Farmers Should Insure Against Damage From Weevil in Grain

In cribbing corn in the shuck, put in a layer of corn about six inches thick, then scatter or sprinkle over this corn, The Great Arm & Hammer Soda (or Saleratus), in proportion to from twelve to fifteen pounds to every one hundred barrels of corn in the shuck, and continue this until the crib is filled. This will absolutely prevent all danger of weevil damaging corn.
