Reducing insect injury to stored corn, W. E. Hinds (Alabama Col. Sta. Bui. 

 176 (1914), pp. 51-68, pis. 4). — This bulletin describes the more important 

 insect enemies of stored corn and means by which their injury can be pre- 

 vented. 



In storage tests about fifty times as many weevils were found on early corn 

 up to midwinter as late matured corn. It was found that the value of the 

 grain saved by husking will more than pay for the labor required. The practice 

 of storing corn wet and salted is decidedly favorable to insect injuries. In a 

 study of varieties weevil resistance was found to depend first upon the length 

 and tightness of the husk covering upon the maturing ear.
