* Counties marked with asterisk (*) are those in which Chinch Bugs have been reported in destruct- 

 ive numbers. 



Much lias 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
