Biology of Eleodes suturalis

old discarded bundles of mixed weeds and grass, and other shelter and 
hibernating quarters be burned or entirely removed. Especial emphasis 
should be placed on the burning of piles of dead Russian thistles, which 
at present are so common in fields and along the roadsides of farms in 
the central and western portion of the infested region. Although the 
scope of this paper does not permit detailed discussion of control measures 
for more than one species within this family, it is probable that effective 
control measures will be found not to differ greatly for most of the other 
related species of economic importance.
