Grain pourrissant est sans aucun doute préféré. Il a occa- titre provisoire été vu à infester les grains qui avaient commencé à se développer.

. The book of corn;. Corn. 250 THE BOOK OF CORN When the spring- is cool and wet after corn plant- ing, so that the softened seed lies long in the ground without sprouting, it is especially liable to certain kinds of injury, and it is under these conditions that the black-headed maggot seems most likely to afifect it. Rotting grain is undoubtedly preferred. It has occa- sionally been seen to infest kernels that had begun to grow. It lives normally in old sod, feeding chiefly on decaying vegetation there, and will be found in notice- able numbers in corn fields only where the field was in grass the preceding year. These maggots penetrate and hollow out the kernel, often leaving nothing more. o Fig 61—Seed Com Injured by Seed Com Maggot (After Forbes) than an empty hull. Several of them may infest a single grain. They are slender, footless white mag- gots, except that the head is jet black, about one-third of an inch long when full grown and of nearly uni- form diameter throughout. The body is soft and flexible and the movements of the maggot are slug- gish. The species is very common. In his observations, Professor F. H. Chittenden of the United States department of agriculture says that one of the best means of deterring the parent flies from depositing their eggs consists in sand soaked in kerosene, one cupful to a bucket of dry sand, placed at the base of the plants, along the rows. This also kills young larvae that might attempt to work through the mixture. Fertilizers, preferably kainit and nitrat3.
