  Yery

  Half 
  of 
  the 
  counties 
  of 
  Indiana 
  mention 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  the 
  insect; 
  in 
  

   most 
  the 
  damage 
  is 
  not 
  material 
  ; 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  it 
  amounts 
  to 
  5 
  or 
  ten

  badly 
  injured; 
  in 
  

   Carroll 
  and 
  Bartholomew 
  the 
  early 
  sown 
  sufl'ered 
  considerably. 
  

  

  Illinois 
  is 
  represented 
  to 
  be 
  substantially 
  exempt 
  from 
  injuries 
  by 
  the 
  

   fly. 
  "Kone 
  '' 
  and 
  "very 
  little" 
  are 
  almost 
  universal 
  answers 
  to 
  the 
  in- 
  

   quiry. 
  Coles 
  County 
  estimates 
  a 
  damage 
  of 
  5 
  per 
  cent., 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  others 
  

   still 
  less. 
  Missouri 
  and 
  Kansas 
  have 
  been 
  equally 
  free 
  from 
  its 
  vis- 
  

   itation. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  year 
  also

  have 
  

   been 
  generally 
  destructive 
  in 
  the 
  Province 
  of 
  Ontario, 
  Canada. 
  

  

  A

  of 
  the 
  Ontario 
  Entomological

  After 
  the 
  transaction 
  of 
  the 
  routine 
  business, 
  

   the 
  president, 
  Mr. 
  William 
  Saunders, 
  of 
  London, 
  Ontano, 
  delivered 
  his 
  annual 
  

   address, 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  prevalence 
  of 
  the 
  Hessian 
  Fly 
  in 
  the 
  

   Province 
  of 
  Ontario 
  during 
  the 
  i)ast 
  season, 
  inflicting 
  a 
  loss 
  on 
  the 
  agricultural 
  com-
