H. E. Jaques (March 21); In the southeastern part of the State 
chinch hugs are fairly abundant. 
Oklahoma. R. G. Dahms (March 26): There was a rather heavy flight of 
chinch hugs from winter quarters to small. grains on March 25, when 
the temperature reached 82° E. Only a very few hugs had -migrated 
prior to that date, although the temperature reached 85° on March 20 
and 21. (Reported from the State Field Station at Lawton, Comanche 
Co .miry;, southwestern Okla. ) 
GREEN BUG ( Toxoptera gr ami man Rond. ) 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (March. 25) 5 A local outbreak of this pest was ob- 
served 10 miles southeast of Stillwater, in Payne County. The spots 
range in area from a few square feet to 20. Some winged forms were 
observed. Ladybeetle larvae are very numerous nnd under favorable 
conditions should check the outbreak. 
R. G. Dahms (March 26): .The green bug has done considerable 
damage in a few wheatfields in the southwestern part of the State. 
Texas. E. L» Thomas (March 21): Green bugs were reported as doing con- 
siderable damage to wheat in Hale, Floyd, and Eisher Counties in 
northwestern Texas, on March 18. 
HESSIAN*. .ELY ( Phytophaga destructor Say) 
Missouri. E. T. Jones (March): Survey of select fields in five south 
western counties revealed infestation in 33 percent of the fields 
examined. Infestations ranged from 8 to 18 percent, with low in- 
tenaity. Greatest infestation was" found in Greene County, where 86 
percent of overwintering larvae had pupated on March l6. 
Kansas. J. R. Horton (March 10) : An unusually mild winter start.ed de- 
velopment of the hessian fly during the first half of February, as 
indicated by a little pupation and emergence. Examinations up to 
February 18, when interrupted by snow and colder weather, showed 
about 1.5 percent living pupae and about 1.5 percent emergence. On 
February 18-19 snow fell, covering the ground to a depth of 9 inches 
and finally disappearing on February 27. No damage was done to the 
fly, unless to the negligible percentage that had passed beyond the 
larval stage. 
E. T. Jones (March) : Survey of the infestation of select fields in 
10 southeastern Kansas counties was made on March 12-16. Light infes- 
tations, ranging from 2 to 20 percent, with low puparia intensity, 
were found in 50 percent of the fields. Highest infestations were
