Seed Fumigation Controls Weevils, Farm Agent Sayr Fumigation is one of the best methods of controlling weevil damage in seeds. County Agent L. C. Adams pointed out thi 0 week, advising Dade County oeople to protect seed beans corn, popcorn, field peas and similar items from weevil dam¬ age. “This can be done easily by fumigating with carbon disul¬ phide,” Mr. Adams said. “Various quantities of seed can be placed in suitable containers such as glass jars, tin cans or buckets and then placed in a larger con¬ tainer such as a barrel or oil drum and fumigated.” The Extension Service agent recommended the following steps in carrying out the fumigation treatment: 1. Place the containers hold¬ ing the seed in the tight re¬ ntable with the taps so they can be well exposed to the gas. 2. Place a plate or other shal¬ low container above the seed and pour the liquid carbon di¬ sulphide into the container. Use about one teaspoonful for each two gallons of seed. The a- "erial is inflammable. 3. Cover the container tight- ’y with paper and heavy sacks or canvas on top of the paper. 4. After 24 hours remove cov- m and leave containers open to air out. The material will be safe from fire when all odors have disappeared. 5. After seeds have aired thoroughly, cover and store in suitable places. The use of car¬ bon disulphide on seeds is not harmful to them for table use. Further information on this and other methods of treating seeds for weevils are given in the October garden map. Copies of this Extension Service map may be secured from the county agricultural agent’s office. Cpl. Lla C. Lawson Cole Is Promoted ELLINGTON FIELD, Texas, Oct. 11—Cpl. Lla C.

Mr. Dyer said he had no in¬ formation about when Dade Countians might have a chance to observe a “Victory Over In¬ flation” week. “Every house wife, business¬ man, farmer and laborer must realize his or her personal stake in preventing an inflationary spiral, and this is a grand way of doing it,” he said.

The proposed water system for Trenton seems to be getting plenty of comment and that is about all. While everyone, it seems, is in favor of a new water system, but as far for the actual “signing up” process, it is mov¬ ing along very slowly. Now is the time for all who want this new water system to let it be known by signing up. Everyone, we believe, in Dade County is anxious for Dade County to grow. We believe they want new enterprises in the county, and in order to get this we must have the necessary utilities to bring new businesses to this county, and of course an adequate water supply plays a big part in inducing them to build in Dade County.
