Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Insect Control in Flour Mills
The control of insect pests in flour and cereal mills has become a very important feature of food conservation and of mill construction and operation. The Cleanliness of many of the well-lighted, Concrete mills, such as are being built more frequently now than ever before, and their comparative freedom from pests, are emphasized by the conditions that exist in old-type structures. These latter offer insects every advantage in their fight against the miller. It is true that many of these older mills are established in rambling, loosely constructed buildings that can be neither properly cleaned, from the standpoint of insect destruction, nor made tight for the application of successful control measures. Fortunately the losses caused by insects to the mill owners and-the advantages of modern construction are working hand in hand to bring about a constant change for the better. With modern equipment installed in buildings erected with a View to suppressing insects, more millers are joining the ranks of those who know that they can control insects and offer the public a product reasonably free from infestation.
