Much has been said of late of the influence which the cultivation of 
wheat and other grains has on the numbers and distribution of the 
Chinch Bug. Tables A, B, C, and D, here given show the acreage of 
‘each of the cereal grains in forty-eight counties for the years 1887 and 
1888. It will be observed that among the uninfested counties there are 
but four which had a greater area of small grain than of corn in 1887 
and in 1888. In 1887, in eleven of these same counties, the area of 
wheat exceeded that of corn, in six of which counties the Chinch Bug
