Show CORN WEEVILS Weevil loss to Southern corn has been conservatively placed at 10 per cent. This loss can be prevented. The practice followed by some farmers of selling their corn in the fall ns soon as weevils are discovered dis-covered merely to avoid weevil loss is unbusinesslike. The farmer can protect his corn from weevil attack, at-tack, or kill the insects if already present, by thorough fumigation of the grain, in a tight room, wilh carbon disnlphid. The speculator finds it profitable lo do this service ! for the farmer, anrl the latter can I well afford to do it for himself. |
