SPREAD OF THE
EUROPEAN CORN
BORER IN MAINE

The spread of the European corn
borer in the New England states
since July. 1919, is well illustrated
by chart which has just been put
up in the Department Of Agriculture.
BY the use of different colors, the
chart shows how this pest since it
was brought into Massachusetts
from Southern Europe, has gradual
ly spread until it has reached Maine
and has become a menace which
farmers must work hard to prevent
killing their garden products.
The area of attack in Maine is
largely confined to the southern sec
ton. 1t is pointed out by the chart
that this pest feeds not only on
corn. but on all vegetables, weeds
and some sedges and grasses. The
only known means of fighting it are
clean cultivating, fire and late fall
blowing.
Stereopticon slides have been pre-
pared to be used in connection with
lectures on the subject, showing the
borer as it makes it's way into vege-
tables and the manner in which the
pest may. be fought most effectively.
