18 Farmers’ Bulletin 1156. 
Fig. 14.—Corn-crib belonging to farmer in Georgia. This was originally a slatted crib, 
but the weevils were so destructive that he covered it with building paper and a layer 
of tongue and groove boarding, made his floor tight, and fumigated with carbon 
disulphid. He no longer fears weevils. Anyone can make their cribs tight with the 
aid of the county agent. 
Fic, 15.—An old-style barn with lean-to sheds. The owner could not store corn or 
wheat and keep it free from weevils. At the advice of the county agent he sealed 
the barn on the inside with tongue and groove boarding, and filled the space between 
the rough outer boards and sealing with packed sawdust. He then fumigated with 
earbon disulphid and killed all weevils. Use your ingenuity to tighten your old 
crib or build a new one, according to the adyice of your county agent,
