  suffered 
  to 
  a 
  greater 
  or

   extent,

  According 
  to 
  Professor 
  Eiley, 
  in 
  1881 
  it 
  was 
  prevalent 
  in 
  Illinois 
  and 
  

   Missouri: 
  

  

  In 
  many 
  parts 
  of 
  central 
  and 
  southern 
  Illinois 
  and 
  iu 
  Missouri 
  this 
  insect 
  has 
  been 
  

   reported 
  as 
  doing 
  considerable 
  damage, 
  many 
  farmers 
  having 
  to 
  ploTV 
  up 
  their 
  win- 
  

   ter 
  wheat 
  in 
  c'onsequence. 
  Mr. 
  Thomas 
  H. 
  B. 
  Moulder, 
  of 
  Cane 
  Pump, 
  Caruden 
  

   County, 
  Missouri, 
  sent 
  the 
  insect 
  in 
  the 
  flax-seed 
  state, 
  the 
  latter 
  part 
  of 
  June, 
  with 
  

   the 
  statement 
  that 
  he 
  had 
  forty 
  acres 
  of 
  wheat 
  which 
  all 
  fell 
  or 
  broke 
  down 
  about 
  

   two 
  weeks 
  before 
  ripening, 
  from 
  the 
  insect's 
  injuries. 
  The 
  western 
  agricultural 
  

   papers 
  have 
  had 
  abundant 
  notices 
  of 
  the 
  Hessian 
  Fly 
  this 
  season, 
  but 
  as 
  our 
  eastern 
  

   teutomologists, 
  as 
  a 
  rule, 
  do 
  not 
  see 
  those 
  journals, 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  than 
  probable 
  that 
  this 
  

   year 
  would 
  be 
  put 
  down 
  by 
  them 
  as 
  one 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  species 
  was 
  not 
  heard 
  of 
  or 
  

   known. 
  The 
  present 
  year 
  is, 
  however, 
  not 
  excex)tional, 
  and 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  injury 
  has 
  

   been 
  done 
  by 
  this 
  insect 
  in 
  the 
  West 
  every 
  year 
  since 
  we 
  have 
  given 
  any 
  attention 
  

   to 
  entomology.
