is DESTRUCTIVE:
Estimated Loss of Million Dollars
Daily if Insect Once Gets
Established.
FOUND IN EASTERN STATES
Larva Is Dirty White Caterpillar,
bout One Inch Long, With Brown
Head-Ears of Corn Are
Bored Through.

A million dollars worth Of damage
a day is conservatively estimated as
the effect of the European corn borer
il it once gets established in the corn
belt OF the United States. This is the
statement of George \. Dean, head of
the entomology department in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
The insect, which has done tremen-
dous damage in Europe and Asia, has
been introduced into New York and
Massachusetts and is looked for in
| other regions.
Larva Is White Caterpillar.
The larva of the European corn
| borer is a dirty white caterpillar,
about an inch long, with a brown
head. 1t passes the winter in a nearly
| full grown condition within its food
| plants. In the spring its growth is
| completed and it then bOres its way to
the surface Of the food plant, where 1t
makes q slight hole to serve as an
exit for the resulting moth.
The larva now forms cocoon in the
| burrow, passes into the pupal stage,
and in about two weeks the adult moth
energies. The moth, which lives about
| two weeks, deposits 800 to 700 eggs on
the food plant. In about five days the
| eggs hatch, and the young larvae at
| first feed on the tender shoots of the
plants, but finally bore their way into
the main stem of the plant. In about
six weeks, after burrowing through all
parts Of the plant, the larvae pupate
as before and emerge as moths about
| the middle of summer.
The female moths of the second
| brood do the greatest damage to corn,
since they attack not only the stalk,
but also the tassel and the ear, and
continue feeding until cold weather.
Destroy Ears Completely.

from bottom to top and from side to
