BUD WORM OF CORN

Larva Of II Spotted Cucumber
Beetle Kills Much Bottom
Lamb Corn.

grub of our common twelve spotted
cucumber beetle. This beetle or pa
rent may be found at the present time
feeding upon small grain In the fields,
fruit blooms about the orchard, or on
almost any other green vegetation
found about the farm.
The larva or grub confines its ao-
tivtty TO corn and various grasses
found growing in low moist lands,
commonly known as bottom lands.
The eggs are laid by the parent beetle
from about the first Of March to the
middle OF, April. Corn planted On low
lands during the egg laying period Is
very often seriously damaged and
sometimes completely destroyed by
this insect. After the corn has reach
ed a height of about ten inches no
serious injury occurs.
Remedial Measures.
Avoid planting bottom lands infested
with bud worms until about two-thirds
OF the grubs have reached the
quiescent period. The planting dates
for various sections OF the state has
been carefully marked out and are fol-
lowed by many OF our farmers. They
are as follows:

SWEET POTATO DISEASES

Black rot of sweet potato which Is
probably the most common OF the
sweet potato diseases lives over win
ter on the potatoes IN the form OF
small black or dark colored blotches
or spots on the surface. Where pota-
toes affected with this trouble are used
for seed the disease gets into the
sprouts that come from these and IS
carried directly into the field. Here
the disease attacks the roots and the
potatoes and after causing consider
able damage ID brought back again
into the banks or storage houses the
next fall. Potatoes used for seed
should be tree from this disease.
