Weevils In Corn.
The weevils lay their eggs In the
seed where the young larvae eat the
starch. When full grown they change
to the dormant or pupal stage, from
which the lull growl) weevil emerges
and works its way out to lay the eggs
for another generation. The entire
time, from egg laying to the develop
ment of the full grown weevil, requires
about six weeks.
The Hist step in controlling corn
weevils is to select the seed corn In
the Held, paying special attention to
the ears that are well covered by tlit*
shuck and If possible that hang with
pointed end downward. This is an
Important precaution, although not
sufficient to fully protest the corn in

is very widely used at present, and
when the above precautions are ob
served there are no dangers from ac
cident. It may be purchased at any
drug store or chemical wholesale
house, tanging from ten to twenty
tents per pound. The brand that has
given the best satisfaction in our ex
perimental Work is named Puma and
costs about ton cents si pound. The

top of the crib and not from below.

Assuming that the crib Is moderately !
tight, it is used at the rate of \i lbs.'
to 100 bushels of grain, or approxi
mately 1000 cubic feet of space, the
latter being for tin empty crib. It!
should be repeated in ten days.
It may be distributed in several
shallow vessels, but the simplest way i
Is to sprinkle it over the top like wa
ter and if blankets are available the
surface of the corn should be covered.
Where the bin Is open, the best pos
sible thing to do is to make it tight.
In case of log (jibs, this may he nc
compllshed by means of canvas tacked
over the walls.
Where only a small quantity of grain
Is to be fumigated, such as seed corn |
or cowpeas used for seed, it may be |
accomplished by pouring it in a coal I
oil or molasses barrel. Sued) a barrel
will accommodate about three bushels.
Three to live ounces of carbon bisul
phide is poured over the surface and
the barrel tightly closed for twenty-!
four to thirty-six hours. The top of
the barrel may be mace perfectly tight
by coveting it with several burlap
bags weighted down with boards. A
permanent covering for this purpose
may be made by heavily painting a
piece of canvas of proper size. Wi ich
is then laid over the Opening and a
barrel hoop dropped over the top to
hold it firmly In position.
Carbon bisulphide is not poisonous
nor caustic. It drives the air from the
space to which it is applied and causes
suffocation. When overcome by this
gas in a building, the symptoms con
sist of a dry feeling of the skin and
a streaked headache accompanied by
dizziness. This will pass off Imme
diately after a person reaches the
fresh air. It is not advisable that
people affected with heart trouble
handle this gas to any great extent.
Among other methods for controll
ing weevils. lime and salt are some
time recommended. These materials
are not nearly as effective as fumiga
tion, whiie the decrease in the pal at a
blllty of the corn, where lime is em
ployed, makes the use of this material
The use of each does not decrease
the palatabillty but, in order that it
may do any good at all it must he
used at a heavy rate. A fair applica
tion would consist of 7? to 100 lbs.
of salt to :?00 bushels of corn. Better
permeation Is secured when applying
it in solutions at the rate of 2 lbs. of
salt to one gallon of water. It must
