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 slaked 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 Bisulph de.-Those who pre-
fer to do so may use carbon bisulphide
instead Of the air slaked lime. To use
the carbon bisulphide, fill an air tight
barrel $50 gallons capacity to within
about four inches of the top with the
grain to be treated. Then pour over
the top Of the grain about onehalf cup
of carbon bisulphide and cover at
once with heavy canvas to hold the
fumes in place. Allow the 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 F. The fumes of the solu-
ton are very innammable, SO do not
have fire, such as lighted lamp, Ian
tern, a pipe, etc, around.

prise to the friends of these young peo-
pie. The bride had spent considerable
time in Louisa with her relative, Mrs.
g. w. Hale, during the past year or
more, and it was not difficult to sur
mise that an attachment had been
formed which would lead to a happy
culmination. She is a very pretty and
bright young lady, and has gained
many warm friends amongst the young
people Of Louisa.
Mr.. Westlake has been a member Of
the Big Sandy News force for a num-
Der of years. and is now our linotype
operator. He is a young man of in
tegrity and industry and will prove
desirable companion for the worthy
girl whom he has won. Our best wish
es are extended to them.
