According to experts of the lrni-
ted S a rs Department of Agricul-
lure a great many faro rr5 are tos-
sing away ten per cent Or more
of thein stored grain •.ini;lly by
letting insects chew away, uncoli-
trolled, after the harvest i, in the
bin. And those same experts claim
that such wastage is by no means
neiessnrj'. The inroads tirade by
nserts can -be stopped by measures
which almost any farmer call use,

It is estimated that if all small
grain and corn could be protected
from loss tile gain would be around

In a recent study, t:lltintologists
carefully weighed grain going into
Average farm storage in litany loca-
tions, and then reweighed the sante
grain when it moved out of storage
in the spring. 'They found that

insect damage had caused actual
shrinkage in weight of from one to
two per cent per month. Insect
damage oat only reduces market
value of grain per bushel: it actual-
ly retlncrs the amount of grain.,.
5 R
Most insects that destroy grain
will work when the temperature in
the bin is above 60 degrees F. That's
why damage is greater itt the South
than in the .North. But farmers
in the North have to take into con-
sideration the fact that grain in a
bin cools off very slowly and May
stay warn}. enough for insects to
work in it tu,:, or three Months
after cold weather arrives. So the
damage may be going on when the
outside temperature is considerably
below Yi0 degrees F.
* *
Small grain or shelled corn
should be fumigated as soon: as it
is put in the bin. Corr left over
from iast year in the crib can be
protected by shelling it. putting it
in tight bins. and funlicating.it.
The official recommendation for
fumigation is as follows: -
t'se a mixture of one part by
volume of carbon. di'ulphide, and
four parts of carbon tetrachloride.
Do not attempt to mix it yourself
-you'll rind it for sale already
'nixed under some trade name. This
squid fumigant will not harm your
grain a=. 'oort, feed oa seed.
* *
Level off the surface of the grain
in the Lin to at least six inches
below the top of the side walls, Use
three .gallons of the mixture for
each 1000 bushels of small grains
in tight wooden bins, twice that
for shelled corn. Increase the
dosage to eight gallons per 1000
bushels if the grain is in shallow
bins with a large surface area.
k * h
Apply it evenly over the surface
of The gain in the bin. You can
use an inexpensive bucket sprayer
if you chose, and you need not
enter the bin. The liquid tarns
into a gas after it has been applied,
and this gas sinks down through
the grain and kills the insects as
it goes, Avoid breathing the fu-
mes, and wear a gas mask Int your
protection if you are exposed to it
for more than a very short time,
k *
Bin must he tight, or the fumi-
gant won't do the job well. Tack
laths or -trips of heavy paper over
'racks. A slatted crib won't hold
the gas uniE'ss completely lined, or
covered outside with roofing or
building pa;per.
Select a still day in mild, warm
weather to do the job, Or wind
may blow the gas away before all
the ib;• --t; are frilled. If the grain
is warn,. 55 to 75 degrees F., low

Building's Costly Over There, Same As Here—If you've got enough dough to get over the
hurdle of the new credit restrictions, 'you'd still better recheck your cost estimate, Recent
wage increases won by nearly 30 per cent of union construction workers in 85 inttjor cities in
the United titrates have pushed up the average hourly scale 'of all union construction workers
to $2.32 an hour.
Nret -schart above shows the average rates by crafts in the month of October
outside temperatures will not hin-
der fumigation.
.k k
Properly done. one fumigation
soon after harvest will hold stored
grain free of insect damage until
warm weather the following spring.
But, insects are busy whenever and
wherever there is mild weather.
They will increase itt number and
do an ever-increasing amo00t of
damage during mild weather until
the grain is used or sold. This is
particularly true when the moisture
content of the grain is high, Wlicrt
the grain isn't very clean, or if the
bin wasn't cleaned out thoroughly
before putting the gran into it,
* k
Even grain that has been fhnii-
gated should be inspected. at least
once each Month. Look for warn]
spots, or areas where the grain may
he webbed or caked, Take a sam-
ple of the grain from such areas
and look for sntd1l worms, weevils,
beetles, moths, and kernels that are
chewed or have small hoses in
then.
If you find that insects are work-
ing in your grain, refunligate imme-
diately.
A new way to protect stored
grain from insects for a much lon-
ger period of time, developed by a
commercial company,. is under in-
,vestigation. It consists of applying
a dust impregnated with pyrethrins
and piperonyl butoxide to the grain
as it goes into storage. This meth-
od, unlike the fumigation treatment,
provides a residue of insecticide and
has the advantage of preventing
grains front becoming infested. Fu-
migation kills all insects present at
the time, but protection ends when
the fumigating gas, disappears,
* * *
The pyrcthrin and piperonyl
butoxide mixture is well known as
one of the safest insecticides in use
today. And, properly applied to
newly harvested uninfested grain
going into storage, it may give
protection from insect damage for
as long as a year or more. If this
newly discovered method of treat-
ing grain in storage for insect con-
trol works, without complications,
it will be a major scientific advance-
ment.
Entomologists have developed a
year-round program to prevent in-
sect damage to stored grains. The
procedures outlined below will pro-
tect stored grain.
* + t
1. Construct tight bins to make
fumigation easier.
2. Clean up your old bins thor-
oughly before refilling them with
ltew grain.
3. Clean up trash or old grain
front outside your bins.
4. Store bran, shorts, or other
milled feed, and old feed ]lags, away
from your stored grains, because

5. Splay the floors and inside
walls with DDT, TDE, methoxy-
chlor, chlordane, or the pyrethrin-
butoxide mixture before refilling
your empty storage bins. Apply
with an ordinary garden - type
sprayer.
6. Store your grain as dry as
possible.
7. Have it as free front broken

8. Fustigate alt grain as soon af-
ter harvest as possible.
9. Inspect all stored grain at
least once each month -and. fusti-
gate it again if evidence of insect
damage shows up.

We see by the papers that in at
least one Ontario town the ladies
have taken avidly to the ancient
sport of shooting pool -and not
doing so in the seclusion of private
residences, club rooms, Y.W,C.A.'s
or the like either, but right out in
public pool rooms, or "billiard aca-
demies" as some of the higher -class
joints used to try and call them-
selves in the olden days.
* * *
(The only difference we ever
personally noticed between a pool
roost and a billiard academy was
that the latter had a minimum fee
of live cents per cue, whereas some
of the former charged a rate of
two -and -a -half; but that is entirely
by the way'.)
k * *
Anyway, with the entry of the
fair sex into the game, there dis-
appears just about the last haven
of safe refuge for the mere male;
and whether or not this will prove.
to be a good thing for humanity,
time alone will tell. Many of you
will recall the time when a man
could go to a bowling alley, prize
fight, burlesque show, wrestling
match, pool room or even a tavern
without exposing himself to any of
that refining and ennobling femin-
ine influence you read so much
about. But now it seems as if those
days are gone forever; and maybe
it is just as well, although we
wouldn't wish to lay very heavy
odds that it is.
1 * *
All of which will serve to intro-
duce a little news of the latest
developments in the game on the
other side of the briny, where they
take their pool and billiards seri-
ously. And it would appear that,
over in England, all the snooker
fans are waiting breathlessly to
see if, during the coming season,
some expert will come out with a
maximum of 147. This, we might
explain for those who did not have
the benefits of a mis-spent youth,
is equivalent to rolling 300 in ten-
pins, or 450 in five -pins. In other
words, if you score 147 in snooker,
you've hit the jackpot, and cannot
go any further.
So far, nobody's done it - al-
though there are said to be half a
dozen experts, scattered through-
out the world, capable of the feat,
some afternoon or evening when
everything happens to be breaking
right.
:x * *
Most likely prospect is said to
he Joe Davis. an English pro; For
20 years 'Davis was undefeated
champion of the world at snooker,
or Snooker's pool to give it the
full and proper name. Then, last
February - as reported in this
column. a young French-Canadian
from Winnipeg, George Chenier by
name, threw snoolterdom into a
tizzy by not only beating Davis,
but by setting a new record.
*
Although the old game of pocket
billiards -or 15 -ball pool -is still
highly popular in Canada, there are
indications • that snooker is gradu-
ally replacing it in public favor. And
with the advent of tit. ladies -men -
dented earlier -it seems probable
that there will be more and more
snooker played. Unlike billiards it
is not a test of mathematical exacti-
tude in the application of dynamics,
as one writer puts it, but an ad-
venturous game in trltich anything
is likely to happen. And that fea-
ture, alone, should make it suit the
women ti a "l'."
4 * *
It requires less concentration.
Fluke shots, which are a source
of disgust to the earnest billiards
man, are part and parcel of snooker
and lend enchantment and gaiety to
the game. One can become fairly
good quite soon and go on improv-
ing all the time. That is, until you
get into the professional class,
where the 147 break .is tie only
limit.
x *
As for the 147 break -perfection
-here's all that you have to do in
order to achieve it.
To do it each of the 15 red balls
(each scoring one point) must be
put dowli alternately with the black
(scoring 7), When this has been
accomplished and the black set up
for the last time the other coloured
balls must be taken in correct order
-yellow (2), green (3), brown (4),
blue (5), pink (6), and their black.
If this is done wallow, a single
mistake, the 147 break is tirade. It
means, of course, that the player
must start off before the opponent
has potted any of the balls. There
are 22 balls, includingthe cue ball,
and this is another respect where
snooker differs from the 16 in
pocket billiards.
Sounds quite simple, doesn't it,
0.h. Just grab yourself a cue -and
a table -and gu and do it. But bet-
ter find yourself an all -orale pool
hall for the attempt, if such a thing
can be found. Otherwise, just as
you're making that final shot, a
mouse is liable to run across the
floor, and itt the flurry of feminine
excitement botuul to follow, your
record will be all shot to aitch and
gone.

Electric Fishing
To rid a lake of pike which prey
on trout, the British have been
experimenting with electricity. Ul-
tra -violet lamps are put in the -lake
ar night. There is a faint glow, be-
cause more titan invisible ultra-
violet rays are emitted. Fish in-
vestigate. Linder the ultra -violet
rays their scales glow. More fish
are attracted by this secondary
glow. When a current is switched
on copper plates about twenty feet
apart on either side of the lamp
all the fish are stunned, so that
fishermen can lift the pike with nets.
When the current is turned off, the
other lisle, including the trout, re-
cover and swim away.
