ONLY WAY TO KILL CORN WEEVILS The weevil which has been doing so much damage to corn in the barn during this season and which is much damage to the dry corn in ttur field is cause for alarm. Thuy dc serious damage when they get a hold in corn. Mr. Sylvester Peel of SmithwkkS 'Creek recently wrote Mr. C. S. Met cilf of the State Department of Agri culture and sent him specimen! of the bug or weevil. Mr. Metcalf in reply stated that th* insect was what is known as black weevil. He gives as the best methot' to handle it is to clean the barn o« crib in which corn is to be put, thor oughly and spray same with gasolint or kerosene, then lake the new corn to some suitable place where it can be heated to 130 degrees. This will kill the insects. He recommends tobacco barns as the most convenient plait to heat the corn and later on the weevil' reupftyars it should b« heated ugain. This is of course, some trouble but unless something is done much corn will be almost totally ruined, *« the weevils are already eating the eoru in the Held.
