Corn Borer Rampage Reported Across Wisconsin
The European corn borer, linked to about 2 million dollars in Wisconsin damage last year, is rampaging again in eastern Wisconsin. An infestation of 50 egg masses per 100 stalks, especially in Fond du Lac and Outagamie counties, has led to heavy use of DDT spray and dusting this week. Entomologist E. H. Fisher says many eggs have hatched and young borers are eating down stalks, making control difficult at this stage.
