The corn weevil can destroy his crop when in the crib as well as drought, cutworms, or smut can in the field. With the large corn crop grown in Georgia last year the Georgia farmer is taking more interest in control ing this evil. The Georgia Ex periment Station has of late re ceived a large number of inquir ies in regard to methods of con trolling the weevil. There are several insects which attacks corn in storage. All of these have small whitish larva that bore into the corn and cause the damage. The adut ils either a little moth, the so-called “fly weevil”, or a small beetle, the common weevil. The corn shuck, provided it fits closely around the ear and extends well out over it, will pro tect the corn from most weevils. Loose damaged or poorly develop ed shucks do not protect corn, but serve rather as a protection to the weevil. There appears to be a good opportunity for the corn breeder to develop a variety of corn with a well developed shuck that will protect the corn against the attacks of weevils. Corn with long tight shucks in good condition needs no treat ment in storage, as the shucks will keep the weevils out. Such ears may be stored by themselves without further care. The corn with loose or damaged shucks should either be fed at once or fumigated with carbon bisulphid. In order to fumigate with car bon bisulphide it is necessary to have the corn in an airtight con tainer. This may be a crib with tight walls and floor and close fitting doors and windows, a specially constructed box, water tight barrel, or even a tin pail, depending on the amount of corn to be fumigated. The essential thing is that it be as near tight" as possible. The container should not be much larger than is neces sary to hold the corn, as the amount of carbon bisulphid used is necessary to hold the corn, as the amount of carbon bisulphid used depends on the size of the container and not on the amount of corn or the number of weevils. Corn should always be shucked before fumigating, as the shuck will prevent the gas penetrating the corn. Carbon bisulphid is a heavy liquid which evaporates very rapidly and forms a very heavy gas. This gas will explode if a fire of any sort is brought near it. For this reason carbon bisulphid should never be used in a build ing where there is a fire. If the corn is in an air tight container three to five pounds of carbon disulphid per 1000 cubic feet of space is enough. This may be applied by making seve era! holes in the top of the pile of corn, pouring the carbon bi sulphid in, and then closing up the hole. The carbon bisulphid will not injure either the ger mination or the feeding value of the corn. Carbon bisulphid is not poison ous, but will produce a severe headache if too much of the gas is inhaled. R. P. Hied soe. Agronomist.
