Application of Carbon pIsulnhfde.

Fl. e. Weed Of the Mississippi expert
ment station reports to The Farmers
Review simple and effective method
Of applying carbon bisulphide as a rem
edy to weevil in grain. 1t consists in
simply pouring the liquid over the top
of the grain. He says: "This is but the
work of moment, and applied in this
way the effect is greater, as by this
means all the bisulphide used evaporates
at once, forming moro poisonous at
mosphere than would be the case where
the bisulphide is put into open dishes
and left to slowly evaporate. For three
years past we have found this method
decidedly the best in our work at this
station
