ing considerable damage. 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

fumes escapes through the cracks,
but Pyrenone dust is solving this)
problem. 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.
