The corn ear worm is active at thi
season of the year. Professor A.
Melander, Entomologist of the Stat
Agricultural Experiment station, q
Pullman, describes the methods O
combating this pest as follows: Thi
species Is commonly known as the col
ton boil worm in the southern state
because of its destructiveness to tn
cotton plant. In the west the specie
is principally corn infesting insect
and is particularly fond of the ears o
sweet corn. The main treatment TO
the pest Is fall blowing on the prin
ciple that thorough stirring up of tn
soil will either mash the worms o.
disturb them so that they die durin,
the winter. There is no spray treat
ment applicable, although some peopl'
claim to have had fair success b,
lightly busting Paris green over thu
tassel end of the newly formed ears
1t is possible when growing corn fol
home use to open the tassel end of tn,
half grown corn and if the worms ar,
noticed, to pick them out and destro,
them. Although fall blowing ha,
proved successful in meeting this pest
some growers of corn have claimed
that the insect has been present il
their fields the first year the grount
has been set to corn.
