The weevils lay their eggs In th ? seed where the young larvae eat the sturch. When full grown they change to the dormant or pupal stage, from which the full grown weevil emerges and works Its way out to lay the e?gs for another generation. The en? tire time for egg laying to the de xelopment of the full grown weevil, requires about six weeks. The first stop In controlling corn weevils la to select the seed corn In the field, paying special attention to the ears that are well covered by the shuck ani if possible that hang with th? pointed end downward. This Is an Important precaution, although not sufficient to fully protect tho corn In the cribs. , Treatment of Corn In Cribs. Carbon bisulphide is a colorlesH liquid with a strong disagreeable i oder. It vaporises rapidly at ordl- 1 nary temperatures. Is highly lnflam able, and when Ignited is explosive. It is. therefore, Important to keep away fire of any kind, whether flame, stove, lantern, embers, lighted pipe or cigar. This chemical is very widely used at present, and when the above precautions are observed there are no danegrs from accident. It may be purchased at any drug store or chemical wholesale house, ranging from ten to twenty-five cents per pound. The brand that has given the best satisfaction In our experimental work Is named Fuma and costs about ten cents a pound. The liquid and vapor coming from it are heavier than air and will sink, therefore the application Is made at the top of the crib and not from below. Fu? migation should be done on warm days as volatilization Is slower in cold weather and consequently less ef? fective. Assuming that the crib Is moder? ately tight. It Is used at the rate of 3 pounds to 10 bushels of grain, or approximately 1,000 cubic feet of space, the latter being for an empty crib. It should be repeated in Isn days. It may be distributed In several shallow vessels, but the simplest way is to sprinkle It over the top like water and n* blankets are available the surface of the corn should be covered. Where the bin is open, the best possible thing to do Is to make It tight. In case of log cribs, this mny be accomplished by means of canva 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 oil or molases barrel. Such a barrel will accommodate about three bushels. Three to five ounces of car l">n bisulphide Is poured over the surface and the barrel tightly closed for twenty-four to thlrty-slx hours The top of tho barrel may be made perfectly tight by covering It with several burlap baga weighted down with boards. A permanent covering for this purpose may be made by j heavily painting a piece of canvas of proper size which Is then laid over the opening and a barrel hoop drop- j ped over the top to held 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 symp? toms consist of a dry feeling of the skin and a streaked headache, accom? panied by dizziness. This will pass off immediately after a person reach? es the fresh air. It is not advisable that people affected with heart trou? ble handle this gas to any great ex? tent. Among other methods lor controll? ing weevils, llmo and salt are yome times recommended. These materials are not nearly as effective as fumi? gation, while the decrease in the pala- | tal illty of the corn, where lime is em- 1 ployed, makes the use of this material objectionable. The use of each does not decrease ! the palatability but, in order that I it may do any good at all It must be used at a heavy rate. A fair appli ; cation would consist of 75 to 100 j pounds of salt to 300 bushels of corn. ; Better permeation is secured when applying it in solution at the rate of 2 pounds salt to one gallon of water. It must be applied when the corn is put In the crib. Prof A. F. Conrad;, H. <\ Kxperlmental 8tation Enton^.. ogist Burglars on Wheels.
