IVILL SHOW WAY
TO KILL PESTS
Demonstration in Southern
Dauphin Township Three
Days in September
* In an effort to stamp out and con
trol wheat moth and bean weevils In
■Dauphin county, H. G. Nlesley, Agri
cultural Extension Representative,
will hold demonstrations In the
southern towr.ships of Dauphin
county, September 11, 12 and 13.
The wheat moth came into Dauphin
county from Lancaster, and thus far
has only been found in the southern
townships.
Many thousands of dollars' worth
of stored grains, beans and peas are
lost annually in Pennsylvania from
attacks of insects. This injury can
ho largely prevented by fumigating
these products in accordance with
the following directions:
Carbon bi-sultide is the standard
material for fumigating. It is a col
orless liquid which vaporizes Jl>on
exposure to the air, giving off a gas
which is heavier than air. This gas
settles down into the grain, display
lng the air, and is fatal to all insect
life without injuring the grain for
either human consumption or seed
purposes. It may be obtained from
druggists or wholesale drug dealers
nt a price varying from about 11
cents to 35 cents per pound (pint).
It is essential that the grain or
©♦her products to be fumigated be
placed in a tightly closed room, bin
or other receptacle. For small
amounts n. barrel or tight box is
ouito satisfactory. All cracks or
knot-holes in the floor or sides or
the room, bin or receptacle should
he covered over to prevent the gas
from escaping. If n, barrel or other
vessel with an open top must be
used, it can be made fairly tight bJ
placing blankets or canvas tightly
over the top, providing the bottom
end sides are airtight. Fumigating in
an open crib is a waste of time and
wiaterial. „
Fumigate on \\ arm Day
Fumigate only on a fairly warm
day when the temperature is 60
degrees F. or above. The Insects are
more active on warm days, and are
more readily k!iled then, than on
cool days when they arc not active
and breathe but little.
For about 1,000 cubic feet of
epace (or 800 bu.) use from five
to eight pounds (or pints) of carbon
hi-sullide, depending upon the tight
ness of the bin or receptacle. If it
Js not airtight or practically so, or
If the temperature is below 00 de
grees F., use a much larger amount
of carbon bi-sulflde; there is no dan
ger of using too much. For a tight
barrel an average dose of about one
half teacupful is sufficient if the
top of the barrel is tightly covered.
The jcarbon bl-sulflde may be
poured directly upon the grain or
seed without injuring it for planting
or seed purposes. For fumigating
large amounts of grain in the bin
saturate burlap sacks or cotton
waste and shove these into the grain
a foot or two below the surface; in
this way the gas, will diffuse more
thoroughly through the grain. For
deep bins apply the material to the
center of the bin by pouring it down
through a pipe which has been push
ed down into the grain. After the
material has been poured down into
the pipe pull out the pipe. Leave the
bin or receptacle closed for from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours.
There is sometimes danger from the
Infested grain heating after being
fumigated if the infestation has
been serious; therefore, shift the
grain by shoveling It over, and air
It out.
Carbon bi-sulflde is highly inflam.
mable; therefore, mlce the applica
tion in daylight and do not bring
fire or flame of any kind (such as
from a lighted match, pipe, cigar or
lantern) near the gas. As little as
possible of the gas should be breath
ed because, although it is not neces
sarily fatal to human life, it is apt
to nauseate one if very much of it
Is inhaled.
Grow More Wheat
Is Timely Advice
Now is the time for every farmer ,
to think about increasing his wheat
acreage, as well as yield.
It is a patriotic duty as well as
a business proposition to increase
the wheat acreage for next year.
The government has Insured the
farmer two dollars for his wheat
next year, therefore, why not in
crease the acreago and yield.
Now is the time to order your
fertilizer. Don't forget the use of
lime is very important where clover
eeed is to be sown.
Where no manure has been applied
hefore seeding, or where the applica
tion has been very light, a moderate
application of . manure during the
winter will be very profitable, not
only will it increase the yield, but
acts as a protection against winter
killing. Where a liberal supply of
barnyard manure is used or a heavy
sod plowed down, apply from 250
to 350 pounds of sixteen per cent,
acid phosphate. The manure fur
nishes the nitrogen and potash and
if supplemented with acid phos
phate, a well balanced fertilizer is
the result.
If your soil is lacking in nitrogen,
the application of a 2-10 fertilizer
should give good results. It will pay
to buy fertilizer this fall even if
prices are high.
Plow land early and work down to
a good, firm, well pulverized seed
bed. Where wheat follows corn or
potatoes, the land can be well pre
pared by thorough discing, or spring
tooth harrowing. Don't sow wheat
on a loose soil. Get It firm and cam
pact.
Don't forget the Importance of
good sead! Sow a variety that has
done well for ycu or your neighbor.
Make arrangements for clean seed,
free from weed seed. Wheat yield
can be greately Increased by careful
lanning of the seed, blowing out all
shriveled grain'., thereby having only
the plump healthy grains.—Dauphin
County Farm Bureau.
