ANNUAL LOSS TO CORN CROPS
BY EARWORM.

An annual loss Of over 100000,
to the corn crop of the United States
Is caused by the corn earworm.
This is an average of per cent for
the entire acreage, but the loss is
considerably higher in some sections,
especially in the Southern States,
making the corn earworm of partic-
ular Importance in this region.
Every corn grower is familiar
with the corn earworm.A but few
realize the full extent of the loss it
occasions to the field-corn crop of
this country, which no doubt is
somewhat responsible for the ap-
parent unconcern with which it is
generally regarded. The corn ear
worm also works on cotton, where
it is known as the bullworm, on to-
bacco, and ON early tomatoes, vech,
and a variety of other plants.
Each grower Of corn, according to
the United States Department of
Agriculture, with little cost or eff
fort, may reduce his loss from ear
worm ravages by at least one half
through cultural practices alone.
II a variety of corn we'll suited to
local conditions, but having long
tight husk, is slected for planting,
the number of worms able to reach
the kernels of the ear through the
silk channel will be considerably
reduced. If this variety is planted
so as to have it silk at the most
favorable time that is, when the
moths which lay the eggs, and prefer
to lay them on silk, are the least
abundant the subsequent damages
will be less.
