Mr. Georg' Class reports that a
strange black bug is doing great dam-
age to the corn crop. At first Mr.
Class was of the opinion that the corn
was dying from the dry weather, but
upon examination he discovered that
these bugs were doing the damage.
He states that under every hill he
found all the way from one to twenty-
one of the bugs. They imbed them-
selves just above the roots and cut
the corn stalk down Just below the
ground. Mr. Class was exhibiting a
large number of the bugs here Wed-
