KEEP SEED FROM wEEvILs.

Farmers who have saved seed sub
ject to weevil attacks should be sure
to keep them free from these pests.
To control these, Professor Geo. g.
Becker of the University of Arkansas
recommends the use OF one part by
weight of air shaked lime to two
parts by weight of the grain or seed.
The seed must be kept in the lime
from the time it is stored until ready
to plant.
Carbon suIphide.-Those who pre-
fer to do so may use carbon msulphide
instead of the air sla.ked lime. To use
the carbon bisulphide. fill AN air tight
barrel ESQ gallons capacity to within
grain to be treated. Then pour over
the top of the grain about on,e-half cup
of carbon bisulphide and cover at
once with heavy canvas to hold the
fumes in place. Allow tine cover to
remain on for about "a hours. then re-
move. Where only small quantities
of seed are to be treated, use one tea
spoonful to each gallon of grain or
one-fourth teaspoonful to$each quart
of grain. All fumigation should be
done when the temperature is about
| 20 degrees r The fumes of the solu-
tion are very inflammable, so do not
have fire. such as lighted lamp. Ian
tern. a pipe, ETC.. around.
