Preventives.—From what has been stated above of the life-history of this pest, it would seem natural that this insect would be worse in tobacco which had followed corn or coarse-growing grasses. In case this insect ever becomes serious enough to be a real pest of tobacco, it would seem to be necessary to see that tobacco did not follow corn or any coarse-growing grass. Remedies.—Paris green or arsenate of lead as used against Horn Worms, (page 30) and Flea Bugs (page 35) would be entirely ef- fective against this pest, as the adult beetle is a chewing insect. INSECT ENEMIES OF STORED TOBACCO. Having considered the insect enemies of growing tobacco, we pass to those insects which injure the dry tobacco leaves in tobacco ware- houses and the manufactured products in stores, etc. So far only two insects have been recorded as injuring stored tobacco in North Carolina. The first and most abundant of these is known as the Cigarette Beetle. The other, which is of much less importance as an. insect enemy of stored tobacco, is known as the Drug Store Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original North Carolina.
