Mrs. l.. w. Huff. 1912 Broadway who
managed TO capture at pistol point and
turn over to the police burly negro
twice her size, who insulted her twelve
year old daughter.

Shortly after six o'clock the black
man who gives his name as David
Johnson and who says that he is from
Chicago opened the door of the Huff
home and finding Mrs. Huffs twelve
year old daughter aolne he made an
insulting proposal to her.
Mrs. Huff, who was in the front part
of the house went into her bed room
and secured revolver and coming into
the kitchen she pointed the weapon at
Johnson's head and ordered him to
leave.

The negro FASTENED 10 comply with
the demand and Mrs. Huff followed him
with the pointed revolver to the street
A neignbor had turned in an alarm to
the police station in the meantime and
when the patrol wagon arrived Mrs
HUFF turned her prisoner over TO officer
McElfresh.
When arraigned before Judge
Wildermuth this morning the negro

The number of generations will
vary, but there may be three in early
maturing corn, before the first of
December.
The Fly Weevil or Grain Moth.
The fly weevil is generally dis
tributed. The parent moths so often
seen around the corn cribs has given
this pest the name, 'fly weevil' or
grain moth" In this stage their
only function is to lay eggs and fur
nish food for birds and bats. The
latter often catch large numbers.
In general development this weevil
shows changes similar to those of
the black weevil. That is, there oc-
cur, first, the egg stage, which is
laid on the kernels, or tucked in be-
meath the shuck by the female; sec
ond, the young larval stage( see il
lustration), which is longer and
more worm-like than the black

Nv ticularly to corn weevils, the
w remedial measure--fumigatio
with carbon bisulphide-is equally
successful against weevils in beans
and peas.
The unprecedented dry weather
which prevailed this summer over
made it impossible for many farmers
to SOW their coWpea seed or make
late paintings of corn. AS a conse-
qnence many bushels of cowpeas and
corn intended for seed purposes have
not been used and must either be
fed or sold, probably at sacrifice,
or else the seed must be kept for
next year. Several people have
written to inquire how this seed may
be kept free from weevils, with
which nearly all have had expert
ence.
1t is difficult problem. Let it be
understood from the first that the
weeyils are hard to fight, especially
so in the face of existing conditions,
for the grain bins and corn cribs are
not made tight enough to allow of
successful fumigation with poison
GUS fumes.
The weevils found in cowpeas and
beans, although differing in appear
ance, are similar to the corn Weevils
in habits and development.
The Black or Rice Weeyils.

it is called, is most numerous in
some sections. This weevil may be

though many think that the weevils
all get in the corn after being
housed
The female weevil lays her eggs
within the kernel of corn or wheat
in a hole she prepares. She is en-
abled to do this, even in hard corn,
by possessing strong mandibles
(teeth) two in number, situated on
the extreme end of her beak. A
strong magnifying glass is needed to
see these tiny teeth, which open
sideways, but they are admirably
suited to the purpose.
The eggs will hatch in three DAYS
in weather above 65 degrees F.
The young (larvaD stage is white,
feshy and robust, possessing, strong,
horny, brown jaws. Immediately
after Matching the larva eats towards
the center of the kernel, or may go
to the germ and totally destroy it
for seed. Careful tests have shown
that only a small per cent of the
weevil-infested corn terminates. This
no doubt accounts for many poor
stands of corn. Within the kernel
the larva may become full grown in
Is to IS days.
The next change is to pupa, dur
ing which it does not feed. The pupa
is white and shiny and shows the
general shape and outline of the
beetle to which it changes after two
or three weeks.

These moths fly to the corn fields

Two or three generations may devel-

FumigatiOn Treatment.
Weevil-infested corn can be sue
cessfully fumigated in air-tight boxes
or corn bins by using carbon bisul-
phide, a clear, foul-smelling liquid,
which evapOrates rapidly when ex-
posed in shallow dishes. The fumes
are 2.63 times heavier than air, con-
sequently in use the liquid should
be exposed on top of the corn, let
ting the heavy fumes settle, as they
will in an air-tight space. The diff
Guilty Of this treatment lies in con-
fining the fumes long enough to kill
the WeeVils. 1t is difficult even in
closely constructed grain bins, and
practically impossible in the ordinary
corn crib The poisonous fumes,
while much heavier than air, are,
nevertheless, rapidly diffusible and
will escape through the smallest
cracks.
The temperature at the time of
fumigation is very important item,
and on it, much of the success or
failure depends. Experiments by
Kinds and Turner in Alabama show
ed that fumigation with carbon BIZ
sulphide at a temperature of less
than 65 degrees F. was seldom sue
cessful. Their experiments, conduct
ed in perfectly air-tight box, show
ed that 71A pounds, evaporated in
1000 cubic feet of space, and con-
fined for "a hours, would kill 100
per cent of the weevils at a temper
ature of 60 degrees F., but at a tenn
perature of less than SO degrees only
about 80 to 85 per cent of the wee
vii stages were killed. At a temper
ature of 70 degrees, or higher, it was
found that pounds of carbon bisul-
phide to 1000 cubic feet, for about
20 hours, was effective in an excep-
tionally tight compartment.
