II is necessary to transplant toma-

1t lis much better to transplant

setting them from four to six inches
apart, and transplanting from there
to the field when large enough. This
makes both roots and tops stronger
and more stocky.

PROTECT GRAIN FROM wEEviL.

PROTECT GRAIN FROM WEEViL. By Geo. G. Becker. State Entomolo
 gist, University of Arkansas.
 All the peas and beans which Ark ansas may raise may be rendered useless for food, and all of the corn raised either for stock or human con sumption might deteriorate in value at the rate of three cents per bushel per month for every month that it is in storage after the first of Noyem- : ber, unless Arkansas farmers take steps to prevent the ravages of va rious grain weevil These losses can be prevented by the use of lime and by proper methods of storage.
 Lime Dust Method.
 In the case of peas and beans, the work of weevils can be readily kept in check by storing them away in lime dust For this purpose use air slacked lime dust This is commonly found as waste in many lumber yards. Mix the peas or beans together with the lime at the rate of one part, by WeISUl, UT lfIIlS uuol to eNC Ps'i e1, NY weight, of beans or peas. The peas or beans may then be stored away with the lime in sacks, barrels, boxes or other containers.
 Weevils in corn can be prevented by husking the corn in the field. Iii so doing you will leave most of the weevils in the field. Moreover, corn when stored with husks on will be subject to about four times the amount of damage done through wee wills than unhusked corn.
 In husking, have division in the wagon bed, on one side put all the badly infested ears, and the other put the sound ears. A box may be at tached to the back of the bed to re- ceive seeds ears. In storing, put all the sound ears in the back of the bin and those which are infested in front of the bin so that the latter will be used up first.
 In collecting for seeds ears, select ears with tight husks and well eov- cred tips. If this is borne in mind it will be possible in time to select strain of corn which will be practi- cally weeyil resistant.
