CONTROL OF CORN EARWORM 
The ears of sweet corn are attacked by young cater¬ 
pillars which feed first on the growing silk and later 
work down into the ear, eating the kernels. Early ma¬ 
turing varieties of plants are less subject to injury from 
the caterpillars. Sweet corn may be protected by dusting 
with a combination of lead arsenate and dusting sul¬ 
phur, using equal parts of the materials. The dust 
should be applied as soon as silk forms on the develop¬ 
ing ears. It may be necessary to make several applica¬ 
tions, as the ears do not all develop at the same time.
