The innize also was -musty. It is understood that tho maize was fumigated nt Pi.?S for thir-ty-four hours with liydro-cyanio gap, which settles most pests in one hour, but the moth came out unharmed. The poets are considered a grave menace to maize growers, and serious concern isfelt at"the inactivity, of tho department.
