WEEWLS INJURE CORN
Loss In Gulf States Amounts to
100000 900 Annually.
Building for Storing Should Be Thor
oushIy Cleaned Before New Grain
Is Brought ln--FumIaation
10 Excellent.

1t has been estimated by competent
authorities that the annual loss caus.
ed by weevils in the gulf states to
stored corn alone amounts to 100000
900. Although corn 10 our principal
grain crop, the loss sustained by 9TH
er grains will undoubtedly amount to
several millions Of dollars annually
in these states.
Our winters are so mild that the
insects continue feeding all Of the
year and many species have several
more generations in this climate than
they have further north.
When possible grain should be
stored in a building by itself. Before
bringing In new grain this building
should be thoroughly cleaned out. All
old grain should be carried away and
the floors and walls carefully swept
off. In the south the corn a be al
lowed to dry thoroughly before being
brought In from the fields.
The crib must be made alright and
when the grain is brought from the
field 1t must be thoroughly fumigated
with carbon b~isulphide. 1t is a color
less liquid with a very strong. dis
agreeable odor, which soon disappears.
1t is the simplest. most efficient, and
most inexpensive remedy for all In
sects that affect stored grain and 9th.
er stored products. 1t is a deadly
poison and all Insect life will soon be
killed. 1t Is absolutely essential that
the room be alright. If you cannot
make your crib alright use a bin Of
some kind.
When 1t Is necessary to use an open
bin or barrel for this work the bot,
tom and sides should at least be air
tight. Then after placing the carbon.
bisulphide in shallow dishes or pans
on top of the grain, cover the bin or
barrel tightly with blankets or canvass
for at least thirty-six hours. Forty.
eight hours is better and the grain will
not be injured for either planting or
for use as food.
One pound of carbon bisulphide to
every 100 bushels of grain is sufficient
However, 1t Is better to use at least
two or three pounds Of the liquid to
every 100 bushels. II after the room
is opened 1t is found that the insects
not all been killed 1t will be well
to look carefully for any places where
the gas might have escaped.
Caution.-Carbon-b isulphide gas 70
inflammable and no form OF
fire should be brought near the place
being fumigated. With ordinary pro
caution there is nothing to be feared
the use of this substance.

SELECT COTTON SEED

Arkansas Planter Picks Out Biggest

and Allows No One to Touch
Them but Himself.

Up north the corn raisers are begin
ming TO select their seed ears In thu

weeks before planting time, and pick
ing out the best ears from what is lef
In the crib.
The man who raises cotton ought Il
do the same thing.

writes an Arkansas planter In the
Farm Progress. We get the latest
plants that mature, and then we won
der why the crop doesn't ripen earlier
For several years have been going
through the fields and picking out
the biggest, earliest, well-formed
stalks, and driving q stake down by
the side of them. allow no n to
pick from them but my self. 1t Is all
right to take the first bolls that ripen
and put them In with the rest as the
field is picked, but save the second
picking, or middle crop, and keep 1t
separate from the rest.
l dry It out carefully and gin 1t by
hand during winter. In this way ! am
sure OF getting seed that natures ear
ly, and that Is from the best cotton
on the place.
My cotton ripens about ten days to
two weeks earlier than most OF the
crop around here. The crop Is getting
better all the time, for the plants are
stronger and more vigorous than
those that are grown from seed Sc
lected haphazard out Of the late
ripening stalks.
/ take pains ia see that this hand
picked seed Ia stored In a dry place,
and one where 1t will not heat. 1t is a
simple method, and there is no ex-
pense about It. To select and prepare
seed in this way takes but a few
hours altogether.
If 1t is too much trouble, or II the
amount Of seed required is too great

plants that have short Joints, big

taken their best plants for seed, and
planted a special patch with them. IN
this way they have developed a spe'
cial variety all of their own in a couple
OF seasons. All of them report In
creased yield and earlier maturity.
When the work OF the boil weevil Is
taken into consideration 1t Is easy to
see that a field that ripsn early is
really worth much more than the n
