Economic entomology for the farmer Economic entomology for the farmer and the fruit grower, and for use as a text-book in agricultural schools and colleges; . economicentomolo00smit Year: 1906 THE INSECT WORLD. 177 inch in length, with the edges of the thorax toothed, are excep- tions in habit, though not in form, and often infest granaries, mills, and stables. The adult as well as its larva is frequently- found in mangers or in neglected little masses of meal, flour, or grain, in which they breed. Cleanliness is the best remedy when these insects become abundant : allow no partly emptied boxes or bags to lie about, keep current supplies covered or tied up, and sweep out corners at short intervals. Bisulphide of carbon, where its application is possible, is an effective remedy, readily destroying the beetles as well as their larvae. Fig. 153. Fig. 154. Fig. 155.
