METHOD OF FUMI-
eating PEAS, BEANS

Stored grains of all kinds are at
tackled by numerous insect pests, and
just at this time when it is imperative
to conserve to the utmost the reserve
food supply of the nation, it is especi-
ally important to prevent the work of
these pests.
Fumigation with carbon bisulphide is
the most important treatment of
grains, according to F. H. Lathrop,
assistant entomologist. To be effec-
tive, the bin must be as nearly air
tight as possible. The carbon bisul.
phide may be obtained in liquid form
from the local druggist, and should be
applied at the rate of four pounds to
every 1000 cubic feet of space to be
fumigated. The material should be
placed in shallow pans on top Of the
grain, and the bin Immediately closed.
The liquid will evaporate, forming
gas heavier than air. which will pass
downward through the grain. The bin
should be allowed to remain closed for
at least "a hours. The effect of the
gas varies with the temperature. and
at temperature of 60 degrees or less
the treatment is ineffective and should
not be attempted.
Carbon bisulphide is highly infiam-
mable and lights and fame of all kinds
must be kept away from it.
This treatment is effective for dried
fruits as we'll as for seed of all kinds.
1t does not affect the termination Of
seeds or the food value Of the product
fumigated.
More detailed information regarding
these pests and their control may be
obtained from the department Of En-
tomology, Oregon Agricultural College.
