Controlling Weevil Damage in
Stored Wheat


G.. M, Soperton, Ca, writes:
L Just have my wheat threShed
and 1t has weevils in it. want
10 save my wheat, and if do
not do something it will be ruin
ed by the time to plant. Would
anything I do injure it for seed
or for flour? I will appreciate
Z your advice in this matter.
The weevils which are attacking
your wheat may be destroyed by
! the following procedure:
Put your wheat in box, barrel
or comparatively tight granary,
and then treat with carbon bisulfied.
use two pounds Of liquid to every
1,O00 feet of cubic space when the
temperature is around 70 degrees
tahrenheit. If you are attempting
TO destroy the weevils where the
grain is in a comparatively open
contalner, use six pounds to each
LOCO cubic feet of space to be treat
cd. Pour the solution into shallow
containers, and set on the grain and
then cover with sacks. Allow this
treatment to proceed overnight.
Then take the grain out and aerate
very thoroughly. 1t will be quite
good for human food, and the char
acreristic odor of the carbon bisul-
lid will soon disappear. Additional
treatments may be necessary from
time to time for two reasons: The
grain may become re-infested
thu cugh the presence of weevils in
the egg stage at the time the first
treatment is made, or the weevil may
gain direct access, to the containers.
Do not handle carbon bisulfid in
the presence of lights, as it is in
flanmable under such conditions. A
high-grade of this material will not
inrUre the clothing or the hands. II
Is an absolutely effective remedy
against the weevil when the treat
ment is properly carried out.
Applying Calcium Arsenate to
Cotton
c. H. S., Thomson, Ca, writes:
am using a Springfield hand
sun for putting calcium arsen-
ate on cotton. Should the arsen-
ate be put on heavy enough to
whiten the foliage or just walk
along and let the cloud of dust
settle on the foliage?
The type of gun about which you
inquire has proven quite satisfactory
for use in the manner you indicate.
There are numerous other types OF
machines on the market which are
equally as good. The hand machine
is only fairly satisfactory for busting
cotton. It's operation requires great
labor, and the work is tedious and
unsatisfactory. A machine of this
type can be used most effectively on
relatively small areas. It can also
be used in large fields where in
tested spots break out early to some
advantage. Calcium arsenate is put
on as dust spray, and that is one
reason why the hand machines are

This new discovery, which is called Alex
ander's Rid-O-Fly, is not a poison. Though
it kills flies like magic, farm animals a.
human beings are not affected by it at all,
In addition to killing these insects, Rid-O
Fly is a strong repellant. Flies will moi
come near stock or buildings where Rid-O
Fly has been used. Rid-O-Fly is particu-
larry valuable for cows and horses as 4 is
known fact flies do untold harm to these
animals.
So confident is DR.. Alexander that his dis.
covery will rid your house, barns and live
stock of these pests that he offers to send a
$500 supply for only S1.00 on the guarantee
that If Rid-0-Fiy does not solve your flv
problems it will cost you nothing Two big

Gently returned from an extensive

to take part In the work Of Amer

told OF the cruelties practiced upon
them by the Turks.

General Topakyan told OF the
heroism Of Armenian troops who
fought with the allies during the

When the Turk heard OF the
heroic deeds of the Armenians. he
became enraged, and in order to
strike blow for his ally. Germany,
he issued an order drafting $50, 900
