The bad odor passes off in a few days. Kansas Notes.—In a bulletin issued by this Department in February, 1892, attention is called to the occurrence of this pest in Kansas. At this writing (October, 1892), this insect is threat- ening to injure the cereal specimens collected by the State for ex- hibit at the World's Fair. The specimens are stored in a large warehouse at Topeka, in which the moths are abundant. The pest does great damage in the Southern States, where as many as eight generations are produced in a j^ear. GRAIN WEEVILS. {Calandria species; Order, Coleoptera.) Diagnosis.—About same as for Grain Moth. A footless grub; pupa without long feelers, or adult beetle, instead of moth will be found within the kernels. Description and Life-history.—The adult insect is a small, dark- colored snout-beetle, which lays its eggs on the grain. The small, foot- less larvae soon hatch and eat their way into the kernels, maturing in a few weeks. There are several broods each year. Corn, oats, wheat, barley and other stored grains are indiscriminately at- tacked. Remedies.— Same as Fk;. 25.
