SECTION TWO—l
Wm,_
Some of you sweet com growers,
may be looking forward to the satis- j
faction and joy that will be yours
when you sink your teeth in the first
tender ears.
Perhaps the com ear worms are
also looking frward to that time —and
they usually get there first. However,
they can be effectively controlled with
very little trouble. For small gar
dens it is probably sufficient and easi
est to dust the silks of the corn with
5 per cent DDT. The dust should
be applied directly to the silks when
about three-fourths of the silks are I
showing and again when a few of
them begin to turn brown.
The moth lays the eggs on the silks
and when they hatch out the small
corn ear worm feeds there before he
eats into the ear itself. For large
plantings a power sprayer should be
used and a DDT-mineral oil emulsion
is recommended by our entmologists.
This spray has been found to be very
effective for the control of the ear
worm. There is a special self-propell-'
