Destroy Corn Weevil
or Lose Corn Crop.
After harvesting corn the farm
er has still another battle to fight
before he can enjoy the fruits of
his labor. 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.

Atlanta, <!a. —The arrangement with
the Southern Cattlemen's Association
and the Southern Swine Growers’ As
sociation to again stage the National
Hog and Cattle Show at the South
eastern Fair has resulted in the great
est demand for exhibit space in the
stock barns that the fair has ever
hnd.
The first show which was held last
year at tlie Atlanta Fair was a tre
mendous success, and drew entries
from all parts of the country. The in
terest which tlie great enterprise has
already drawn gives assurance of a
livestock sliow this year which has
never before been equaled. i
The accommodations which will be !
provided for this show will be such j
as to meet with the approval of the
exhibitors in every way. The mammoth j'
