OBSERVATIONS UPON INJURIOUS INSECTS. 
( punctured and blotched appearance of the peas 
planting time the following spring. The vines in 
the garden should all be pulled and burned as soon 
as the peas are too large for table use. As soon as 
peas are harvested from the field, hogs or sheep 
should be turned in to pick up all scattered seed, 
and the harvested crop should be so managed as to 
secure the destruction of all the weevils that are 
taken with it if possible. 
We found that we could use the peas from our 
garden last summer by picking them quite green 
and then looking them over and throwing out all 
infested ones before cooking. 
The illustrations in Figs, i, 6, 8, 11 and 12 of

assistant entomologist of the station, and Fig. 3

Fifth Rep. of the U. S. Entomological Commission 
and was obtained through the kindness of Dr. C.
