Fight on Farmer's Foe, Worms
By A. F. Mahan
WASHINGTON A worm is
Public Enemy No. 1 to the De
partment of Agriculture.
ii It is tMKuropean corn borer,
which caused an estimated $97,
000,000 damage in 28 states last
year. Eight years ago damage was
only about $7,000,000.
So far the borer has defied all
efforts to check its spread, but the
' Department has mapped a five
point control program ' which it
hopes to see put into operation
on a community-by-community ba
sis this year.
The boll weevil, experts say,
never posed a greater threat to
cotton than the borer to corn. Be
sides, com is planted on- more
acreage, is worth more in dollars
and has a greater diversity of by
products than any other two crops
combined.
Damage caused by the borer in
creased by 1943 to $33,000,000 and
in 1946 to $37,000,000. Dr. P. N.
Annand, chief of the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine,
says an "intensified effort calling
for the all-out cooperation of all
farmers with state and federal
agencies is necessary if the insect
is to be brought under control and
its damage checked.
The corn borer first was dis
covered in the United States in
1917. It caused severe damage that
year to sweet corn around Boston.
Annand says evidence indicates
the worm was imported from Hun
gary or Italy between 1909 and
1914. before any quarantine in
spection service had been author
ized at ports.
By 1940 it had spread to states
bordering the Great Lakes, gone
north into Maine and moved south
ward along the Atlantic Coast to
Virginia.
Today it is found in 1,052 coun
ties in 28 states. 94 counties in
11 states reported new infestations
last year. Now it infests parts of
North Carolina and Tennessee and
has moved as far ar-North and

South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas. Many states are planning com
munity meetings to spread up-to-date
information on control me
thods. The Department of Agriculture
suggests these:
1. Plow under old corn stalks
and stubble, shred or ensilage corn
stalks used for feed, destroy corn
remnants in barnyards and else
where.
2. Plant varieties of corn re
commended for respective com
munities. Locally adapted hybrids
can be expected to give highest
yields and quality.
3. Plant on dates recommended
by agricultural agents.
4. Look for eggs laid by corn
moth on the underside of leaves
on tallest, corn and start insecti
cide treatment as soon as eggs
begin to hatch. (Frequent exami
nations are recommended in May,
June and July.
5. Use insecticides when it is
determined they will be profit
able. (County agricultural agents
are prepared to advise on what,
when and how to use.)
The corn borer, which usually
becomes about an inch long, be
gins as an egg laid by a moth and
himself becomes a moth after he
has done his boring damage.
Hatched as a tiny worm, he tun
nels his way into thesatlk which
usually weakens and breaks. He
feasts, too, on the ears of the corn,
even gnawing the cob.
As he nears maturity he bores
into the stalk and spins a thin
cocoon about himself, becomes a
pupa and emerges later as a moth.

would not withdraw. Later a Rus
