WEENt REMEDY
Found N LIME
Successful Use In Carolina Is Re-
peated Here

A very simple and promising treat
ment to prevent weeyil injury to, peas
beans cowPeas and possibly to. other
kinds of seeds has recently been dis
covered by z. P. Metcalf of the NortI,
Carolina Experiment Station, This
consists of applying air-slaked lime, to
the seeds, using one part by weight OF
lime to two parts of seeds whom plac
ing the crop in storage. For snail
quantities, say less than half peck
Professor Metcalf advises that -four
parts of lime should be used to one Fart
of seeds for quantities between a hall
peck and three bushels, use equal
amounts of lime and seeds. ~.
The quantity of seeds to be stored
thus influences the effectiveness OF the
treatment and necessitates greater pro.
pOrtioHs of lime for small quantities
In time this method may be found 40,
plicable to other kinds of seeds and
against other insects. II has the ad.
vantage of being harmless to seeds aud
to the operator, as well as being con.
venient to procure and relatively mex
pensive, q w ,fSfiS "
The U. $. Experiment Stations at Ho

its practicability under Hawaiian con,

other methods are much less practicable
or convenient. The attempt will also

smaller proportion of lime than wa,
used in the North Carolina experiments
