and plant material.

The larvae have a habll of spinning web and working into It particle* of ood and excrement, thereby rendering ng much more unfit for food than what they actually consume. The best way to control this post trio fumigate with carbon bisulphide using it at the rate of two pounds to t.OOti cubic fret of space. Use a tight box for this. Leave the material in Tested in the box for an hour or two or over night would be better, Hav, no lights or fires about when ruinig.it ing as this material is very explosive. Articles too badly infested to be ustd should be burned, and a constant watch must be maintained as the insect is very common and easily introduced by purchasing more goods.

CARE IN SEED SELECTION OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is endeavoring to impress upon the farmer* of the State, the necessity of securing first grade seed for their spring planting.
