RICE WEEVIL ( Calendra oryza L.) 
H. A. Gossard (March 18). "The rice weevil was reported 
as destructive from Medina*"

A, 8* Conradi (November 1,1921). "Reports from the county 
agents indicate that this insect is very seriously injurious 
to stored corn in Laurens, Lexington, Lancaster, Clarendon, 
Saluda, Marion, Fairfield, and Chester Counties, the damage 
appearing even more serious than usual." 
SAW- TOOTHED GRAIN BEETLE ( Oryzaephilus ( SilvanutO s urinamcnsis L.) 
Cm N. Ainslie (November 3,1921). "Elavator men and grain 
buyers in northwestern Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and eastern 
South Dakota are complaining of serious damage from 'bran 
buggfe ' and grain weevils in stored grain. I understand that 
oats have suffered the most, the kernel being eaten out leaving 
the hulls empty. It is supposed that the unusually mild winter 
of 1920-21 is responsible for the multiplying of these posts. 
Investigation of these reports indicates that most of the injury 
is being done by the saw-toothed grain beetle, which appears 
to have multiplied throughout the Northwest, This species 
has also been very annoying by its inroads on household food 
supplies. Calendra granaria and C_, oryza are present in 
limited numbers while Psocids are especially numerous in the 
oats. While the injury caused by these pests is rather small, 
terminal elevator men are docking the farmers from 3 cents 
to 13 cents a bushel which is probably out of proportion to 
the real inijury." 
M» H. Swenk (November 18,1921). "In northwestern Nebraska, 
ospecially in Cedar County, heavy injury to 6tored oats by 
the saw-toothed grain beetle was evident."
