Protect Beans Now from
Weevil Damage Later
Vegetable gardeners who plan
to store dry beans can protect
them from weevil damage by fumi­
gation treatments. If the quanity
of beans to be stored is not large,
the heat treatment is perhaps pre­
ferable. All stages of insect life in
stores! products can be killed by
exposure to temperatures of 120
to 130 degrees F for 2 hours.
However, the insect itself must
be subjected to the heat for the
required time. Be sure the proper
temperature is reached and main­
tained at the center of the material
. being treated. To insure rapid
penetration of the heat, spread
the beans in as thin a layer as
possible and stir from time to
time.
To fumigate small quantities
of dry beans, place them in a one-
half gallon jar. Pour one table
spoon of carbon bisulfide over the
top and tightly close the jar, leav­
ing for 48-hour period. At the end
of the 48-hour period remove the
beans and air them thoroughly
until all trace of the fumigant
has disappeared and then store
in tight containers. Carbon bisul­
fide is very flamable. It should
never be used near open fire or
while one is smoking. Be sure
■ and use the pure form of carbon
I bisulfide. Impurities in the fumi-
I gant will cause off-flavor. Ano­
ther good fumigant which can
sometimes be purchased locally is
a mixture of 3 parts by volume
of ethylene dichloride and 1 part
of carbon tetrachloride. It is
a colorless, non-flamable liquid.

Add Sawdust to Keep
Cows out of Mud
Dairymen who want to keep
the cows out of the mud this
winter can do so by adding a
good thick layer of sawdust or
shavings. They should be added
before the rains ever get under­
way, and preferably 18 inches
should be used. It doesn't pay to
be stingy. Sawdust or shavings [
added after the rains when the
yard has been cut up, is not too
effective unless an extra thick
layer is added. For that reason
it is better to add it in the early |
fall before rainy season and before |
cows are confined.

Plans Available to Make
Silage Feeding Easier
*°'%r *33°
.More and more dairymen are
becoming interested in manger I
ensilage conveyers to cut down ,
the work of feeding ensilage.
This is a good time to start think- ;
ing nbout reducing that extra
chore or extra handling of silage.
By putting in an ensilage conveyer j
| in a feed manger all that is neces- '
| -ary is to remove the ensilage
once and that is when unloading
it out of the silo, or, if one prefers,
the whole thing can lae mechanized
using a silage unloader and drop- i
ping it directly onto the conveyer.
Dale Kirk of the Agricultural !
Engineering Dept., OSC, has work- ,
r d on this plan for several years
and developed plans that are avail­
able through the fai-m buiknng
plan service for a small cost to
cover printing and mailing.
