J. Davis, head ot the Purdue Entomology Department. The stalk-borer is a slender brownish or blackish and whltestriped worm which burrows in the stems of corn, tomatoes, potatoes and other thick Hemmed plants. The moths or parents of these borers lay eggs in grassy or weedy areas, especially along the borders of fields, in the fall of the year, and upon hatching in spring they «rst feed in the stems of grasses. As they grow an dbecome too large for grass stems they migrate to thickeritemnied weeds or corn or similar crops. Consequently the bordering rows of corn are first attacked. It is advisable in some cases corn is infested to pull up Or cut niff at ground the infested plants and these should be promptly burned or else carried to the barn lot and fed to cattle or chickens. Where the borors infest tomatoe • or flower garden plants, one may secure a reasonable amount of relief by hand destruction of the borer. This can be done by pinching the stalk, be ginning at a point where the larvae is feeding, or using a long wire to thrust into the burrow to kill the worm.
