PAGE TWO MUCH DAMAGE TO CORN FROM WEEVIL Considerable damage has been done by the corn weev'l this fail and unless immediate steps are tak en to control this pest, a gieat deal of corn will be destroyed, says W. E. Broach, field agent in agricul tural engineer ’.g of the State Col lege <f Agricultu •<?. Carbon dis ulphide, he states, will stop the de pr< dations of the insect , but quick v.'ork will be necessary. “Tiie corn should be placed in a crib which is as near gr.s tight a.- it can be made, cont naes Prof, broach, and shallow nans containing a small amount of carbon disulphide set about six feet apart over the grain. Or, good result! may be ob tained by sprinkling the chemical uniformly over the cor". The corn is not damaged in any way either for animal or human consumptio nor for seed, but the fumes ar ■ poisonous and must not be inhaled. Extreme cere shculd be taken to keep the building closed at long as any odor can be detected, as the gas’is highly inflammable and will ignite from a pipe or cig arette. “The first treatment should co made immediately after the corn is gathered, and the next tv.o or three weeks later. “Carbon disuphide may be se cured at any drug stop ■ at a cos' of twenty to twenty-five cents per pound. It is the cheapest and most effective control for corn weevils known.” Rylander Theatre FAIR WEEK SPECIAL PROGRAM THE MIRACLE MAN EVERY NIGHT Last Showing Tonight I IK ‘YESTERDAY’S ■1 WIFE’ (Ml A Pretty Love Story Os Divorcees!

This year for the third time, The Berkshire Evening Eagle, of Pitts field, 15 miles from New Ashford, went in the wee small hours to the doors of lonely farmhouss, high in the Berkshire hills, ver rough moun tain roads, ready with automobiles to carry the townspeople to the The World At Your Fingers Just consider fore moment—you can have the highest paid sing ers and performers entertain you without a SINGLE PENNY’S COST TO YOU!
