CORN WEEvIL MENACE
TO GRAIN SHIPPERS
Can Use Only Precautionary
Measures in Elevators.
Aim Should Be to Destroy Insects Be.
fore Grain Is Shipped-Estimated
Loss of 10 Per Cent In
- Southern States.
prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)

+, prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The grain shipper in the Southern
states has to contend with one prob
lem peculiar to that region which is be-
yond his control. Yet he can Indirect
Iy exert an influence toward its eradi-
cation. Tiie problem is weevils in corn.
, While the matter rests primarily with
the farmer, and while he is a heavier
loser than the shipper, the business Of
the latter is handicapped.
Against the increase Of live weeyilS
in corn the shipper can use only pre-
cautionary measures while the grain is
in his elevator or in transit after ship
ment. The aim should be to destroy
them before the grain is shipped.
When this is not done the weevils may
increase enormously in hot weather,
should the car be delayed in transit or
not be unloaded promptly on its ar
rival at the terminal market.
If the grain, when inspected at the
terminal market, is found to be "in-
tested with live weevils, or other in
sects Injurious to stored grain" it will
be graded sample grade under the ap-
plication of the federal grades. Corn
shipped as No. 8, for instance, might
easily fall to sample grade because Of
its being infested with live weevils.
A point that the grain shipper must
consider is that the corn may go. into
storage on it's arrival at terminal
market. No terminal elevator com.
pany will put corn containing live
weevils into it's bins unless intending
to treat the grain at once in order to
kill the weevils. =
While the grain dealer can destroy
the weevils in his elevator CT ware
house, this does not affect the source
Of supply which is on the farm.
It has been estimated that weevils
cause an average annual loss Of 10 per
cent of the corn crop in the Southern
states. This loss can be prevented.
The control of weevils, it Is said, is
simple. 1t is discussed at length in
Farmers Bulletin No. 1929 of the Uni.
ted States department of agriculture.
Every grain dealer should send for a
copy.
1t is obvious that the grain dealers
interests are identical with the farm.
er's in the matter of the eradication OF
the weevil. Therefore, the grain
dealer should join the farmer in
fight against the pest.

OLD KING SOLOMON
WAS A WISE OLD BIRn
Knew How to Save His Shekes By
Putting Them Into 6 fest Invest
ments Bankers Could Find.

Old King Solomon was wise bird.
He distributed lot oi mighty good
advice.
But he is dead. .. ..t
You are alive. You VII have to
make: your own decisions and deter
mine your own course OF action and
your. own future. 1t will not do you a
BIT Of good to try to communicate
problems for you.
II you got his ear, you probably
would not &c his advice.
You Will nave to acquire your wis
dom as Sol acquired his by gaining
broad viewpoint and taking advant-
age Of your own experience and that
OF others. Solomon was a mason be-
fore he was king and miner as
well, SO his viewpoint probably would
not be much different from that of
wise workers Of the present day.
You may be sure that the high cost
OF living was a problem in Solomon'ss
day as we'll as in 1919 and that the
purchasing power Of shel1el, minted
from the gold Of Ophir, fuctuated just
as does the dollar minted at PhiladeS
phia
But Solomon knew that thrift and
saving, the stimulation Of production
and the elimination Of waste would
solve those problems just as the wise
working man knows it today. He laid
up lot Of coin through safe and con-
seryat;ve investment just as wise
men and women have put money for
the future in Liberty Bonds. Treasury
Savings Certificates and War Savings
Stamps. Also there is no record that
anyone ever took any OF that coin
away from Old Sol by inducing him tc
speculate in wild cat stocks.
He left c2e bit Of advice, the wis
dom Of which the years have not
changed. He said: "A good man
leayeth an inheritance to his child
ren's children"
You can follow that advice by
steady consistent saving and invest
laent in War Saving Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates and in
Liberty Bonds at present prices.
These securities bought now will be
an inheritance for your children's
children.
Sol had to get wise.
You can get wise just as he did. II
you fail to save you will repent
Though many years.
