THE ADULT of the roiigli-headoa corn stalk-bee lie 

 is responsible for all the injury done to corn by 

 this insect. The grubs live in old, poorly drained 

 pasture land. Therefore, do not plant corn on such 

 lands the first year after tliey have been broken up. 



Plant corn early, by April 20 for tidewater Vir- 

 ginia, and earlier for more southerly States. 



Sod land intended for corn sliould be plowed the 

 last of August or the first of September the sunmier 

 before planting, to destroy the pupne of the beetles. 



Apply barnyard manure or connnercial fertilizers 

 in liberal qiuuitities wlienever practicable. 



Drain tlioroughly all low waste or pasture lands in 

 tlie vicinity of corn crops.
