USE OF CARBON BISULPHIDE
Affords Rather Cheap and Simple
Treatment for Graduating Grain
Moths and Weevils.

| (By T. J. TALBERT, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
A stitch in time saves nine, but even
the time may not remedy the damage
one would have prevented Usually
late threshing has left the grain in
the stack or shock exposed to the
attacks of the grain moth and the
weevil this year. Fortunately, 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 or
grain, rapidly forms q gas so 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 inn
portant factors. 1t is not worth
while % fumigate when the tempera-
ture is below so degrees F. More
bisulphide is required and even then
unsatisfactory results are obtained.
One pound of liquid for every 80
bushels of grain win be enough If the
bin is tight and the temperature
above 70 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, but bet
ter results will be secured by pour
ing it 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 a pound.
should be poured into each pan. The
liquid may be poured down through
a 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
pushing rod down through the pipe.
The granary or bins should be
kept closed as tightly as possible for
So hours. and if the seed is not to be
sowed. for 4S 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 OF near
the building until 1t has been thor.

be done in the daytime Cost may
be kept down by securing commercial

SCIENCE TO CONTROL THE EGG
WelLknown Theatrical MISSILE Can BE Regulated
From Debut to Old Age.

Eggs. those mysterious coop jewels within the
shells OF which lie secrets that stagger the brain
and threaten the proboscis, are practically ex-
posed in q paper sent out by the New YORK state
College of Agriculture at Cornell, says the New
York Herald The article shows how to color
the yolk regulate the odor. restrict the caliber
OF the albumen. Offset evil spirits and protect
the American breakfast table.
To begin with, hen should be fed just SO in
order to have eggs that are dependable and up
right hen which deliberately eats an onion
usually knows in her heart that some day in the
future there is to be ruined an omelet which
might have been equal to any omelet ever served.
Still, that hen will eat that onion With no more
thought, of the ultimate consumer than farmer
usually has. Hens are a mighty treacherous
flock OF cacklers at best. it seems. according to
the late bulletins from Cornell
On the other hand. a hen that has been shown
its place in the coop circle can be made to
lay eggs that are of certain color. size. odor
and condition of servitude. Green foods and yel.
low corn produce deep color in the yolk; white
corn, wheat and buckwheat produce pallid yolk

manned above suspicion in storage circles until
now. may have definite effect upon the future

more than touched upon. After an egg has arrived
on earth its treatment by those who can prove
their right to 1t will to great extent determine
what sort of an egg 1t will be and remain. Eyap
grafton of water through the pores OF an egg
shell should be prevented always. and a proper
temperature and degree of moisture should be
provided Rough handling is specifically warned
against. for after all. even an egg has some small
rights.
The best way to preserve the integrity of ar
egg. according to the yolumnous bulletin is By
lime water and salt solution and by water-glas:

RPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture4
Wheat growers in this country not
infreQuently experience serious losses
caused by preventable diseases. Wheat
is preyed upon by a number of para
site fungi. three of which are classed
as smuts. Two of these smuts are
common pests in the wheatfields of
North America, the other, commonly
known as flag smut. is thus far un.
known to this continent. though 1t is
fairly common in Australia and certain
other parts of the world where wheat
culture has been in progress for cen
turtles, says the department of agri-
culture
OF the two smuts. bunt or covered
smut OF wheat. sometimes referred to
as shrinking smut, is found wherever
wheat is grown, sometimes resulting
in losses to the farmers of the United
States of $20,000,000 or more annually.
Not infrequently fields planted to I'M
treated seed and giving promise of
yielding so to 40 bushels per acre Of
good wheat, will produce a crop of
covered smut amounting, in some
cases. to as much as 40 to so per cent
of the crop.
This smut disease is caused by a
parasitic fungus which attacks the
growing wheat plant before the first
leaf appears above ground. Once in
side the attacked seeding it continues
its growth and by the time the wheat
begins to head the diseased plants pro-
duce crop of smut. If we examine
the heads of such a plant we find in
stead OF normal wheat grains only a
lot OF smut balls. In other words, the
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
would have been filled by the kernels
had they been allowed to develop.
These smut balls consist of nothing
but millions of spores inclosed in each
case by thin enveloping membrane.
When the smut balls are crushed the
spores give of an odor not unlike that
of herring brine. The liberated
spores become attached to the seed,
which, il planted without previous
treatment, may produce another crop
of smutted wheat.
Treat Seed With FormaIin.
Blunt or covered smut of wheat is
one Of the most easily prevented of
any of the cereal diseases. The fol.
lowing procedure is recommended:

ly important that the water shall not
rise over iS5 degrees or fall below 1870

below this will not kill the smut, while
