The same counties as surveyed last year were again surveyed this 
season. Last year this region showed a 5.9 per cent infestation 
of straw, whereas this year the average infestation was only 1.5 
per cent. 
Illinois W. P. Hint (August 18): The annual wheat insect survey has "been 
conducted in Illinois during the first two weeks of August. Examin- 
ations were made in 37 of the principal wheat-growing counties in 
the State. This survey showed a heavy infestation hy the Hessian 
fly in wheat stubble in the central counties of the State, with a 
moderate to light infestation in the north, and a light to very 
light infestation in the extreme south. Parasitism varied from 
12 to over 50 per cent. Very little volunteer wheat was found 
in any part of the State. All fly found were in the puparia. 
In central Illinois the increase in infestation is quite marked 
over that of last year with but little change in the northern and 
southern parts of the State. Apparently emergence will take place 
at about the normal time if the present rains continue. 
Kansas ^f, W. McColloch (August 18): The results of a recent Hessian fly 
Survey based on reports made by 604 farmers show that at least 30 
per cent of the total wheat acreage of the State was infested. 
The eastern third of the State showed infestation running from 3 
to over 60 per cent. The heaviest infestation was in the central 
and west-central counties where the infestation ran from 60 to as 
high as 97 per cent. In the eastern quarter of the State damage 
ran from ■ 1,000 to 100,000 bushels to the county, whereas in the 
heavily infested region in Kansas infestation ran from 500,000 to 
over 1,000,000 bushels to the county. Reports from 21 counties 
give a grand total of 6, 538,000 bushels loss £'ae to this infesta- 
tion.

and Divide Counties to spring wheat havebeen received.

Illinois W. P. Flint (August 18): The wheat insect survey has shown the 
join two rm confined very largely to the same areas of the State 
where it was present in 1924. The infestation has increased 
slightly in the northwest central and southern counties. ->$$$ kR0
