WARNS AGAINST
WORK OF CORN
STALK BORER
By D. E. CREIGHTON
Assistant Farm Advisor

In few fields of sandy soil
which produced q wheat crop and
are now planted to milo are to be
found caterpiilars or greenish band
ed worms Of the Lesser Corn Stalk
Borer. These worms hatch from an
egg, which is deposited in the SOIL
in about eight hours. The worm in
ITS search for food will eat rootlets
Of corn. milo. sorghums. sudan
wheat, cowpeas, and probably vari
Ous other plants. Soon after find
ing a rootlct to allay its appetite
it starts its search for sweeter por-
tions of the plant. This leads it to
the crown or joint between roots
and stalk where it borcs through
the node and eats out the crown
bud thus killing the shoot.
Damage is little noticed in wheat,
cowpeas and sudan, but in milo or
corn which in its early stages has
but a single stalk is killed in very
short order and fields may be
wiped ont in a few days time.
The moth of this pest is grayish
brown in color, the fore pair of
wings of the female are brown, the
rear pair gray. The wing spread
is about one inch.
The worm attains maximum size
Of about l-l6' diameter and 81 y
in length. In reaching this size it
may destroy quite Il number Of
Young corn plants. 1t spends about
q week in this stage. The third or
pupa stage varies from 4 week to
several months and may be most
commonly found in piles of trash,
fence rows, and weeds or III the
soil. Four generations may be pro
duced in a single season.
What To Do
Possibly the best precautions are
to plant thickly. cultivate eleanlv.
