In my opinion weevil damage TO corn
could not be prevented by the method
you have suggested and am inclined to
think that you would suffer good deal
OF damage and loss from other insect
pests as well if you ground cob, corn
and shucks all together and attempted
to sack it and keep il for two years.
The best method to pursue with refer
ence 10 this matter would be to shuck
the corn. leaving il on the cob or strip
ping il therefrOm as you prefer. Place
lit in clean -rat-proof bin which is
comparatively tight and then treat it
several times during the year with car
bon bisulphide which will destroy the
Crainery weevil and any other insects
which may attempt to infest the corn.
Carbon bisulphide should be used at the
rate of one and half pounds per ton
'of grain. Place the carbon bisulphide
in shallow dishes on top Of the grain
bin and cover with a tarpaulin. though
ar old carpet will answer the purpose.
The carbon bisulphide. being heavier
than air, sinks down through the grain
and penetrates to every corner of the
box and will effectively destroy the
weevils. If the treatment is repeated
the corn can be kept free OF the pest
Carbon bisulphide will not burn the
hands or damage the clothing. 1t has
a very offensive odor and one should
not use II in the presence of light Do
not smoke when handling ii. AS a rule
il should be stored in an clubhouse. You
should be able TO secure it through your
local drug store.
SIIo TROUBLE EXPLAINED.
NJ n. s., Woodstock. Va. writes: Sew
enty-five per cent Of the silo owners in
this section had trouble with their silage
the past season. We cut the corn in when
the ears had matured and the husk turned
brown but plenty Of sap in the stalk. There
were plenty Of ears but the cattle did not
seem 10 take on flesh as they did the pre-
vious year. but the worst trouble was the
green mold some farmers lost Silage
By the wagon load on this account Does
removing the corn have anything TO do
with the curing processs
The keeping of the silage i'm question
was probably affected to some extent by
the wet season. No doubt your CORES
pondent has observed that corn some
times rots much more one year than an
other. The rotting is particularly likely
to be most pronounced in a wet season.
Also the green mold about which he
complains develops frequently i'm wet
season when IL will be altogether absent
in a dry season. II is quite possible
that a part of the mold about which
complaint is made developed before the
corn was put in the silo. When this
condition arises cattle eating the fodder
or silage made therefrom are not likely
to thrive and prosper.
Seasonal conditions were therefore. in
our judgment, partly responsible for
the trouble experienced. In a wet sea-
son the same degree of maturity would
probably not be obtained as in dry
season. though the stalks and the ears
may contain plenty of sap when put
into the silo. 1t is well known that the
composition of wheat seems to be af-
fected considerably by seasonal condi-
tions. and it is quite likely that the
same would be true of corn. 1t is prob

the erection of new hail.
