Excerpt from The More Important Insect Injuries to Indian Corn: General Introduction to the Subject, and Discussion of Insects Injurious to the Plant Above Ground Thus we may say that with the exception of the ear the whole plant lies open and free to insect depredation, and that it is able to maintain itself in the midst of its entomological dependents only by virtue of its unusual power of vigorous, rapid, and superabundant growth. Like every other plant which is normally subject to a regular drain upon its substance from insect injury, it must grow a surplus necessary for no other purpose than to appease its enemies; and this, in a favorable season, the corn plant does with an energetic profusion unexampled among our cultivated plants. 'insects, indeed, grow rapidly as a rule, but soon reach their full size.
