Wheat growers in this country not

culture.

stead of normal wheat grains only

materials produced by the living plant
for the purpose of building up sound
wheat grains have been consumed by
the parasite in forming its masses of
smut spores which finally occupy the
exact position in the wheat heads that

but millions Of spores inclosed in each

USE OF CARBON BIsvLpHIoE
Affords Rather Cheap and Simple
Treatment for Eradieatins Grain
Moths and Weevjls.

(By T. J. TALBERT. Missouri College of
A stitch In time saves nine, but even
the time may not remedy the damage
one would have prevented. Usually
late threshing has left tbs grain in
the stack or shock exposed to the
attacks Of the grain moth and the
weevil this year. Fortunately, a rath-
er simple, cheap treatment with car
bon bisulphide will destroy all the
weevils and moths that infest stored
grains. This liquid looks very much
like water but when poured On rags
or into shallow pans on the top Of
grain, rapidly forms 4 gas 30 much
heavier than air that 1t goes down
among the kernels, destroying all
weevils and moths.
The temperature, size, shape, and
tightness of bins or granaries are i'm
portant factors. 1t is not worth
while to fumigate when the tempera-
ture Is below 60 degrees F. More
bisulphide is required and even then
unsatisfactory results are obtained.
One pound OF liquid for every 30
bushels of grain will be enough If the
bin is tight and the temperature
above 20 degrees. Another pound
should be used for every 200 cubic
feet Of space above the grain in the
bin.
The liquid may be thrown directly
on the grain without injury. bat bet
ter results will be secured by pour
ing 1t into shallow pans, scattered
over the surface, or II these are not
available, It may be poured upon old
rags or cotton waste. One-half pound
or at most not more than q pound,
should be poured into each pan The
liquid may be poured down through
q gas pipe in order to get it near the
center and bottom of very large bins.
Plug one end of the pipe with cotton
or Old rags, push 1t down through the
grain and then remove the plug by
a rod down through the pipe.
The granary or bins should be
kept closed as tightly as possible for
36 hours, and if the seed Is not to be
sowed, for 48 hours. The grain will
be just as good for feed after treat
ment as before, but if it is to be
sowed. care should be taken not to
use too much bisulphide or to fumi-
gate too long. 1t is often convenient
to apply the liquid Saturday afternoon
and fumigate until the next Monday
morning.
The gas is very explosive and no
lighted cigars, pipes, lanterns, or
matches should be allowed in or near
the building until it has been thor
oughly aired. The work should always
be done in the daytime. Cost may
be kept down by securing commercial
bisulphide instead of the more expen-
sive chemically pure liquid, often kept
by drug stores. Storekeepers will
doubtless to glad to order the more
economical form il it is not already
