WATCH FOR GRAIN WEEVILS.
How tho Pests May Be Destroyed BY
Timely Treatment.
IPrepaTcd by ONO statIonI

prepared by ONO StdllCn.l
The Ohio experiment station has re-
ceived numerous inquiries concerning
the treatment fer weevil in stored
grain. The weather during the past
summer ana fall has been very damp,
making stored grain liable to be much
higher in moisture content than in nor
mai years. This damp condition Of the
wheat furnishes the proper condition
for the various kinds of grain weevil
to develop and breed rapidly. Grain
soon becomes almost alive with wee
wills. and unless they are destroyed
they will damage the grain seriously
In a short time. Weevils often de-
stroy Or render unfit for food from 2
to 20 per cent of the average Ohio
wheat crop. Treat your weevily grain
Immediately or cold weather may pre-
vent.
All Of the insects in stored grain
known as woevil are killed by a treat
ment of carbon bisulphide, provided
the bins are tight and the temperature
is at 60 TO 20 degrees f. or warmer.
Carbon bisulphide is used at the rate
OF FIVE to EIGHT pounds for each 1000
cubic feet of space in the grain bin
hence a bin - by u by Z feet will re

bisulphide if it is tight and the tenn

The gas is innammable; hence fire

Although there is no end of variety

important factor in its makeup. The

Electricity on Earma.

Rural distribution of electric current
has made great advances in the last
two yeas. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu,
tion systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing II
among themselves. In other commu-
mites individual farmers find il de.
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec.
tion and require yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.
