Advises Farmers : To Get In Corn I Weevil Damage Likely To Be Less If Corn Is Harves ted Early, Says County Agent Knowles Reports from a large number of farmers indicate tremendous losses from stored grain insects e^ch year. This is especially true ofi the rice weevil which destroy seiveral thousand bushels of corn right here in Brunswick County every year. Farmers are being advised by County Agent A. S. Knowles to use control measures against the weevil in corn as this is the num- , btr one enemy of stored grain. A; recent survey shows less wee- 1 Vils in corn now in the field than usual. Weevils usually start infestation before the corn is har- ! vested. Since this is true. County! Agent Knowles recommends that j farmers harvest their corn just | as soon as possible. ? "Because the corn is put in the | Crib", says the county agent, "all j of last year's crop should be tTeated to kill weevils, and the ! crib sprayed with two and one J half percent DDT spray mixture prepared by using one pound of fifty percent wettable DDT pow <fer to each two and one half gal- { Ions of water." This practice plus early harvest ing of this year's crop will save thousands of bushels of corn for hogs and other livestock. The Strong winds a few weeks ago blew down a lot of corn and re cent rains have caused quite a bit of damage. This is another rea- 1 son for getting the corn out of) the field early to avoid further damage, says Mr. Knowles. U. S.
