Keep the Weevils
Out of Your Coro
Now is the time of all times
to stop all waste and put into
practice every possible economy
measure. One of these that de
mands immediate attention is to
prevent the destruction of our
stored grain, particularly corn,
by weevils. Undoubtedly we
suffer annual losses from this
pest that in the aggregate
amount to millions of dollars.
This loss may very largely be pre
vented by using carbon bisulph
ide, which may be obtained at
most drug stores.
Roughly, from ten to twenty
five pounds of carbon bisulphide
is required for each one thousand
cubic feet of space in the crib,
the exact quantity being* determ
ined by the tightness of the crib.
If this be very open probably
twenty-five pounds for each
thousand cubic will be none too
much, while if it be ceiled and
very tight, ten pounds will prob
ably be sufficient. Of course, for
cribs containing less than one
thousand cubic feet the dosage
should be reduced in proportion.
As to the best way to use car
bon bisulphide, Dr. W. E. Hinds,
of the Alabama Experiment
Station, says:
"In making the application,
level off the surface of the corn
and prepare small holes about
THE DANBURY REPORTER
one foot deep by pulling out the
ears at intervals of three to four
feet apart each way. Divide the
liquid to be applied among these
holes. Begin at the side farthest
from and work toward the door.
Pour the liquid directly onto the
corn—it will not hurt it either
for feed or for seed—and fill in
the holes immediately with corn
to confine the fumes as much as
possible. Close the door tightly
and quickly paste paper over the
cracks around it. Leave the
room closed at least twenty-four
hours and no harm will be done
if left indefinitely. Fumigation
is much more effective during
warm weather, partly because of
more rapid evaporation and part
ly because insects are then more
active and therefore more sus
ceptible to it Never attempt to
use carbon bisulphide when the
temperature is below sixty de
grees. It is better to start the
treatment at 10:30 a. m., rather
than at night, both on account of
having light and also higher
temperature. A second and
stronger treatment should be
given it after a week or two if it
j should appear that the first was
|n o t satisfactorily effective.
Ordinarily, one treatment in the
fall and Dossibly another in
March or April will be sufficient
to protect the corn. Prompt and
thorough treatment is most
profitable."
Improving the Country.
The country needs to be im
proved. . . . Better farming
—bigger crops and better prices
will do something. Better
houses and household equipment
will do more. Better neighbor
hood equipment for recreation
and wholesome social intercourse
will do still more. There must
be improvement all along the!
line. This is the rural improve-j
ment which I would preach.
At the same time I would point
out that any improvement of this
sort can best begin on its physical
side. The concrete problems of
physical property are easier to
grasp; and if it is true, as it
partly is, that a man must have
a scund body in order to support
a vigorous mind and healthy
conscience, it is more truly true
that a community must be clean
and orderly physicially in order
to be clean and orderly socially
and morally. One of the strong
est elements in general agricul
tural improvement is to be found
in the contribution offered by
civic art—the art which builds 3
sound ph.vsicial frame for the
support of a healthy community
