a-cnt as seriously injuring corn in Northampton County. 
North Carolina. C. H. Brannon (June 27): Infestation of chinch hugs is 
generally heavy over the eastern and Piedmont sections of the State, 
for the first time in over a decade. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (June 11): Very few chinch hugs are present in the wheat 
fields and we anticipate no damage to corn. Joung hugs hatched on June 
11. 
Indiana. D. W. La Hue (June IS): A survey of Tippecanoe County shows chinch 
hugs scarce in most wheat fields. Old hugs are disappearing. All 
stages of first hrood, from eggs to f ourth-instar nymphs, are now 
present . 
Illinois. W. P. Flint' (June 22): The weather during June has "been almost 
ideal for chinch hug development. There will he no general outbreak 
in the State, hut many scattered infestations occur throughout the 
central and, particularly, the west- and southwest-central parts of 
Illinois. Fields that wcro oven lightly infested early in the season 
are producing many more hugs than in an average year. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chamhors (June 2U) • As indicated hy the survey made late 
last fall, there will apparently he little damage this summer, although 
the dry season is very favorahlc for chinch hugs. Limited serious 
outhroaks have boon ohsorved near Plum City, in Pierce County. 
Iowa. C'. J. Drake (June 2U) : Chinch hog damage is "beginning to show up in 
about 10 southern counties. In most cases the hugs will not leave the 
small-grain fields until after the grain is cut. The infestation is 
very spotted, hut a light population may he fo\md in many southern and 
southeastern counties. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (June 2'j): Prom central Missouri south the annual 
migration of chinch hugs from small grain to corn is now pretty well 
over, hut in the northern counties migration is still in full swing. 
The heavy movement of hugs during the month has hecn particularly 
noticeahle from Kansas City south to Joplin and in a northeasterly 
direction across to St. Louis and Hannibal, with some heavy epidemics 
in north-central Missouri. On some farms the hugs have hecn fully as 
ahundant as in 193^i "but heavy infostations have hecn more scattering. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swonk (June 20): Chinch hugs appeared in injurious numbers 
in the small-grain fields of Richardson County in extreme southeastern 
Nebraska early in June, and 2,000 gallons of creosote were used in three 
townships in that county hotwecn June k and June 18. No serious infes- 
tations have hecn reported outside of Richardson County. 
Kansas. H. R. 3ryson (June 23): The chinch hug infestation in the, vicinity ' 
of Manhattan is much lighter than it has hecn since 193^« I n south- 
eastern Kansas the hugs did considerable injury to the small grain on
