fall-sown wheat was made from March 7 to April 5, covering 433 fields in 80 
counties of Indiana; 34 fields in 4 southeastern Illinois counties; 22 fields 
in 4 northwestern Ohio counties; and l4 fields in 2 south-central counties of 
Michigan. In the area, covered the 2 sections .showing the most general infesta- 
tion by the fall "brood were northwest-central and northeastern Indiana and 
adjacent counties in northwestern Ohio* In these areas many fields were 
heavily infested, with thinned stands of wheat in poor condition of growth. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 22): No serious damage to wheat is anticipated in any part 
of the State. ' r 
Indiana. C. Benton (May 22): Pupae were found throughout April. First fly emer- 
gence and egg laying occurred on April 26. The crest of fly emergence and egg 
laying, first week of May, gradually decreased until May 22. First small 
larvae found on May 3. Mostly half-grown larvae, with a few full-grown, were 
found "by May 20 in wheat. About 10 percent of overwintered puparia still con- 
tained viable larvae' not pupated on May 20. 
Kansas. E. T. Jones (May 26): Of 17 wheatfields, examined on May 24 in Geary, 
Dickinson,’ and Marion Counties Infested plants were found in 15., Based on 
samples of 50 stems each, average infestation per field was 9»7 percent, rang- 
ing from 2 to 30 percent,, with an average of 3*7 puparia per infested^ stem. 
No injury apparent. 
CHINGH BUG (Bliss us leucopterus Say) 
South Carolina. W. C. Nettles (May 22): Present but less abundant than formerly 
in Chester County. Of 10 small-grain fields surveyed, only 2 had corn planted 
adjacent, which apparently will help'protect the corn. 
Indiana. C. Benton (May 23): Spring migration to small grains started about May 
1 and was practically completed by the middle of May. First mating observed 
in the field on May 9. By May 20 more ’than 50 percent found mating. Present 
numbers found in small-grain fields near La Fayette show a few spots in thin 
winter wheat and rye, with enough old bugs to produce a ■ light- to-mode rate 
infestation with continuation of present favorable dry-field conditions. No 
eggs or nymphs were observed. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (May 26): Scattered reports of infestation are coning in. 
Infested fields widely separated in most areas, the worst infestations occur- 
ring in heavily pastured rye. 
Iowa. C.. J. Drake (May 26): Very abundant in the three southern tiers of counties 
of the State, and here and there, infestation extends into the fourth tier. 
Weather conditions favorable this spring for the bugs to move from winter 
quarters to the small-grain fields. 
Missouri. L. Hasenan (May 24): Scattered reports, particularly from west— central, 
southwestern, and northwestern Missouri, indicate some rather heavy infestations, 
but the infestation is not general throughout the State. 
G. D, Jones (May 10): Heported in considerable numbers in the southern, 
western, and northern parts of the State. Most general and heavy infestation
