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.”

NEW ASKFORD, M i , Nov. 4.
(By NEA Service.) —Within a
few minutes after six o'c ock the
complete‘vote of this town was
cast. Through its early vote New
Ashford has come to be known as
the “political barometer of the
country,” even though it always
goes Republican.
It was the first town in the past
two presidential elections to flash
its vote to the waiting world. With
out telephone, telegraph, postoffice,
railroad or trolley, this second
smallest town in Massachusetts hvs
given the news to California long
before its voters were wide awak ■.
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

polling place in time for the open
ing hour of 6 a. m. Previous ar
rangements and a willing spirit on
the part of the voters, made the
plan a greater success than ever.
This year .there were only 30 reg
istered voters; four years ago there
were 36.
The selectmen in this tiny tivvn
are Bernard Mackey, Elmer Beach
and Harry Phelps. The town clerk
is Warren Baxter. The oldest vot
er is Walter Smith, 76,, who in
1916 could “see no good” in getting
out at 6 a. m to vote, and so held
up getting the complete return un
til 10 o’clock. Last election he was
at the polls 10 minutes before the
opening hour. The youngest voter
is the school teacher, Miss Beatrice
Nichols.
The town has “gone Republican”
for 20 years and the result of the
present election shows that it still
sticks to its colors.
