CORN MtlllS, ( IT WORMS.
? Italnmnt, .\>igtist >V
Sir?This season has been remarkably unpro*
pitious to our rrops of Indian Corn, which how
ever, arc far better than we could have expect
ed; and will, on the whole, be plentiful, (al
though in many parts of our country thev Iwive
been y:?ratly injured,) if wc should be favored
jytlb a mild autumn. The ravages of the Grub,
or Cut worm have been uncommonly ruinous.
In our 3d volume.281, <28*2, I mention, that the
Corn Grubs or Cut worms, are the progeny of
the Hectics (called ?.*> Kutoinologistrt, Ncarabo
cub Caruifex.) which we sec rolling balls of
cow dung to be deposited in the earth, for shel
ter of their otlspring contained in them, and
progress to the state in which they are so mis
' chievous to us. Tho holes in which the balU
are lodged arc never deeper than should lie the
farrows of good ploughing. Therefore the pre
vention of this scourge, so often deplored and
do seldom guarded against, is always in the
| 'iwcr of every provident farmer ; and if lie
will not prevent, he ought not to complain of
the injuries to which his corn crops are suhjoct.
'This preventive is fall ploughing, which ex
poses tho progress of the (Jrub to destruction,
by frosts and other inclemencies of the winter.
During a period of more, than fifty yearn, I have
been personally engaged, or constantly interest
ed in practical farming; and i can truly say,
that I never suffered any material injury from
Orubs, when I turned up my fields intended
for corn, in the fall of tho year, I always har
rowed the fallow, and previously thereto, often
rolled down tho nod. When I could procure
lime at that season or early in the spring, 1 was,
and am still, in tho Imbit of spreading it on the
corn fallow?and, although this is a sure de
stroyer of tho progeny of the beetle, yet the
effect was manifest without t)ie application of
lime. If fall ploughing yielded no other bene
fit!) (and numerous are its advantages) one
. would imagine that this would be sufficient to
tecommend its general adoption. Yet,although
tho practice has been of Into years moru coin
tnendahly attended to than formerly, it is real
ly doptorablc that it is not universally followed.
Alerely ploughing is salutary ; but tho harrow ing
And thereby completely separating the rlods,
and breaking up the nests or deposits of vermin
is equally essential. Ucsidcs the sod being thus
decomposed, and access of oil* prevented by
Itarrowing; (and if previously rolled,-the more
so,) the weeds and grav* do not vegitafo in the
spring. If undisturbed, and thny may so re
main if tho seed be shallow planted, those pests
become rotted; and assist instead of imjieding
the growth of the crop.
I have made extensive enquiries this season ;
and I have found, universally, that thone who
fall ploughed judic iousl v, escaped the Grub. In
some instances where the field was only partial
ly ploughed) or (he work ill managed, the Grub
was more or less injurious ; and I coniidcred
these as exceptions to the general fact, without
shaking the principle of the practice. In some
Delds only j?r?rtinllv fall (doughed, the superior
vigor of tho corn* is strikingly pcrceptilde.-*
JPIotighiug or tacking up * few furrows in the
spring, and leaving balks for tlio worms to free*
?Jom, may have iiartlal advantages i but this is
a miserable substitute for fall ploughing.
