People would have been better fed, better clad, better housed and furnished generally, but for the money spent in drink.

Reports are received from many sources that weevils and other insects are destroying grain in the granaries. Several lots of grain delivered at the Exeter mill have been infested and this infestation and injury is thought to be fairly general thro­ ughout the district. It is the opin­ ion of some farmers that many have weevils in their granaries and never know it. The weevil has 'always j been more or less present in, wheat i but has increased to its present in- jjurious state largely because grow­ ers have been storing grain in their | bins during the low-price market ; period of the last two years. Much of this year’s crop has been stored instead of being marketed. Accord­ ing to Geo. M, Sterrett, of the Do­ minion Entomological Laboratory, Chatham, a farmer with infested grain has to choose between three procedures: Ho may clean his grain as much as possible and sell at once; he may let the insects feed until really cold weather and then turn his grain over in zero weather and which procedure will kill the insects or he may fumigate. The method chosen will probably depend on the number of insects .'the grain at the present time, the insects are numerous enough Cause the grain to heat, it would best either, to clean and Sell or fumigate, because by the time really cold weather arrives the grain will probably be badly injured/ Information in reference to the fumigation, of the grain may be so* cured at Harvey Hros.
