Immediately after tho introduction

satisfaction that
. Jcderal reserve membfe
ik had refused to becomo a par
"of the system. > n
All the others and more than 7,000]
state noh-member banks were under
the protection of the insurance plan,
which until July 1 guarantees ill
all accounts of $2,500 or leSB and
which thereafter will cover deposits
of an even larger amount.
As for the one staying outside, the
First National * ^;of Englewood, 111.,!
officials expec^prompt settlement of J
its case when the time comes. Unless
it changes its Saind by July 1 an3
buys its allotted shares of deposit
corporation stock the law compels the
federal reserve board, Governor Black
said vtoday, to expell it from the]
Reserve System.
In addition, the law stipulates that
the comptroller of the currency mustj
appoint a receiver or conservator for i
the institution. However, the banld
1 could circumvent this, it was said, by ,
relinquishing, meanwhile, its charter
as a national bank and obtaining a
license to operate an a state bank. ,
In refusing to join in the insurance (
plan, officials of the bank asserted |
that only government coercion could
bring it in. They said they felt it
was an injustice to assess their j
institution for the purpose, of insuring |
deposits in banks less ably tn\anaged,i

heaped praise upon the deposit cor- ,
poration and the Reconstruction Cor-1
poraation- for a "superb piece of
work" in getting the system func- j
tionin*1. on the appointed day. I
Through the system inaugurated!
today, he said, safety of 97 .per cent]
of the nation's depositors has been
provided, and "any remotQ excuse"
hoarding removed.
"This spells maximum fiscal and i
social service and minimum hazard,"
he added. "Personally I should be
glad to sec his temporary formula
and this $2,500 limit substituted for
the pemanent formulr. which other
wise becomes effective in July, if our I
experience during tha next few j
months vindicates our expectations, i
"Such a substitution mitfht give |
ur the greatest factors of safety and
permanence and universal acceptance
of the new system which Ubelieve to
ho the greatest advance ever ma<f)!
in American banking. Tho savingft
of America now are safe. There no

Meanwhile. Chairman Jones of tho

FUMIGATING STORED 0RAINS
Throughout the central and south
era parts of the state the grain
weevil and the grain mojh iwi'-CHt-Ctffir"
.in the field before ?it is harvested, the
infestation being worse in loose fit
ting shucks. These pests are hauled
to the crib from the field. At every
load thousands ofl these weevils sift
through the corn and lie on the floor
of the wagon bed. When the wagon
bed is swept, the sweepings should
be burned and not thrown on the
ground.
Weevils may 4mcontrolled by fufai-'" -
i gating with carbon bisulphide This
liquid, as well aa the gas, is easily
set on fire and then explodes violent- .
ly. For that reason .,:Jk should be'
handled eVen more -'Cautiously than
gasoline; hence.f ire$<f! all kinds,
including lighted jpipfes, cigars, can
dles, embers, lamp#* etc., should be
kept away. Lofts should not be fum
igated when livestock, li kept under
them. When the tftMerial is not in
use it can be stored. In a cool place.
Carbon bisulphide may be obtained
from local dealers and from whole
sale drug houses at from 20 to 80
cents per pound in small lots, and 7
to 10 cents per pound In 100-pound
drums, f. o. b. The containers arb
furnished at an extra cost but art
returnable.
DIRECTIONS FOR FUMIGATING
Clean old bins thoroughly. Make
the bins or cribs tight. Select a time
when* the temperature of the air is
not below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Use
carbon bisulphide at the rate of 7
pounds to 100 bushels of grain as
follows. Level the com at the sur
face, and at points three feet apart
each way pull out the ears to make
holes. Into these pour the carbon
bisulphide in equal amounts. Throw
the ears back and spread blankets
over the grain. Close the crib tight.
Fumigation should be continued for
24 to 48 hours before the crib is
opened. No ventilation is necessary
except that if the crib is a brick one
it should be ventilated at the end of
3d to 48 hours.
