This Ordinary

Atlanta, Ga-Georgia farmers, and
especially those who have devoted
more acreage to corn this year, Will
learn with interest that the State
Board of Entomology has a simple and
effective process for destroying the
corn weevil, a pest which has done a
good deal of damage to corn crops In
this section.
The corn or rice weevil, State Ento-
mologist E. Lee Worsham points out,
has been one of the great drawbacks
to growing corn in Georgia. Some
times they eat up the corn in the crib
before the mules, hogs and chickens
get a chance at it. The corn weevil
multiplies very rapidly if given the op-
portunity.
The effective remedy, declares the
State Board, is the simple process OF
fumigation with carbon bisulphide, a
volatile liquid obtainable at any drug
store.
The time to do this fumigating is
Immediately after the corn is gathered.
II is best to have corn crib with
bottom and sides alright or nearly So.
The LIQUID carbon disulphide should be
placed in large, shallow pans, and
from Is to 20 pounds OF the liquid
should be used for each 1000 cubic
feet of space in the corn crib. The
pans containing the liquid should be

USE CARBON BISULPHIDE
Drug Will Do The Work, Says The
Department OF Entomology.

placed on top of the corn. The
liquid evaporates very rapidly, and the
gas which is heavy and penetrating
sinks and spreads through the corn
crib. 1t is a good plan to cover the
top of the corn with old sacks or bur-
lap and leave it covered from "a to 48
hours while fumigation is in process.
1t may be necessary to repeat this
fumigation in three or four weeks.
There is a double reason for kill
ing the weevils in the corn cribs.
They not only feed on the grain in the
cribs in the winter and early spring,
but Just before the corn natures in the
fields the adult weevils leave the
nearby cribs and fly to the cornfields
where their eggs are deposited on the
ripening corn. Thus frequently when
the corn is gathered, large number
of the larvae-the weevil in its early
stage-are already in it.
Varieties of corn that are hard and
flinty, and that have the shuck extend
ing beyond the ear and closing tightly
over it, have a tendency to resist the
weevil. In planting corn farmers
should always have this in view and
make an effort to plant those varieties
which are resistant. Any further in.

His Strength Departs.
He was just the same sentinel, bris-
ting afront a tramp. He often joined
battle with the dog on duty at the sta
bles. But the fight in his mind was too
much for the fight in his body. He
lacked strength. / told Togo that
myself experienced the same disparity.
My pluck was as great as ever, but in

that, at our age, discretion was the bet

Annual Meeting of the
State Chamber Commerce

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 15.-The annual
meeting of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce will be held in Macon, Sep
TENDER 20. 1t is expected that there
will be large attendance both of the
members of the organization and those
patriotic citizens of GEORGIA who have
not yet joined but are in sympathy
with the work being done by the
State Chamber of Commerce. Every
citizen of Georgia who has the welfare
of the state at heart is urged to be
present. Special rates will be in effect
on all railroads on September %.
In addition to the reports of officers,
showing the financial condition and
the work done during the first year,
plans will be laid for the activities of
the second year. Though much has
been accomplished in the matters of
organizing local commercial bodies
and promoting cooperation within the
state, the work of greatest benefit to
Georgia has been that of preparing the
farmers for the advent of the cotton
boil weevil, which was begun last Fall
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-16

and the closely related campaign for
increased production of food-crops.
Because of the cotton emergency due
to the European war, the production o.
far greater quantities of food in 1915
than ever before is matter of vital
necessity. In cooperation with the
officers of the State and Federal De-
partments of Agriculture, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce has been work
ing through it's first year with the alb
ject of making Georgia independent.
The war emergency has simpy demon
strated most forcibly to the people of
Georgia the wisdom of this policy-ia
fact, the absolute necessity that it be
carried out at once.
All commercial organizations and
every county in Georgia should be rep
resented at the Macon meeting. The
work of organization each county TO
increase the production of foodstuffs
will be carried forward. Plans are now
being made to provide a ready cash
market in every town for the grain
and other food-crops of 1915, so that
the farmer will have spot cash mar
ket for foodstuffs as he has had hereto
fore for cotton.
