How to Fight Corn Weeviis.

Just at this season of the year any
article telling how best to preserve corn,
and especially how to fight the corn
weevil, would be timely in print, and for
that reason clipping from an exhaus-
tive paper on the subject given in last
Sundays Memphis Commercial Appeal
is reproduced below:
"The weevil is the worst pest that
affects seed corn in the South. When
the corn is first gathered, put it in a
tight box, bin or Darrell. Paste paper
or cloth over every crack and knot hole.
Select a warm day for Immigration. 1t is
no use at all to fumigate when the tenn
perature is go degrees or below. For
every thousand cubic feet of space in
the box, bin or barrel or room in which
the seed corn is fumigated, use three
pounds of carbon bisulphide. This is
commonly called "high life." It is sold
by most druggists, and is put up in one
pound, five-pound and 25-pound pack
ages.
"Pour the carbon bisulphide directly
on the corn. 1t will not hurt the corn
either for feed or for seed. Where corn
for market is kept in large quantities,
dig deep holes down between the ears
every three or four feet and pour high
life into the hole, putting sufficient
quantity into each hole so that the total
amount used in the bin or room will
equal three pounds for every thousand
cubic feet of space. This space must be
computed for the entire receptacle which
holds the corn and not just for the space
occupied by the corn. Ii the bin is hall
full of corn, the amount of high life to
be used must be sufficient to fumigate
all the space in the bin. Keep the box
bin or room being fumigated sealed
tightly for at least twenty-four hours;
three days is better. Then open up te
the air. Keep fire, lights, Lighted
cigars and pipes long distance away
from the carbon bisulphide, as the
fumes of this chemical when freshly
mixed with air are highly explosive.
"Should there be any indication o
weevil after the first fumigation, give ;
second fumigation two to three week
later. Treat the corn in the fall ant
again in March or April"
