SEED-CORN MAGGOT. {Hylemyia cilicrura Rond.) During the past season a rather remarkable outbreak of the seed- corn maggot attacking the seed pieces of early planted potatoes oc- curred along the Atlantic Fig. 21.—Map indicating sequence of reports of destructive abundance of the seed-corn maggot in the United States in 1921. Early in April the first report was received from North Carolina, the outbreak being reported as both severe and extremely unusual, 50 per cent of the early planted crop in the Beaufort district having been destroyed, many of the fields so seriously damaged as to neces- sitate replanting, and others abandoned. The infested area in- cluded the region bounded by a line extending along the northern border of Dare and Tyrrell Counties, across the center of Bertie and southeastern corner of Halifax Counties, thence southward across Edgecombe and Wilson Counties, the western third of Greene County, the middle of Lenoir County and eastward across the upper third.
