What Causes Grub Worms. Entomologists or bug hunters of northern Ohio and Indiana have warned farmers against grub worms, saying that a certain species of a bug that flies in the air is distributing its eggs on the ground that are transformed into the grub before coming back to its original form and during that period as a grub worm is when its ravages are the greatest on growing crops, more especially growing corn. which the worm eats when it first starts growing. It is suggested that fall plowing for corn is best and if grubs are noticeable in wheat ground that a greater amount of seed should be sown so that the worms can have a wider range and not destroy the whole crop. It is a fixed fact, as every farmer knows by experience. that during certain years there is an excessive number of this species of grub and if there is any rule laid down to avoid their ravages on crops it will be a great advantage to the farming community.
