east of a lino extending from southwestern Missouri in a northeasterly di- 
rection to near the middle of the State on the Iowa "border. Some fields 
of "barley have been completely destroyed and damage was serious to fields 
of wheat, timothy, and alfalfa, also to meadows and pastures. The larvae, 
began maturing about June 10 and from Juno 15 to 22 the air was filled 
with moths on cloudy days and toward sundown, as well as during the night. 
As in the past, most of the moths have moved out presumably northward and 
are likely to cause an outbreak in Northern States in July, The moths were 
still abundant on the night of June 22 at Columbia, '

South Carolina. F. Sherman and W. C. Nettles (June 2l): The chinch bug has 
been abundant in York, Chester, and Lancaster Counties in the north-cen-

at Livingston, on the western border of the State near the center. 
Mississippi, C. Lyle (June 2^): J. P. Kislanko reported chinch bugs injuring 
corn at Laurel on June 11. A complaint of damage was received from Soso 
on June 21. A light infestation was reported on corn at Duron t by 
D. 71, _ Grimes. 
Ohio. T. H, Parks (June 2U): Heavy rains throughout June have greatly lessened 
the chances of chinch bug injury. We have a report from only one county 
where the bugs are said to be rather abundant. Before the rains they 
were rather common in some fields of wheat and spring barley. The new 
brood began hatching during the second week of June.

numbers from many places in the western two tiers of counties from Greene

quired to protect corn.
