Rouge approximately every week" and the plants from each planting are ex- 
amined approximately two weeks after the seed is planted. The first 
planting made on March 3 showed little root worn damage when observations 
were made on March 15, though subsequent damage was done to the plants. 
Larvae were very numerous in tr.e planting of 'March 10, when examined 
march 23, as many as 20 being taken from one hill, and the first pupa ' 
was taken on this date. In the planting of March 16, examined on March 
29, approximately as many larvae, were found, as were taken on March 25, 
from the planting of March 10, but many stalks had been killed before 
reaching the surface of the soil ; a fact not so generally true in the 
earlier planting.
