How to Treat Stored Grain
For Destructive insects
"This eall, a number of faTmers
'have reported their grain bins, espec-
-hilly wheat, to be serlosuly infected
"with weevils," reports G. E. Nelson,
'Clinton, assistant agricultural repre-
eentative for 1-1113:011 County. "This
condition does not happen necessarily
every year, but poesibly the warm
• airy weather during the thrashing
, season was very suitable for multi
-
'legion of these destructive pada
Newly -thrashed grain was dumped
into bins that had been swept out
clean,but not fumigated, which action
is alnost necessary to completely vid
lathe grain bins of weevils, because
they congregate in the cracks and
openings where a broom will not
each.
"The presence of insects in strived
grain greatly reduces its value and
when they become numerous, their
activities may -cause the grain to
heat, which is a serious condition
When a large quantity of grain is
-affected. lb is almost impossible to
remove all the grain from a granary
in order to completely eTadicate the
• weevil; rather, some method of beat-
ing the grain has to be resorted to.
If all bins in a granary, particularly
-outside walls and floors, could be
securely covered with sheets of tin or
.lheaTY Paper or other such substance
to prevent rodents from chewing holes
and also facilitate cleaning before
• emptying in the newly threshed grain,
:this would also greatly reduce the
breeding places for these insects and
• the pessibility of infection would be
zaatermily lessened particularly if
perhaps the mm
most common of all
fumigants used. It consists et three
Paras of ethylene dichloride and one
part of carbon tetrachloride mixture
and is usually available already pre-
pared. This material evaporates
rather slowly and should be sprinkled
over the grain or exposed by soaking
sacks in it. It works most satis-
factorily at temperatures between
80 and 85 degrees F., and its use
below 70 degrees is not recommended.
The dosage recommended under satis-
factory conditions is on3 pound of
fumigant to 50 bushels of grain. The
treatment should be allowed to pro-
ceed for at least 24 home. It is
effective, simple to use, free front
fire hazard, and not dangerous to
human being's. It does have an
anaesthetic action, if too much is in-
haled and the operator should take
necessary precautions not to get ,.an
overdose. I could mention other
fumigants, but theyalthougheffec-
tive to some extent are more danger-
ous to use.
"During winter, an easy way to rid
stored grain a insects is to ran it all
through a fanning mill when the
temperature is near zero or below.
The insects evhen taken out of a
heating bin at this temperature
quickly become dormant and by using
praper screens. set at the right slope
will drop into the chess box or be
blown out behind the mill, Badly in-
fected wheat has been successfully
treated •in this way. The insects
should be burned to avoid further
spread. As most fanners know, even
proper precautions were taken to shovelling grain from one bin to an -
clean the bins thoroughly while they other from time to time prevents
are empty.
"Much of the trouble with stored
.grain insects results from poorly con-
structed granaries and muting new
grain with old grain that may already
be infected. All grain bins should
have tar tight floors and walls if
'possible. it is never a good practice
to mi
ix new and old grain n the same
bin unless the old grain is free of
• insects.
Treat Grain in 13in
"Some farmers have the idea that
.grain cannot be, treated for insects
while still in the bin, but this can
be done quite readily with the use of
'fumigants such as ethyline dichloride-
eearleon tetrachloride -mixture, which is

Helpful Suggestions
1. It is seldom not a good plan
to hold grain over from •one year
to another, because doing so
favours attacks from insets, rats
and mice, and the lass from
these is often greater thau any
possible rise in price. '
2. Grain should never be stored
in heated buildings, the cooler the
building, the getter, hem:se be-
low 45 degrees F. insects are not
likely to feed.
3. When a bin of grain is
emptied, sweep it up clean and
make a practice of not leaving
bits of grain scattered here and
there.
4. Do not keep large quantities
of chop and meal on hand because
these are excellent mediums foe
insects to thrive in,
5. .Always he careful in exchang-
ing grain bags and feed from one
place to another in case they may
be infected,
Raspberry Transplanting

reach the Agricultural Office, Clin-
ton, regarding the best time of year
to transplant raspberry, bushes,
whether fall or spring. It has and
can be done at either time with
comparable results, although planting
in the fall -seems to be more favored
because the plants are in the ground

ready to start growth in the spring
as soon as conditions are favourable.
"Transplanting in the fall should
be done during the month of Septem-
ber in order to allow the young plants
to become securely established before
freeze-up. Mulching with straw or
peat between the rows is a plan quite
widely used although there are some
disadvantages. The advantages of this
practice would be conservation of
moisture. with cooler soil elimination
of cultivation and prevention ofsoil
erosion, all of which are very worth-
while. Against these advantages must
be set the cost.of mulching material,
and the labour of application, some
delay In the ripening of fruit in a
wet season and probable delay in
maturing the wood in the fall.
"The Brat two disadvantages would
not be costly item, with the small
garden plot. Spring transplanting
is advocated when spring suckers are
to be used, but should be done early
before excessive growth tekes Place.
"In the fall or early spring, all
dead canes should be removed to
allow the new canes better opportune
ity to grow. Also elipjeing off the
long tips on the new canes before
growth begins in the spring keeps
the bushes from growing too rank
and thus prevent greater difficulty in
picking the fruit."
