Control of Weevils In Corn.
Fully as important as the attention
a to increased yield of corn is the care
of the corn after it is harvested. Ex
amination of ears in the field even as
early as August in 'many cases will
show damage caused by the presence
of the young and adults of one of the
two most destructive of our corn in
sect pests-the small black rice wee
vl or the Angoumois grain moth.
Those ears inclined downward in
which the shucks fit closely about the
tips will be observed in the field and
in the stored condition to be least wee
vil infested, this is a good point as a
preventive measure to bear in mind in
the selection of ears for seed.
Before the new corn is placed in the
crib, this building should be thorough
_I eansed out and the old corn in it
t ed with carbon bisulphide to rid
it of weevils 'infesting it. This car
bon bisuiphide is a volatile liquid, the
gas from which is almost three times
heavier than air and very inflammable,
so extreme care must be exercised
that no fire or matches are carried
about the building fumigated. Carbon
bisulphide of a pure grade may be
J.bought at any drug store at about 30
cents a pound; however, a much
cheaper grade and one fully as effec
tive for fumigation can be bought from
wholesale dealers at about half this
cost. The first essential in fumigation
is 1 see that the crib to be fumigated
ii made as tight as possible closing up
as far as practicable all openings. For
the avrage crib 10 pounds of the car
bon bisulphide poured upon sacks
spread over the top of the corn and
aowed to evaporate Is sufficient for
every 100 bushels of corn, and confine
thie gas as long as possible. This be
ing heavier than air sinks to the bot
tom of the crip penetrating to the
corn as it does so. A temperature of
60 to 65 degrees Fah. or higher i the
most effective temperature at which to
do this work.
The arst treatment should be given
within a week or two after harvesting
and followed by a similar treatment
aJout 10 days latei. Especially corn
selected for seed should be treated
tWls way In air tight boxes for about
Ui hours, since the germinating power
ofweevil infested corn is practically
({estroyed. Care should. be taken to
1(reathe as little of the fumes as poe
sible. Carbon bisulphide of this
strength in no way injures the corn
either for food or for seed purposes.

ncessary. Therefore, the seed ears
shrould be selected from stalks which
have grown under average conditions.
To make this seletion properly, it
ufust first be decided which portion of
the field represewts as near as possible

Then from blooky and healthy stalks
which har'e not been favored with any
undue amount of distance or richness
in the soil, the seed ears should be
gathered. Before breaking the ears
from the stalks, one should ascertain
>1eir size as near as possible. This
cn be done by carefully examining

to be of good size and well filled out

the corn should be a prolific -variety,
it do.es not matter whether the top or
bottom ear is selected so long as a
good oog is secured.
After having selected about twice as
many eaars as will be necessary for
seed, '.of them should be stored it
a place '.e from mice and weevils. A
few days prior to planting time, all c1
the ears should be shucked and on13
the best ones should be retained fox

that all seed ears should be free froir
