THE BUD WORM OF CORR.

The cause of the death of tho core
of The corn stalk is the presence of #
small worm in it that is eating out tho
heart. This is one of the worst pests
of this plant, and not rs well known
MS it should be. 1t is the larva of n
small beetle of the curculio tribe, md
was first known forty years ngo, when
1t was found in tho hearts of the
young corn in the State of New York.
1t is the worst enemy of tho corn
grower, ut times having been known
to wholly destroy acres of crop, leav.
ing only few isolated plants here
and there. 1t isnow common all over
tho continent, damaging the plant
from tho extreme South to Canada.
There is but one remedy, which is to
spray the young corn, MS soon as the
first leaves are opened, with Il weak
mixture of paris green with water,
kept in suspension by the addition OF
small quantity of molnsses. The
plan of planting only three seeds, on
tho principle of ono for the cut.
worm, one for the crow, and one to
grow, will not do, for it greatly Gu
conraged the increase of the intoler.
able. pest. The insect goes by the

should beplanted and tho infested ones

stack like largo shock, so MS to keen
tho heads of tho bundles on the

in many places out of tho question.
In Stacking go to tho right or left, as
