CORN WEEVILS
THRIVE AT IHS
SEASON OF YEAR
Fourteen Per Cent OF
North Carolina Com Crop
Lost Annually Through
Weevil Destruction
Weevils annually take a toll
of about 14 per cent of North
Carolina’s corn crop. They begin
their attack in the field, but
when the com is harvested and
stored in the barn, conditions are
very favorable for the rapid in
crease of the pests.
B. B. Fulton, research ento
mologist of State college, says
that carbon disulpride is the most
practical material for control of
com weevils. Nothing is cheaper,
more effective, or more readily
available, he explained.
“The first step in controlling
the insects,” Fulton edvised, “is
to thoroughly clean the storage
gin or crib and treat the wood
work with any odorless, taste-

“Accumulations of old grain
and floor seepings from the pre
vious crop should be completely
removed and burned, or if it is
to be used as feed,.that is where
the carbon disulphide treatment
comes in.
“Sweepings may be placed in
a tight bin or barrel and the
chemical poured directly over it,
using the fluid at the rate of
three-fourth of a pint to a barrel
of sweepings. The container
should be covered immediately
with a double thickness of heavy
wrapping paper, and tied tightly
around the top. The fumes of the
carbon disulphide do the work,
Leave the bin or barrel sealed
for 24 hours to allow the fumes
to penetrate all portions of the
sweepings.”
Fulton pointed out that carbon
disulphide is very inflamable and
explosive chemical, and should
be used with care. Fire of any
kind, excessive heat, or frictional
or static electricity should not
be allowed near the “containers
being fumigated with the ma

Turkey Growers
Must Take Care
Os Future Needs
Cartoonists picture November
and December at the critical time
for the turkey who struts under
the shadow of the upraised axe.
It is also a critical time for tur
key growers and turkey breeders,
says C. F. Parrish, Extension
poultry specialist at State Col
lege.
If the growers expect to save
his own hatching eggs for incuba
tion, and this is the wisest prac
tice where good birds are kept,
then marketing time is also sel
ection time, Parrish declared. The
flock should be culled carefully
to keep the very best of the hen
turkeys for the breeding flock
and perhaps a few choice toms 1

for mating with these, or for ex
change.
The Extension poultryman
advised turkey growers to weigh
the quality of their flock care
fully before deciding whether to
buy hatching eggs or to raise
them from the old flock. “The
safest way of introducing new
blood into the flock is through
eggs from a reliable breeder
whose flock is healthy and vig
orous,” he said. “The next saf
est way is to buy poults and keep
them separated for a time to al
low any disease to make itself
evident. Buying mature birds
adds some risk of introducing dis
ease or parasites.”
Turkeys held over for breed
ing purposes should be handled
under a slightly different system
from birds fattened for sale, Par
rish stated. He recommended a
good standard growing mash and
a mixed scratch grain containing
not more than one-third corn.
The mash should be well balan
ced.
About four weeks before egg
production usually starts, the
birds selected as breeders should
go on an even richer breeder diet,
a mash that contains more vita
mins, more mineral, and more
protein than the growing diet,
and with grain limited to one
fifth pound a day for each bird.
