Weevil Infestation in Pennsylvania Barn Warns Farmer
A Pennsylvania farmer asked State Zoologist H A Surface about grain weevil in his barn and whether to fumigate. Surface advised sweeping and disposing sweepings, sealing cracks with a light spray, threshing early, and warned against fumigation as impractical in a large barn so the crop remains safe and losses are preventable.
