and to the ear by mass of white,
| cobwebby filaments. At the same
| time the parts affected have lost their
substance, are light In weight and
brittle in texture.
Upon close study It soon becomes
apparent that there are several of
| these ear rots, or at least that there
are differences which seem fairly con-
slant when numerous specimens are
carefully examined. 1t Is thus posi-
BILE TO divide the affected ears into
four groups, as follows: Diplodia,
Fusarium /, Fusarium II, Fusarium III.
Some of these rots are so similar
that the casual observer rarely en-
tertains any suspicion of their being
but one form. The resemblances are
so complete in some instances that
the removal of the husk and some
times microscopic examination are
needed for the classification of the
variety. Commonly, however, in fairly
advanced stages of the disease one
or more characteristic differences are
apparent The two forms most easily
confused are the Diplodia, in which
the color of the moldy growth is
white, and Fusarium II, in which it
is pink to red.
The first indication that ears of
corn are diseased is a fading of the
bright green of the husks to a pale
yellowish green color. In Diplodia
this change goes on gradually, and
under favorable conditions quite rap
| idly, until the entire ear has the ap-
pearance of premature ripening. While
| this change of color on the outside
| is progressing one finds the inner
| husks have not lost their normal color,
but are more or less tinged with
brown, particularly along the advanc-
ing margin of the diseased area. This
description also applies to the disease
| produced by Fusarium II, although no
entirely decayed ear due to this organ
ism has been found. In this case in
lection always begins at the tip and
proceeds downward, rarely involving
more than half of the ear.
The diseased ears shrivel up more
or less, become darker in color and
