Eight years ago damage was onl} about $7,000,000.

Plant varieties of corn recom- mended for respective communities. Locally adapted hybrids can be ex- pected to give highest yields and quality. 3. Plant on dates recommended by agricultural agents. 4. Look for eggs laid by corn torer moth on the underside of leaves on tallest corn and, start in- secticide treatment as soon as eggs begin to hatch. (Frequent examina- tions are recommended in May, June and July.) 5. Use insecticides when it is determined they will be profitable. (County agricultural agents are pre- pared to advise on what, when and how to use.) The corn borer, which usually be- comes about an inch long, begins as an egg laid by a moth and him- self becomes a moth after he has done his boring damage. Hatched as a tiny worm, he tunnels his way into the staik which usually weak- ens and breaks. He feasts, too, on the ears of the corn, even gnawing the cob. As he nears matumy he bores in- to the stalk and spins a thin co- coon about himself, becomes a pupa and emerges later as a moth. P P oo oo e n 1940 U.
