One pair of weevils tucked away in an ear of corn at harvest time will raise a family 400 to 500 strong' in a few short weeks. By the time you are ready to feed the corn to your stock or grind it for meal, they may have eaten up 90 percent of the food value of your corn. Farmers get little help from the low temperatures in this section that tend to control insects in corn in shuck.

The material can be bought on local market at a very reasonable cost. Harvest Sweet Potatoes • For those who have not harvested their sweet potatoes, they should do so at once as the frost bitten leaves sours the sap which in turn sours the potato causing rot in storage. No potato storage house will keep damaged potatoes from rottening. Potato houses protect only clean and souna potatoes stored.
