| Bug Does Great Damage to Georgial
‘ Corn Crop, Says State Board i
of Entomology. ‘
Atlanta, Ga.—There’s a little black’
bug commonly known as the eorn or |
rice weevil that does as much and
perhaps a good deal more damage to |
the Georgia corn crop than any other‘
pest or disease from which it suf
fers. These weevils, says the Geor- |
gia State Board of Entomology, in a |
current bulletin, often eat up the corn |
in the crib before the mules and the
ihogs and the chickens get a good
‘chance at it. {
The presence of the corn weevil, |
the board says, is one of the great.
drawbacks to growing corn in Geor- |
gia. Bome years they are so numer-!
ous in certain localities that before
Christmas the corn is severely dam
aged, and frequently by spring theret
is nothing left of the grain but a thin |
hull. Such corn as this is hardly |
suitable to feed to any kind of ani-!
mals except perhaps to chickens,
All this loss could be avoided at!
a very little expense, says State Ento- |
mologist E. Lee Worsham, by the|
simple process of fumigation with car |
bon disulphide, a volatile liquid ob- |
tainable at any drug store. ‘
Weevil Muitiplies Rapidly, i
The corn or rice weevil, it is point- |
ed out, has a number of generaflonsf
during the year, and under favorable |
conditions multiplies very rap!dly.f
The weevils feed on the grain all win- |
ter and duritg the spring; and just |
before the corn matures in the fields |
the adult weevils leave the nearhyi
corn cribs and fly to the corn fields |
| where their eggs are weposited on the |
ripening corn. Thus, frequently when |
the corn is gathered, a large number |
of larvae—the weevil in its early!
stage-—are already in it. It has been |
observed that where the shuck coy
erg the tip of the ear, the corn is
not 8o badly infested as where the
tip is exposed.
It is & common practice in Georgla
to leave the corn in the fleld until
after frost and then “snap it leav
ing the shuck on the ear. It is sup
posed by many that the shuck pro
tects the ear from the weevils. The
board says, however, that it has been
pretty well proven frem observations
! made that this does not afford much,
if any, protection from the attacksl
of the weevil, Investigation has dis-l
cloged corn with shucks on it just as
badly damaged as corn without the
shuck. Then, too, the shuck takes
up so much space in the crib that it
is considered bad practice to leave it
on the ear. Soft corn is more sub
ject to attacks by the weewvil than
'hard corn, but there is no corn so
