HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1950-11-23, Page 2EVRONT According to experts of the LYni- ted States Department of Agricul- ture a great many farmers are tos- sing away ten per cent or snore of their stored grail] SilnPly by lettinginsects chew away, uncon- trolled, after the harvest is in the bin, And those same experts claim that such wastage is by nO means necessary. The inroads Made by insects can be stopped by pleasures which almost any farmer can use. It is estimated that if all small grain and corn could be protected from loss the gain would be around a billion dollars a year; and that's south of the border only. Add the losses we suffer here in Canada, and the total would be appaling, even in these days when big money figures are juggled around so care- lessly. And while I realize that many of the following recommenda- tions come to you too late for use this year, they might be well ,vorth clipping out, saving, and acting upon when the time comes. In a recent study, entomologists carefully weighed grain going into average farm storage in many loca- tions, and then reweighed the same grain when it moved out of storage in the spring. They found that after allowing for moisture losses, insect damage had caused actual shrinkage in weight of from one to two per cent' per month. Insect damage not only reduces market •value of grain per bushel; it actual- ly reduces the amount of grain. Most insects that destroy grain will work when the temperature in the bin is above 60 degrees F. That's why damage is greater in the South than in the North- But farmers in the North have to take into con- sideration tile fact that grain in a bin cools off very slowly and may " stay warm enough for insects to work in it two or three months after cola weather arrives. So the damage may be going on when the outside"tentperatbre is considerably below 60 degrees F. •k # # Small grain or shelled corn shp,;kc, hg furt,jgated as soon as it s pint in the bin. Corlt left oysrr from last year in the crib can be protected by shelling it, putting it in tight bins, and fumigating it. The official recommendation for fumigation is as follows: '3 Use a' mixture of one part by volume of carbon disulphide, and four parts of carbon tetrachloride. Do not attempt to mix it . yourself —you'll find it for sale already mixed under some trade name. This liquid fumigant will not harm your grain as food, feed or seed. Level off the surface of the grain in the bin to at least six inches below the top of the side walls. Use three gallons of the mixture fol each 1000 bushels of small grain,, r in tight wooded bins, twice tha for shelled corn. Increase ill( t dosage ,to eight. gallons per 1001 E bushels if the grain is in shallov bins, with a large surface area. Apply it evenly over the surfac of the grain in the bin. You ca: use an inexpensive bucket spraye if you chose, and you need nc enter the bin. The liquid turn into a gas after it has been applies and this gas sinks down throug the grain and kills the insects • it goes.

Ta laths or strips of heavy paper ov cracks. A slatted crib won't he the gas unless completely lined, covered outside with roofing building paper.
