There is no doubt that the insoet could not be so widely distributed or abundant unless it had been here for geveral years.

Injury is done chiefiy by the larvae Be Lore i burrowing into the canes and ecaus- ing them to break over with the wind; tassels especially break over easily. A further injury is due to larvae feeding upon the kernels in the ears and by disease, especially in wet, warm weather, entering through the holes, both in ears and stalks, and Although all kinds of corn are attacked, 'table and fint varieties suffer most and dent least.
