liked the child and often helped her with

Weevil In Wheat.

H. A. Gossard, entomologist of the
Ohio experiment station, gives the fol-
lowing method Of Kidding wheat bins
of weevil:
To destroy weevils working in wheat
bins fumigate with bisulphide of car
bon. Procure one pound of the liquid
for each thousand cubic feet Of space
inclosed in the bin. Pour the liquid
into shallow containers, such as plates
or tin pans, and set on top Of the
grain.
Make the building as nearly air tight
as possible by FASTING paper strips
over the cracks, windows, etc. II the
door does not fit tightly tack horse
blanket over it with lath strips after
charging the bin with the chemical.
Keep closed for thirty hours. Do not
bring a lamp or light of any kind, such
as a lighted cigar, near the building
while fumigation is in progress. Flu
migation for thirty hours ought not to
injure the grain for either seeding or
milling purposes. If one fumigation
does not succeed repeat the treatment
as often as necessary increasing the
dose If the building leaks gas.

Standard.
That the grade of seed wheat gen
orally used is not up to the standard
was ascertained in an investigation by
4. W. Shaw of the California station.
who secured large number of sam
Ftes of seed wheat over wide area in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin val
leys of California to determine the
general character of the seed used by
the farmers of the state. In general
the samples showed that the quality
OF seed used by most farmers is lack
ing in purity, perfection of develop
ment, weight per bushel. freedom from
weeds and freedom from bunt. 1t is
stated that practically all investiga-
tors have found the use of large,
plump seed and of high weight per
bushel the most profitable. No perma-
nent benefit is believed to be secured
from the frequent exchange of seed
unless a better type of wheat or a
more vigorous strain of the same type
Is obtained by the exchange The use
of seed from heavy yielding plants, a
plump and heavy grain, clean wheat
and a pure variety are considered by
him the most important points in seed
selection.
In this connection the results secur-
ed by E. G. Montgomery of the Ne
braska station in an experiment with
seed wheat and seed oats selected by
the use Of the tanning mill are of in.

ment in either yield or quality Of grain
as compared with light or unseparated
seed, and it is believed that no perma
nent Improvement in quality or yield
is to be expected from the use of the
tanning mill in seed selection.
At first thought it would seem thai
If ''like produces like" the large OIL
heavy seeds should produce the bes
crop. However, we must recognize the
individual plant as a unit for selection
rather than the individual seed. If {
single plant of wheat be taken and thu
kernels thrashed out it will be found
that all sizes of kernels are produced
by the plant, some large aud som,
, small.
AS every wheat plant contains boil
heavy and light seed, the tanning mil
gives almost the same kind of wheat
so far as inheritance is concerned, Il
the light wheat as in the heavy. ]
must be remembered that reference i
made here to the permanent result
which may be expected from the us
of the tanning mill and that its use o
