From the Hartwell Sun we read that at a recent meeting of the Hart county Agricultural Society Capt. J. F. Craft moved—“ That we make extra exer tions to make our living at home," and supported his resolution in the following remarks, which we heartily endorse and commend to the readers of the Farmers Index : ‘•My opinion is that our Agricultu ral Society may be made a very great benefit to the farmers of Hart county ; and if we succeed in no other way we can accomplish great good by talking things over and inducing people to think for themselves. I think the distribution of seeds is a good thing. We get possession of valuable varieties, and by making careful tests we get paid for it. But the best thing we can do is to talk about the best manner of making a living at home; and if we do adopt a plan looking to that end, we will get people to thinking, and we will succeed. Hence my motion, that we resolve to make a living at home. How shall we do it? My notion is we risk too much on corn —that is we use •too much. We consume twice as much as is necessary. We must live on less. We do not need much corn except for the purpose of making bread. We must make arrangements to feed our stock on less corn—give them more oats and rely more on the pasture. You all know I was a stock law man. I will go this far and say that you will be obliged to adopt that law before you succeed as fanners. If we had rains without fail we could perhaps get along, but in these times of drouth you must rely more on pas tures. You raise a crop of corn, and you have great expense to gather it, ehuck it, and crib it, and the loss in it 'besides. Then you have to feed it to your horse. You can raise a crop of grass on your land, and your horse will gather it for himself and save you the expense of gathering it yourself. In the North they pasture their stock at night. They don’t feed on corn, but save it to sell to us. They save at least half the expense by letting their horses graze on the pastures. You ask, how will we'get pastures? You must make them—sow your patches in rye and barley. You must sow oats. Now if our farmers would all think, there would be as much rye and oats sowed as necessary. I purpose, as one of this Agricultural Society, to agitate this subject and get all to think. You take a field and sow it in oats and every one would take the crop from that field rather than the one in corn. Now where is the good sense in plant ing a field in corn when you know . that oats will make as much again and at half the expense ? There is no use *• for the farmer to be a speculator. This thing of speculative farming is all wrong. I have tried it, and have good reason—from experience—to believe that it will not do. I have been plant ing cotton and planting cotton, and I get less and less by it. I will cite you to the man who makes his corn and does not buy it, and he is getting along better and is making more clear money than the man who raises all cotton. Now if we will go on talking about this mat ter [and practice what you preach— Editor.] we will, as a Society, make an impression on the whole county. I move therefore that we try to make a living at home.” The resolution was unanimously .adopted, and we have only to remark is strange that farmers will talk so wisely and well, whenever they meet together in club rooms or elsewhere, and yet act so unwisely—so contrary to their repeatedly expressed convic tions. It is probable that the present crop of cotton will command a better price than for several years past, and, maybe bring more money—in the aggregate but not to the farmer. He owes too many guano bills, corn and bacon accounts and old balances, and cannot hold his cotton for the highest price. Moreover, the high price, if it prevails during the winter and spring, will strongly tempt him to venture another —just one more, big cotton crop. The only salvation for the farmer is in a wholly self-sustaining policy, ragard less of prices. That farmer is wise who pursues the even tenor of his way, planting his corn, oats, wheat,potatoes etc., raising hogs, producing milk and butter for home consumption and a little to sell, just as if the comfort and happiness of his family depended en tirely upon home-made supplies—re gardless of high prices of cotton or low prices of Western supplies. ♦ JI’jEE VILS— GRAIN-MOTHS {We are sure all the readers of The Index will join us in thanking Prof. Willet for the interesting and instruc tive article which follows. Very few farmers are at all familiar with the natural history of these destructive lit tle pests, and the article will repay careful and repeated reading. We hope some of our investigating young farmers will experiment, in the line in dicated, and discover some effective remedy for weevils. — Editor.] Editor Farmers’ Index : In reply to your request for “a short history of the habits of the several species THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1881. of insects that infest Indian corn, 'wheat and peas,’’ and a suggestion also of “the much needed remedy," I submit the fol lowing. I regret that I have not been able to give these insects, personally, very thorough study. INDIAN COBN. Two beetles and two moths are known to infest stored corn. ‘ The Bice-weevil or black weevil is a small beetle one-tenth of an inch long, slender snout, and is quite black, except a small red spot on the end of each wing cover. Prof. Townsend Glover, the Entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, spent the fall of 1854 in South Carolina and Southern Georgia. He found this weevil very abundant in November, in Georgia, burrowing under the husks of corn to deposit its eggs. The small grubs, hatched from these eggs, mine their way into the grain, and feed upon the interior. When they are ready to become pupa, they eat out towards the surface, until only a thin layer of the grain is left, which the weevil when mature can easily push away and make its escape. But the mischief does not stop here. The weevils, which escape thus in the spring, proceed to lay eggs on the grains of corn, and a new brood of worms and beetles is produced ; to be followed by a succession of broods throughout the summer. I recently counted 36 grains in one ear, either con taining weevils about toescape, or show ing holes from which others had escaped. Most of the escaped weevils were dead within the shuck. This corn was raised in Bibb county in 1880. In strong con trast with this was Western corn, hund reds of bushels, in a mill in the city showed no signs of weevils. Sylvanus quadricollia is a smaller cheat nut-colored flat beetle, without the lona snout of the rice-weevil I find it here in old flour, bran, rice-bran, and corn. Prof. Glover found them in corn taken from the field ia October. They lay thei' eggs near the heart or eye end of the grains, and the young grubs ea'ing int > the kernals devour first the germ and then the starchy matter. The kernels are thus separated from the cob, and will not germinate. As both larvae and perfect insects weie found inhabiting the same ear, it is probable that there is a succession of broods throughout the year. The European Grain-Moth is a small moth, four-tenths of an inch across the open wings. Its general color is white marbled' with brown spots. Glover found this in the fields in September. The caterpillars feed between the grains, making cavities on the surface, but not burrowing into the interior of the grains. In shelled corn or wheat, they cover themselves with the fragments, which they line with a silken web. In creasing in size, says Dr. Harris, “they fasten together several grains with their webs,” or wandering about, spinning as they go, “the whole surface of the grain will be covered with a thick crust of webs and of adhering grains.” Glover observed the first brood of moths early in September, and the perfect insects from their eggs in October, and thinks there may be several broods every year in our warm climate. Only two broods are recognized in the Northern States. lhe Angoumois Moth is somewhat larger than the preceding, with wings six tenths of an inch in expanse and yel lowish-gray in color. Glover observed them depositing their eggs on ears of corn in the field in November. Dr. ■Harris says, that this moth, in wheat, lays 60 to 70 eggs, and that the caterpil lars, which issue, scatter and each one selects a separate grain. Unlike the caterpillars of the European Grain-Moth, these mine into the interior of the grains, where they live and undergo their trans formations; and whence they issue as perfect ineects. There are several broods per annum. WHEAT. The Rice- Weevil and the Sylvanus at tack stored wheat, but it is not known that they enter it in the field. The Wheat- Weevil of Europe, however, is the most destructive weevil iu the Northern States. I have not seen it here. Dr. Harris describes it as a beetle, one-eighth of an inch long, with a slender snout, and of a pitch red color. Its habits are very much like those of the Angoumois Moth ; each grub entering a separate grain of wheat and devouring the inte rior, and several broods succeeding one another. Both grub and weevil feed on wheat. They are not said to enter wheat in the field. Both of the moths just described infect wheat. The European grain moth is the more common North. The Angoumois moth seems to have originated in the French Province, Angoumois, where about 1760, its ravages almost "produced a famine. It seems to have entered North Carolina first in the United States, from which it has been pretty generally disseminated. The accounts do not ren der it certain, whether it ever enters wheat in the field. field peas. I am not able to say whether the wee vils and moths, described before, attack field-peas or not, but they have a very destructive enemy in the pea-weevil. Prof. Riley minutely describes three weevils which infect English peas, and beans. I found recently, in store, some field-peas from East Tennessee, from which were issuing in great numbers, weevils resembling most our English pea “bug” or weevil. For convenience, I will call them Pea Weevils. The hab its of the three kinds are very much alike. At the flowering time of tne pea or bean, the female weevil deposits her eggs on the young pods of the peas or beans. The young grubs gnaw through the pods and enter the peas, where they burrow and feed until they c >me forth as beetles. In our English peas, a few may escape in the fall, but most come forth in the spring, about planting time. Those in the East Tennessee field-peas had evi dently been there ever since they enter ed last summer or fall. lam not able to say whether the weevils here and furth er South, escape earlier or not. The grubs in some tender peas here are near ly grown now, and even the green peas are not Very appetizing for table use. It must be remembered, that the pea weevil does not attack the dry pea, and hence one brood does all the damage. REMEDIES. The writer has no special remedy against these insects to offer. But a few suggestions may be in place. I know of no means to prevent the weevils and moths from laying their eggs on corn anb peas in the field. Too great care can not be used in cleaning all trash and refuse f’om cribs and granaries, be- fore housing the new crops. A good crop of hungry insects may hide in such litter. The joints of grain-bins can not be too tight, nor the lids be fit ed too closely. Corn and peas carry a brood of their enemies from the field. While these crops are in the husk, I know of no way of reaching these insects, while securely housed in the grains. When the mature weevils and moths have Come out of the corn in the spring, o renew their work, experiment may show them to be accessible to some destructive va pors, as of chloriform, bisulphide of car bon, or the tincture of insect powder, or pyrethrum. Prof. Glover found the first to kill weevils; my experiments show the insect powder to be equally fatal; and the bisulphide of carbon is the only poison that reaches the root-louse of the vine in France. The liquids may be conveyed to dilierent depths in the corn pile, through an iron tube driven down by a mallet. Any who try such experi ments, should know the properties of the liquids used. Trials may be made on a few bushels in a box, both in the fall and spring. Wheat, and shelled corn and peas may by kiln-dried late in the fall. Cylinders, like the rotary coffee and peanut roast ers, have long been used in France for this purpose, with wheat. The first brood in the grain is thus destroyed be fore much damage is done. The germi nating power of the grain is usually de stroyed. Dr. Harris prescribes a tem perature of 167 degrees of Fahrenheit’s thermometer to be continued twelve hours, but says that 104 degrees will an swer, when continued two days. This last may be attained by the sun’s heat, and several days of sunning, in the fall, may be found to destroy the young grubs: Horses, in all countries but America, know nothing of Indian corn, but are fed on hay, oats, lucern and other green for age. If our horses were fed on the same, we need protect less corn from the wee vils. Yours Truly, J. E. Willet. Macon, Georgia. ADVERTISEMENTS. WOMAN’S TRIUMPH! MRS. LYDIA E.
