WEEYftS I(J PEAS AHP BEAN
Start Early to Destroy ThemThree
Methqds Explained
HE weevils that hreerf
warn- vie r 7 fc v
are confined m their1 choice of
food to the seeds of the -bean
an d pea family. Th ejmost of the we e-
yus oi inis group continue to breed
in the beans' or peas throuerhout the
year, although they are much more
destructive in the warm summer
months than at any -other season of
the yean A few weevils in a sack in
the spring will produce enough wee
vils to completely destroy the beans
or peas by fall, if they are left undis
turbed. flie earlier the bean or peas
are tr?ateq, tneretore, the better. .-,,.
The two best methods of treatinc
these seed is to store them in airr
slaked lime or to kill the weevils bv
means of heat. The first method has
the advantage that the beans or peas
need no further attention.. It has the
disadvantage that the lime may be
somewhat troublesome, especially if
the seed are used for food or feed
purposes. The treatment by heat has
the disadvantage that the beans or"
peas must be watched carefully and
ircaieu again 11 living weevus are dis
covered at any tim
Method No. 1. -Storing in Lime
TJftE fLpjoint pf lime necessary to
1 ujse with the first method, will vary
somewhat with the number of beans
or peas s,jtored in p'ne place? For very
small amounts of beans or peas, any
thing less than a gallon, use four
times as much air-slaked lime as you
have seed, mix thoroughly and store
H bags or boxes. For larger amounts
up to, say, two or three bushels, use
the same amount of air-saked lime as
you have beans or peas. For amounts
up to, say, twentyrfive bushels, use
one-half as much lime.' For larger
amounts than this, place the beans or
peas in a bin to a depth of not oyer
two or three feet, mix well a small
amount of air-slaked lime, say, one
tush el to eight or ten of beans or
peas, smooth off the top and cover
with a layer of lime half an inch to
an inch thick.
The air-slaked lime will not injure
the beans or peas for fo.od, feed, or
peed purposes. When the peas are
used for food or feed purposes, the
lime can easily be removed by sifting
cmd tlnen washing thoroughly; for
seed purposes the lime need not be
femoved, l?ui may be sowed with the
seed.
Method No. 2. Dry Heat
fTHE beans or peas may be treated
f by either wet or dry heat. The
former is to be preferred if one has
only a few to treat, but the latter is
touch more convenient if one has
large amounts to treat. In treating
the beans or peas by the dry method",
they may be stored in any fairly tight
room or building that can be heated.
If theriso-s-tove in the building, an
ordinary oil stove is a convenient
method of heating. If the room is
tightly closed, the temperature can
.easily be raised, in the summer timej
from 120 to 140 degrees. The temper
ature should not be higher than this
if the beans 6t peas areto be used for
seed purposes. Higher -temperatures
will dp no harm if they are to be used
for food purposes only. This high
'temperature should be maintained for
from three to four hours.
Method No. 3. Dipping in Hot Water
"COR those who prefer, the beans or
' peas may be treated by dipping in
hot water at about 140 degrees for
fifteen to twenty minutes.' Water at
140 degrees is slightly hotter than
one can bear the hand in comfortably.
This treatment will not injure the
beans or peas, if they are thoroughly
Jdried after treatment. The beans or
peas should then be stored in tight
sacks t5: prevent weevils gaining en
trance -from the outside. Z. P. Met
