THE CORN EAR WORM

Sweet corn has but few insect pests,
but, unfortunately, these few are very
serious. For Washington gardeners the
ear worm is at present the most Seri-
Gus insect enemy Of corn. This is the
worm, or more often worms. that one
finds when huSking the ears in prepa-
ration for use.
Most people open the ears with a
good deal of hesitation, not knowing
Just what lies within. The life history
Of the corn ear worm is relatively SIM
pie. The adult butterflies deposit their
eggs on the young silk. Here the young
worms hatch and feed for time,
travelling toward the ear itself. During
this brief period of silk feeding the

So pugnacious is the corn ear worm

Ia find two or three worms in single

niverouS feeder and has been found on
many plants both wild and cultivated.
The corn ear worm occurs on cotton,
where ii is known as the boil worm
and on the tomato. where it is called
the tomato fruit worm. Alfalfa, to-

Its feeding plants.

The seed is rather expensive In the
better varieties, but there is such a
tremendous difference between varieties
that il pays to pay the difference. The
large Powered types are especially costly,
but no one would compare them with
the old small-fiowered varieties. Again
the seeds are so fine that small packet
yields large number of plants. The
seeds should be sown rather thinly with
view to giving each seeding an OPP
portunity, and as son as the young
plants can be handled they should be
tranSplanted to stand about 2 inches
apart.

success In the Department of Agri-
culture beds thin layer of old rotted
manure is placed about the plants in

a question. but it does benefit the plants
