Fumigation Protects Stored Beans
and Pens,

Folks who have stored beans aud
peas for winter will need 10 protect
them from wcryils. Carbon hisul-
phidc will give that protection. l..
llascman. Of the University of Mis-.
souri,. College of Agriculture, gives
directions for the treatment.
When the seeds ARE ready for s,or-
age place the sacks or other contain
crs In a metal tank, chest or tight
box. which Is as free rs possible from
cracks along the sides and bottom.
Pour the carbon bisulphidc into shall
low dish, set the dish on the top of
the beans or peas In the box and
spread n canvas or other cover over
the top of the box. For box two
feet wide. two feet deep and three
feet long, use u tcacupful of carbon
bisulphidc. Use the same amount
whether the box is half full or entire
~ filled with beans and peas. Select
n warm day when the temperature IL
above 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In
twenty-four hours remove the cover
and allow the beans or peas TO air.
Then store them in an unheatcd room.
This will protect the beans or peas
throughout the winter. II the weevils
are present again in spring the fun
igation may be repeated.
Carbon bisulphide is q clear liquid
with a foul odor and like gasoline Il
evaporates quickly. Its fumes are
heavier than air SO they settle down
ward penetrating sacks Of beans,
grain or other food materials to be
treated. The fumes are quickly fatal
to weevils and other small insects, but
are not especially poisonous TO man.
Keep the carbon bisulphide away from
fir" ms II Is explosive. II too much
carbon bisulphide Is used II may af-
feet the termination of the seed, but
i does not In any way affect their
food value.
Small quantities Of beans and peas
may be treated with heat by placing
them in a slow oven for an hour or
two, bringing them to temperature
Of 100 to $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
without injuring their food value
though It may injure them for seed.
The bean and pea weevils deposit
their eggs in the developing pods in
the garden or field and the pest Is
brought into storage inside the dried
peas or beans, SO II Is necessary that
they be treated when first stored to
prevent further damage. Carbon
bisulphide may be used for destroying
all kinds Of stored grain insects, pests
of cereals, flour, meal, cothes moths
and other similar household pests
