We have the un-luck to have gotten corn flea beetles in what was
absolutely beautiful corn. I have visited many websites on this problem
but I am not finding any way to control them or the disease they cause.
It just says to plant resistent varieties next year. Is it true
there is no control for them? Shall we just give up on the corn?

no you don't have to give up on your corn. Just make sure you water your corn
every day and use mulch


Are flea beetles a problem caused by not enough water then?
