RMRDA8AE–. Southern field crops (exclusive of forage plants). Agriculture. Fig. 105. — An Ear of Corn INJURED BY Weevils. (W. E. Hinds.) SOUTHERN FIELD CROPS are still in the field; and later generations develop in the crib. Early varieties and those with soft grains are most susceptible to in- jury (Fig. 105). Late planting of medium or late varieties escapes injury, or reduces the number of weevils finding access to the ears in the field. Doubtless much can be done to lessen the weevil injury by selecting corn with a view to weevil resistance. The qualities tending to decrease the number of weevil, b
