CORN CROP CUT
IN PRODUCTION
European Corn-BOrer is New
Crop Running Pest in Della
ware; in All Counties
REMEDY is OFFERED

Answering calls from Delaware
farmers asking for information
about a small, white worm eating
their corn during the past three
summers, DR.. L. A. Stearns, entom-
ologist for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, reveals
that the bug is the European corn
borer.
The European corn borer is re-
latively new crop-ruining pest in
Delaware. 1t was discovered and
identified positively for the first
time in Sussex County during the
summer of 1884. When a State
wide survey was made in 1889, the
borer was also found in Kent and
New Castle Counties.
Injury by borers results from
tunneling and feeding within the
stalk, ears, tassel, midrib of the
leaf, brace roots, stubble and prac-
tically all parts of the corn plant
except the fibrous roots. They al
so feed to slight extent upon the
surface of the plant, particularly
upon the leaf blades, tassel buds,
husks and silks of the ear, and leaf
sheaths. The type of injury in
fiicted by the borer apparently de-
ponds upon the stage of develop
ment of the corn plant when at
tackled and on the weather condi-
lions.
Since borers spend the winter in
corn stubble and fodder, DR..
Stearns is suggesting that corn
should be cut as low and as early
as possible. Then to make sure
that the borers in the fodder are
killed, he is telling farmers to feed
the fodder to livestock directly or
to make it into silage. Flowing
under of corn stubble in the fall or
early spring is another important
way to keep down borer damage
Stubble breeders are developing
corn hybrids that may be entirely
or partially resistant to the des-
tructive action of the borers Tests
will be conducted in Delaware to
determine those hybrids which ap-
pear most promising.
