The adults are found in the fields from the latter part of July until the corn silk becomes brown and dry, and often later, foodlng upon the silk and pollen. thus doing more or less damage, though sligh when cofnpared with that of the larvae. WESTERN com: ROOT worm. becoming more like a. common grub They then leave the roots, form a smai‘. oval cell in the soil, transform to pupm, and in a short time come forth as adul. beetles. The remedy is so simple and eflective that it would seem that no one ought to suffer from their injuries. As far as known they have never been injurious to corn after a previous crop of wheat, rye or barley, though the field may have been infected before that, and a crap of corn is then safe for at least two years. Thus a simple rotation, which is also to be recommended on many other grounds, is entirely effectual. Though corn is usually almost its only food, it has been recorded eating various weeds. clover, beans, cucumber and squash vines, apples of which the skin has been broken, cotton flowers, pumpkins and various fungi. The eggs are laid in the early fall; within a few inches of the base of th: stalk, from one to five inches deep in the soil. The larvae hatch from June to August, and at first eat the small root lets entire, and then commence burrow- ing under the outer layers of the larger roots. .- If on a rich loam, this causes the stalks to be easily blown over, or anal: ears and a general dwarfing of the plant if on poorer land. The adult worm is nearly White, with brown head, a little less than half an inch long, by less than one-tenth of an inch in diameter. Three pairs of short legs are found on tip. segmente immediately back of the head but otherwise the long, cylindrical bodx appears perfectly smooth to the unaided eye, though seen to have numerous hairs and bristles under the microscope Before pupation the color become.~ slightly darker and the body shortens The 12 spotted diabrotica (Diabrotica duodecem punctata, distinguished from the above by being larger and having three transverse rows of four [tack spots on the wing cov- ers), whose larva has very similar habitsand is very injurious, by eat- ing the corn roots throughout the south, has not been known to do so in the north, but is every- where exceeding- ly abundant, and the food of the adult is most va- ried. The beetle is probably best known as attack- ing squash, mel- SOUTHERN CORN 3001' on and cucumber WORM' vines, of which it eats voraciously both leaves and fruit, but has also been no- ticed as injurious to clover, cabbages, cauliflovver, beans, beets, hops. cotton, chrysanthemums and various fruit trees. .
