The USDA notes corn earworm, housefly, and mosquito head were the top named pests in state reports for 1957. Plant mites, European corn borer, aphids, and grasshoppers also ranked high among important pests.
The Foreign Agricultural Service estimates Canada shelled corn production at 296 million bushels in 1957, second only to 315 million in 1955 and 59 percent above the 10 year average. The piece also surveys widespread crop and livestock pests across the United States, from boll weevils and aphids to leafhoppers and the stable fly, noting regional prevalence and impacts on crops and livestock.
The rise stems from greater use of higher yield hybrid varieties and expansion in acreage over the past three years.
