Fumigation for Weevils 
The pictures shown on this page are 
taken from a Farmers’ Bulletin on the 
“Angoumis Grain Moth.” This insect is 
quite common in the West and South, but 
is rarely destructive north of Central 
New Jersey. It is a European pest, first 
noticed in this country during 1728, when 
it appeared in North Carolina. It at¬ 
tacks corn and most small grains. Early 
thrashing, prompt dry storage and fumi¬ 
gation arc the remedies. The chief ob¬ 
ject in printing this is to call attention to 
the iron grain bin at Fig. 28 and the 
fumigation shed at Fig. 29. This gal¬ 
vanized iron crib was built in Louisiana. 
Corn is kept in the crib in perfect condi¬ 
tion, and as the crib can quickly be made 
airtight, fumigation of grain contained 
in it is easy. The other crib was made

Iron Grain Bin. Fig. 28 
especially for fumigation purposes. This 
shed or room is made of double thickness 
of matched boards with building paper 
between. Grain can be stored in bulk or 
in sacks for fumigation. Every year we 
have hundreds of questions about killing 
insects in grain, beans or peas. The chem¬ 
ical used is bisulphide of carbon. This 
liquid, on exposure to the air, gives 0 *' 
dense, poisonous fumes. These, being 
heavier than air, work down all through 
the grain or beans, and kill every breath¬ 
ing thing they come in contact with. Of 
course they must be used in an air- 
enclosed, airtight place. The quantity 
used is one pint to 1,000 cu. ft. The 
chemical is poinsonous and inflammable. 
No flame should be brought near it, and 
no one who handles it should take a deep 
breath while the face is over it. It is the 
best remedy for weevils and grain insects.

Sprouted Potato Seed 
Referring to the matter of sprouted po¬ 
tatoes, I do not think there is any ques¬ 
tion that those with good healthy sprouts, 
not bruised and not too long, will not only 
not come -up quicker, but will produce a 
better crop. However, to my mind one 
of the greatest advantages in sprouted po¬ 
tatoes is that one can pick out the good 
seed by the appearance of the sprouts. If 
they are thick and stocky they are of the 
proper sort, but if there are a great many

long stringy sprouts, sometimes several 
from one eye, they are no good for seed. 
Sprouting also assists one in the proper 
flitting of the seed. Sprouts should be 
propagated in a warm, light room, with 
the tuber so spread out that the proper 
elements—light, heat and air—may reach 
them. Remember that each time the 
sprouts are rubbed off the vitality of the 
Potato is weakened ; it gives up a part of 
its life for the propagation of its kind, an 
inevitable law in all vegetable, animal 
and human life. e. c. Hendrickson.

Harris’ Seeds Are Grown in the North 
Seeds that are grown in the north produce earlier crops and better 
yields than if grown further south. This has been proven over and 
over again. Get seeds you know are northern grown. Harris’ seeds are 
raised near the Canadian border and are therefore by far the best for 
the northern states. They are sold direct from the grower to you 
at wholesale prices. 
Every lot of seed is tested and the percent that germinates is marked 
on the package. You do not have 
to guess how thick to sow, and can 
always get uniform results. 
We raise Vegetable seeds, Farm 
seed and very choice Flower seeds and 
plants. Catalogue free. If you raise 
vegetables for market, please ask for 
Market Gardeners’ price list.
