Protect Corn Against
WeeviIs, S12 To SIS
Will Repair Cribs
Carbon BisuIphide Is
Best Fumigont To
Use In Corn Cribs
by John Holditch. LADA Director

by John Holditch. LADA Director
Corn weeVils are worse this
year than ! have ever seen be-
fore. If preventive measures are
not taken most of the corn will
be completely destroyed by next
spring. Can you afford to lose
two or three hundred bushels of
corn to weevils this year? If you
can't and are willing to invest
twelve to fifteen dollars you can
save your corn. Mississippi is
losing five to ten million dollars
each year to corn weevils, and we
are not financially able to suffer
this great a loss year after year,
so beginning this year let's put a
stop to at least some of this dam
age.
Lining The Corn Crib
Proper lining to the crib is most
important for satisfactory results.
A much better job can be done if
the walls of the crib are smooth.
Line the floor and walls only. Ex-
tend the lining Of the walls ten
to twelve inches above the top of
the corn. Figure the square feet
of wall and floor space you have
in your crib and buy 15-pound
asphalt felt to line it. Line the
walls from the floor upward. Lin
ing the floor may be put off un-
til you finish the walls to avoid
wear and tear on the floor lining.
Let the bottom strip extend out
on the floor three or four inches.
Each strip should lap about three
inches on the on below. With
smooth walls, lap the lining about
eight inches at the corners. If
the crib has corner posts or studs,
lap the material two or three in
ches on the stud. Extend the lin
ing around the studs at the door.
If some of the lining is torn be
sure to patch it for it is essential
that the crib be air tight if prop
er results are to be expected.
Fumigate as soon as you put
the corn in the crib. Level the
corn and arrange for some kind
of cover to 60 over the corn after
you apply the fumigant. A tar
paulin one or two feet wider and
longer than the crib is a good
cover. Or you may use quilts and
blankets if you don't have any
thing else. Carbon bisulphide

Tchula seems to me to be just

do something in that community
they all pitch in and help and
everything always goes over with
a bang-and I believe the folks
in Tchula have lot of fun doing
it. They certainly give that inn
preston anyway.
I have been asked to issue
