but the greater number transform in the
following spring.
Remedy: Carbon bisulphide remedy is
sure death for them, and they should be
treated the same as for the grain weevil
Millions of dollars are lost every year
by the farmers from not taking the neces-
sadly precautions in time to check the
grain, pea weevil and many other spe-
cies of weevils. Get busy and watch your
grain which you are now harvesting or
will harvest in the next month; don't let
the weevils eat it up for you.
BUYING CLOVER SEED FOR FALL
Due to the high price of all clover seed
at the present time for fall planting. it
siderable attention to the quality and vi
tality of all clover seed they buy.
A great many northern seed houses Of
fer five or six different grades of clover
seed. For instance, they will offer Grim
SON clover seed at reduced price. and
the farmer Immediately buys, thinking
that he is buying good, dependable seed,
but as a matter of course, he will re-
ceive seed with a purity test far under
the average and termination test far
below 80 per cent
The results obtained from low grade
seed are very discouraging. and the farm
ers will find that high grade seed will
always warrant the price paid, even
though it be only a few cents a bushel
more
The best advice we could possibly give
to the farmers is that every one should
demand the purity and termination test
of all clover seed they buy, and the
most reputable seed houses will always
be glad to give you this information and
will return you your money or supply
you with other seed if they don't meet
the right kind of requirements.

THE GRAIN WEEVIL.

The granary weevil is also known as
the black weevil. This species is a black,
dark reddish or brownish snout-beetle
which deposits it's eggs singly upon grain.
The larvae feed upon the substance of
such grains as barley, corn. wheat, oats,
etc.
Remedy: Carbon bisulphide is the only
practical remedy for destroying this pest
When there are indications of grain wee
wills appearing, the grain should all be
placed In barrels Take one ounce of
carbon bisulphide and pour into sau-
Ger and place on top Of the grain. The
barrels should then be covered imme-
diately with grain sacks to prevent the
escape of the heavy poisonous fumes,
which penetrate the mass. The fumes
of carbon bisulphide are much heavier
than air and with this characteristic it
has tendency to penetrate clear through
the grain to the bottom of he barrel.
THE PEA WEEvIL
The adult is rusty, blackish colored
beetle with white markings on the wing
covers and with white spot on the
hinder part of the thorax. In habits and
life history this insect closely resembles
the bean weeyil. (The bean weeyil and
its remedy will appear in next week s
edition.
The beetles appear when the peas are
in blossom, the females depositing their
eggs on the young pods as soon as they
begin to form. The y'ubs, which soon
hatch. are of deep yellow color with
black heads. They burrow into the pods
and enter the growing peas
When full grown the grubs eat cir

REPORT INSECTS

The desirability of referring immedi-
ately to federal or state entomologists
of any strange insect which seriously at
tacks crops. is emphasized, in the opin-
ion of entomologists of the United States
department Of agriculture by the almost
complete loss Of the rice crop from 1000
acres in Matagorda county Texas
through the combined ravages of a hith-
erto unknown rice weevil and a wire
worm.
The occurrence Of the pests in this re-
gion was brought to the attention of en-
tomologists only recently but it is be-
lieved that depredations have been going
on for about three years, spreading from
a small center. If the problem had been
attacked when the pests first appeared.
the losses Of the present season probably
would have been greatly reduced. ento-
mologists say.
Studies of the weevil and worm now
are begging made by field agents of the
bureau of entomology and efforts will be
made to perfect methods of combating
the pest before next season.
The bureau of entomology urges all
persons who observe damage to crops by
insects to communicate with it. sending
sa implies Of the pests if possible.

1t is very nice thing. while the

POULTRY MANURE

Are you using to an advantage the fer
tilizer from your poultry houses? If not
you are losing the value of one of the
very best animal fertilizers. Poultry
manure when well decomposed, is good
for any kind OF vegetable crop. Ordi-
narily, 1t is best to apply the fertilizer in
the furrow and bed onto it. It is in
especially good repute for tho produc-
ton Of strawberries. When used for this
purpose. put the fertilizer out in August
or September, bed onto 1t and put out
your fall planting OF straw berries and
the roots will penetrate to get the full
benefit OF 1t by early spring.
