DAJIAGE REPORTED
FRO* C0R5 WEBTILS
Some Eastern Counties Are Suffering
From Weevils la Stored Cora.
Raleigh, Nov. 20. ? From Carteret
and other counties of eastern Car<>?.
llna come reports of damage from the
corn weevil. Franklin Sherman chief
In entomology for the State College
and Department of Agriculture ad
vises that many reports of damage
have been sent In this fall and that
during 1921 and 1922 he also receiv
ed rumerous complaints about the
damage done by these pests. Mr.
Sherman states that the corn weevil
i* not a new pest but has been pres
ent lor. "many years in the State.
"Allowing the corn to btand in the
field until winter, storing It In husks
which are not smooth and tight, in
barns and bins which are not tl?nt
and cannot be made tight, are all con
ditions that encourage severe weevil
damage." says Mr. Sherman.
He gives the following six sugres
tlonr for controlling the pests:
1 ? Harvest the corn as early as
practical and husk at time of ha-vest
lng.
2 ? Look at the corn as husked and
separate the badly infested from that
not visibly Injured. Divide the wag
on body into two compartments for
the two lots of corn.
3 ? Ears visibly Infested should be
given a quick knock or jar to rid them
of weevils and then put in their sepa
rate compartment.
4 ? The weevil enfested ears may be
stored in some convenient place and
should be ground, fed or otherwise
disposed of, first.
5 ? The ears free from weevils
should be given the best storage In
tight bins, boxes, barrels or other
places where they may be fumigated.
8 ? Fumigate soon alter storage for
when the need becomes evident, with
carbon-bisulphide.
Mr. Sherman states that 4 to 6
pounds of carbon-blsulphlde is enough
for each 1,000 cubic feet of space in
the bin or crib. Place the material
In one or more shallow pans on top
of the corn. This fumigation killa
the insects but not the eggs and oth
er treatment may be needed later to
kill he newly hatched weevils.

FARMERS WRITE FOB
S00 BULLETINS EACH DAY
Raleigh, Nov. 20. ? During October,
(|le Division of Publications of the
State College and Department of Ag
r {culture sent out a total of 7,762 bul
14|Jna from Its mailing room to farm
km. home makers and others Interest
id in farming within North Carolina.
(This is at the rate of nearly 300 bul
letins each working day of the month.
The outstanding thing about these
requests is that the Division now
maintains no mailing lists to which
bulletins are sent Indiscriminately as
formerly. For the past few years, the
bulletins have been sent only In res
ponse to individual requests and this
jpeans that the publications go only
to those people who feel a need for
information about a certain problem
and want this information badly
enough to write In to the College and
Department for it. This figure also
does not Include the monthly maga
zine of the extension division. Exten
sion Farm News, which is mailed to
over IS, 000 club leaders, farmers and
educators each month and which giv
es timely news and Information from
Xhe agricultural leaders of North Car
olina.
According to Assistant Editor A. O
Alford, who has charge of bulletin
distribution, the requests received
are about evenly divided between the
publications of the experiment sta
tion and ot the extension division.
There has been a great demand for
bulletins on judging livestock, since
October was the month of faips, but
information was also desired about
poultry, pruning, fertilizers, garden,
ing, foods, swine growing, boil weevil
and various other topics.
The Division of Publications wants
it made clear that the bulletins ot the
State College and Department are
free to residents of North Carolina and
it authories the FRANKLIN TIMES
to announce to Its readers that a list
of bulletins (Folder 4) will be sent to
any who may care to see what sub
jects are available. Then they choose
from that list any bulletins they need
as long as the supply lasts.
