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 {hl? e|i),s. Treatment of Corn in Cribs. Carbon bisulphide Is a colorless liquid with a,stroiig disagreeable odor. It vaporizes rapidly at ordinary tem peratures, is highly Inflammable ami when ignited Is explosive, it is, there fore, Important t > KEEP AWAY FIRE OF ANY KIND, WHETHER FLAME, STOVE, LANTERN, EMBERS, LIGHT ED PIPE OR CIGAR. This chemical 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 Ii<111i?1 and vapor coining from it are heavier than air and will sink, there for the application is made at the top of the crib and not from below. Fumigation should be done on warm , days its volatilization Is slower in ' cold weather und consequently less effective. 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 objectionable. 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 by applied when the corn is put In the crib. Prof. A. F. Conrad I, S. C. Bxperlental station Entomologist Grope is most prevalent during the dry cold weather of the early winter months.
