Remedies.

Remedial measures are obviously almost impracticable. The onslaught of the Chlorops comes usually at a time when it is difficult to deal with the corn plants in any way likely to dislodge or to destroy it. When the attack is noticed early, and this requires careful and constant observation, dressings of stimulating manure would force the plants along rapidly. But this, of course, could not be done safely or easily after they had got high. Blading, or "flagging," the plants when an attack threatened to be severe, if done promptly and before they were too far advanced, would remove many eggs.
