WEEVILS IN CORN.
Clemson Extension Work-Article
XIV.

The weevls lay their eggs In the
seed where the young larvae eat the
starch. When fun grown they change
to the dormant or pupal stage, from
which the full grown weevil emerges
and works its way out to lay the
eggs for another generation. The en-
tire time for egg laying to the de-
velopment OF the full grown weevil
requires about six weeks.
The first stop In controlling corn
weevils is to select the seed corn In
the field. paying special attention to
the ears that are well covered by the
the pointed end downward. This is
an important precaution, although
not sufficient to fully protect the corn
In the cribs.
Treatment of Corn in Cribs.
Carbon bisulphide is colorless
liquid with a strong disagreeable
oder. 1t vaporizes rapidly at ordi-
nary temperatures. Is highly infiap1-
able. and when ignited Is explosive.
1t 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 dangers from accident. 1t
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 1t are heavier
than air and will sink. therefore the
application Is made at the top OF
the crib and not from below. Fu-
migatfon 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, 1t Is used at the rate OF
pounds to 10 bushels of grain. or
approximately 1000 cubic feet oi
space. the latter being for an empty
crib. 1t should be repeated in ten
| days.
1t may be distributed In several
shallow vessels. but the simplest way
Is to sprinkle II over the top like
water and II 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
1t tight. In case of log cribs, this may
be accomplished by means Of canvas
tackled over the walls.
Where only small quantity OF
grain Is to be fumigated, such as seed
corn or cowpeas used for seed. II
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
bon bisulphide Is poured over the
surface and the barrel tightly close i

THE DROWNING SEASON.
Nevada ative1.

The hot weather of the past few
days is doubtless the immediate oc-
casion of the reporting of numerous
drownings in the rivers Of the state.
Two boys, who were members of
Sunday school picnic party were
drowned at Des Moines; two brothers
were drowned at Dubuque; the Cedar
river above Waterloo has claimed two
or three victims, and single reports
come in from various directions. Such
reports are seemingly inevitable at this
time Of the year, and the grief they
invite from the public are great. The
only suggestion of any value that 1t is
possible to make Is that every young
ster who lives near water that is deep
enough to swim In should be taught to
swim and not so to learn or be taught
IL both to endanger ones lown life and
to imperil also that of friends and as
soc,ates Occasionally drowning Is
a single affair: but in the great part
Of the cases the story Is that one victim
who does not know how to swim gets
into deep water and then seizes and
drags down with him the friend or
brother that tries to save him. Schools
and colleges should have swimming
schools attached, and when they exist
they should be universally patronized.
If all were seasonably taught the sim
pie art there would be few droWnings.

If Jesus were the pastor Of church

What will be Gods method. at the
end Of the world. in dividing the bad

The best thing to do with weeds Is
to burn them, as here stated, but docs
that necessarily imply that God Will
literally burn the wicked?
What are the angels or laws or
forces. which inevitably separate the
bad from the good?
Verses 4l-43.-ls there any reason
to believe that the anology here drawn
between the burning of tares, thus
utterly destroying them. and Cod
treatment of the wicked in the last
day, is to be taken literally; that is,
are the wicked to be burned UP root
and branch, lie, destroyed:
If the wicked are naturally immor-
tai, that is, must live forever, and it
sin is itself misery, as we all know It
to be, then how long will tho misery
of the wicked last? (This question
must be answered in writing by mem :
bers of the cIub.)
What ground is there TO believe,
either from experience. philosophy, or
the scripture, that the wicked may
possibly repent In the next world?
What is the basis Of our belief that
the joys Of the righteous will be for
ever?
