Weexifs In Corn. "'~
Mr.. C. H. Smith, carrier on York No.
4, reports that his ear corn is badly In
facted with black weevils. He made
the discovery Wednesday while shred
ding. and brought some specimens Of
the corn to The Yorkville Enquirer Of
flee, shucked and slip -shucked. In the
ip-shucked specimens there were a
number Of weevils between the shuck
and grain. Many grains in the ear had
been punctured; but the puncturing
seems to have been done from the out
side for when apparently sound grains
were cut open with a knife weevils,
were found inside. The conc'usi
seems to be that they make their holes
as they come out. Mr.. Smith says that
he has seen the black. weevil in old
corn; but this is the first time he has
run across it in new corn. He says that
his nelghbors are having the same ex-
perience. He is sending some of the
corn to Prof Conrad at Clemson, in
the hope of getting light as to possible
means Of DISCRIMINATING the weevil.
