the injury done to wheat sown after that date is very slight indeed, and 

 probably in most eases would not be noticed were it not known that the 

 fly was in the neighboring" fields. 



In view of the above facts it would seem but reasonable to suppose 

 that, unless some unforeseen condition arises before the spring brood 

 develops, the wheat crop in Indiana for 1903 will be cut short to a very 

 considerable extent. 



A newspaper bulletin containing the above facts has been sent to all 

 newspapers in the State, and other information has been given whenever 

 opportunity offered. 



The accompanying map shows the distribution of the Hessian fly by 

 counties. Those counties containing the large black dot are the ones 

 reporting the fly.
