Corn Rootworm
Is Insect Foe
One of the American far-
mer’s most formidable insect
foes is the corn rootworm.
It has cost Corn Belt far-
mers untold millions in lost
crops and reduced corn
yields. The three species of
rootworm (Southern, North-
ern and Western) feed on
corn roots, denying the plant
moisture and nutrients. The
adult beetles eat the silks,
interfering with pollination.
Since 1961, the Western
rootwarm has inereased rap-
idly; its resistance to insecti-
cides began to show up as
early as 1959 in Nebraska.
Where aldrin or heptachlor
have been used in continuous
corn for seven or more years
the rootworm is developing
resistance.
An article in the current
issue of the Farm Quarterly
details the rootworm men-
ace and the various ways of
eombating it. The article
points out that fields which
had no root damage last
L year, but were infested with
adult Western corm roet-
worm beetles, may be infest-
ed with resistant rootworm
this year, especially if some
‘resistance populations were
reported in the area.
According to the Farm
Quarterly article, amy prac-
tice which promotes good
root systems such as proper
fertilization and thorough
seedbed preparation will pro-
vide some defense against
all rootworms. Farmers are
urged to plant as early as
possible so roots will get a
head start on the rootworms.
Earlier silking also prevents
heavy adult beetle damage.
Hilling up corn plants gives
brace roots better anchorage.

HAROLD E. KECK
The body of Harold Keck,
forty-four, 139 E. High St,
Maytown, was found washed
ashore from the Chesapeake
Bay near Stevensville, Md.
Friday night, June 18.
Keck fell from a boat on
June 12, and had been the
object of a search since that
time. The point where the
body came ashore was three
miles from where he fell in-
to the water.
Keck was born
County, the son of Charles
Keck, Bainbridge R1, and
the late Edna Balmer Keck.
He was employed as an auto-
mobile mechanic at the U. S.
Army Depot, New Cumber-
land.
He was a veteran of World
War II, having served in the
U.S. Navy. He was a mems-
ber of LOOM 597, Elizabeth-
town and the Libhart-Dyer
Post 197, American Legion,
Bainbridge.
In addition to his father,
he is survived by his wife,
Virgie Viola Flowers Keck; a
son, Harold E. Keck, and a
daughter, both of Maytown.
He also is survived by
three grandchildren and five
brothers and sisters: Elmer,
William and Miss Betty P.
Keck, all of Bainbridge R1;
Frances, wife of Lloyd C.
Mapp, and Margaret, wife of
Martin Camp, both of Bain-
bridge.
Services were held Mon-
day from the M. Hawthorn
Miller funeral home in Bain-
bridge and burial was made

| ter after reot damage has oe
curred will speed plant re
covery.
Crop rotation can help
control rootworm. There is
evidence that damage is less
in corn that follows any oth-
er weed-free crop. Root-
worms find their most favor
ed conditions when corn fol-
lows corn.
The Farm Quarterly artie-
le ends on the optimistic
note that a combination of
new chemicals and resistant
thybrids will keep farmers at
least one jump ahead of the
jrootworm threat.
