This could bave' been prevented, bad necessary precautions been taken. Measures must be taken before placing newly barvested grain in the storage. Bins should be thoroughly cleaned, out, making sure that there is no grain accumulated in the corners, in the cracks, bebind partitions, between double walls, outside and under bins, or in grain bandling equipment. The sweepings sbould be burnt or buried, otherwise disposed of, we ll away from the bin, otberwise, the insects that might be present couid return to infest the newly binned grain.

Leave«space between feed rooms and storage facilities because feed rooms are difficult to keep free of pests and insects can quickly spread to nearby storage facilities. For the samne reason, grain sbould not be stored in buildings that shelter animals or hay, because mangers, feed boxes and trougbs are often infested witb tbe insects. In addition, sucb buildings are warmer and tbus the insects can remain active tbroughout the w inter. Grain going into storage sbould not exceed 14 per cent moisture for molds as well as insects are mucb more troublesome in moist grain. If you are baving problemns then, apply one of the following two weeks prior to grain storage at the rate of 1 gallon of spray per 1000 square feet: Malathion 50 per cent EC - 1 quart per 4 gallons of water or 50 per cent WP 2½ 2pounds per 4 gallons of water. Make sure that thîs gets into all of the cracks, crannies and tbat the bin is well sprayedand you should be able to control any insect damage. On occasion, it migbt be necessary to.use a fumigant. In this case when bandling fumigants, follow ahl safety precautions given by the, Manufacturer's product, always work in pairs, wear recommended gas masks and move alI livestock or poultry that are in the samne building, especially if tbey are under the grain bin. Army Worms Farmers sbould be on the lookout for army wormsý in wbeat, oats, barley and corn. We may not bave any problems at ail this year, for tbe population of this insect are usually kept at a low level by parasites and predators. However, it is wise to keep an eye on tbose fields, and if an emergency should develop, be prepared to do something about it. Crop damage is evident wben the outleaves are gouged and the panicles clipped. Barley leaves are gouged and tbe awns and grain may be stripped off tbe head. Wbeat leaves and kernels may be fed upon but are usually too ripe to be attractive. Seeds from grasses are stripped from the bead. Corn plants can suffer sevdre damage to the extent that the leaves may be completely eaten except for the midrib. Caterpillars or larvae are usually not noticed until crop damage is evident. In our area, it is usually mid-.July before the damage will, be noted, and it is wise to start actually before tbat date to see if there is any evidence of the larvae. The larvae are bard to find, the best time to look for armyworms is in the evening or early morning when tbey are up on the plant feeding. During the daytime you may find them under lumps of gro 'und or in crevices, but tbey are very bard to find. Just because your neighbour may bave tbem, it doesn't say that your farmn will be infested, but, again, we suggest that you keep an eye on them. There are a number of chemicals that are very safe to use and are sbortlived and will do the job such as: Sevin, Malathion, Metboxychlor or Lannate L.
