Corn Borers Start Work In Cass County Egg masses were found in the early corn in Cass County around June 22. Tnis means that the moth are at work and by July 1, Corn Borers will be hatching out. It is reasonable to believe tnat a large percent age of the eggs for tne first brood will be laid cn weeds and other than corn plants, as a small percentage of the corn plants were big enough to at tract the moth to lay its eggs there. According to Clarence Schma cieke. County Agricultural agent, mom emergence is under way over most of the state. A few moths in flight have been ob served generally over tne east ern pari, of the state, but tneir numoers are not as great as tney will probably be in the next week. It appears that the delay in development during the early spring coupled with the warm numid weather during tnis week has caused the moths to begin emergence almost si multaneously a both the north and south extremes of the state. If the warm humid weather continues, the period during which the moths emerge win probably be shorter than nor mal. Tnis may result in a rapid increase in moth population and a rapid increase in egg mass count about one week la ter. If tne egg-laying period Is short, careful timing will be of much greater importance than normal. A short egg-laying period may be indicated by a rapid rise in egg mass count reaching a higher peak than would normally be experienced. It a single cnemical treatment is planned it should begin ten days after first hatching occurs under normal conditions. This ten day period may need to be shortened by as much as several days when the egg laying period apoears to be shortened it opti mum results are obtained. Do not allow yourself to be . stampeded into treatment if the eggs arc numerous and the corn is less than 35 inches tall deaf extended. Regardless of the number of moths damage may not be sufficient to justify treatment. Be especially watchful in fields where the corn is large enough to be injured and sur rouncing fields of corn are much snorter- This condition is common this year and such ! neids may attract the moth? in large numbers with a result ing concentration of corors. It is predicted that eggs will begin to appear late next week and reach considerable numbers during the week of June 25, in the eastern third of the state. If the warm humid weather continues this period may be shortened and the eggs may ap pear in numbers earlier. i A third I next week report will appear and. each week dur ing the corn borer season. This report was prepared by L. F. Be wick, Department of Entomol ogy, University of Nebraska, in cooperation with the College of Agriculture Extension Service and the Bureau of Entomology Plant Quarantine.
