HOW TO KILL LARVAE
 OF THE BEAN WEEVIL

Lest bean weevil, d serious pest in some localities fast year, damage dri- ed beans stored for fall and winter, one county horticultural agent sug gested fumigating with carbon bisul- phide.
 Use one ounce of carbon bisulphide to six bushels of beans" says the hor- ticulturalist That means about half an ounce to an ordinary barrel of beans. Two teaspoonfuls make half an ounce, slightly more may be used without harm. Place this in an earthenware dish and set it on top of the beans within the receptacle. Cover the con tainer so that it will be as nearly air tight as possible. Then leave it for 4 hours so that the fumes of the car bon bisulphide will kill the young grubs or beetle larvae in the beans. Keep in mind that this chemical is fully as explosive as gasoline and care must be used in handling it.
 The adult bean weevil often lays eggs on the beans while they are still on the vines. Then the grubs develop and hatch out during the fall and winter into small, brownish beetles about one eighth of an inch long.

GRADING VEGETABLES
 FOR THE MARKET

When vegetable growers grade the products for market closely, both con- sumerS and growers will come nearer being satisfied than ever before. Close grading pays in both the short and the long run for then only will buyers re- ceive a standard product and all de- serving producers a fair profit.
 Growers who have made efforts to grade their tomatoes, guaranteeing to the buyer that every tomatoe is per feet. They have. been getting as much as 40 per cent more than the average quotation for tomatoes. This stuff sells twice as quickly as the nondescript vegeta abIe, and the public is always req fly to pay a fair price for an article that they know by experience to have been carefully selected.
 Such grading demands a knowledge of what quality means, and it demands that the grower be honest to himself and the public. No grower who grades for market can afford to throw in produce that is at all off quality. While there are no clearly defined grades for most of our vegetables, they can be classified roughly into number ones, two's and culls. Figure out the prices you can get by selling number ones only, and then see if that won't be

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

mics of corn set aside for seed, as well as of corn fed to stock. When the ears are taken off the stalks about two weeks after the selection, husk them and string them up in a cool, dry place. They may be strung up by the husks themselves, tying them to geth- CT in punches. Another good way is to put the ears on sharp wires, a series of these attached to a vertical and stronger piece used as the trunk for the smaller wires. These smaller wires are made to point upward slightly. and then the ears are fastened on by pierc- ing the cobs.
 To prevent rats from entering your corn crib, one way used by many farmers is to invert a tin pan over the short post on which the crib is resting. When the rats climb up the post, the pan is so shaped as to pre- vent further climbing.
 If corn is to be husked in the field in order that the stalks may be saved for blowing under or when sweet corn is being gathered for market this apparatus will save time and

PLUCKlNG GEESE

Many breeders of geese in the south and some in the middle west and the north pluck the feathers from the live geese at some time prior to molting. Some pick every six weeks during the summer and early fall while others pick only twice a year, either in the spring or in both spring and fall Fea- thers are considered ripe for picking when the Quills are dry and do not contain blood. Both young and old geese are plucked. The average yearly production of feathers is about Il lbs. to the goose.
 The practice of plucking live geese, however, is considered by many breed CTS to be cruel and injurious. Geese should not be plucked during breed season. A stocking usually is placed over the head of the goose and part of the soft feathers on the breast, back and sides and abdomen are pulled. En- ough soft feathers to support the wings always should be left.

CULTIVATE POTATO FIELD
 BEFORE DIGGING TUBERS

By way of reminder for farmers about to dig potatoes a county agent suggests this:
 Before you start digging, go through with five tooth cultivator, or a two horse one, if you can. Go through each row twice, once up and once back. That will help get rid of the weeds break the witchgrass roots and make digging measurably easier.
 Heavy. vine growth may be deceiving this year in certain fields because the growers who generally use manure without any extra commercial fertili- ger with their potatoes will find a shorter crop than usual. This is sim ply because the dry weather has kept the fertilizing materials of the manure from becoming available. With quick ly available fertilizers yields will pro- bably be normal, all other things be- ing equal
