Indiana C. M. Packard (March): Considerable -oupation took place in 
early and late March at Lafayette. High mortality of the early 
March, pupae occurred owing to cold weather March 7-24. No 
emergence of adults. 
Illinois J. H. Bigger (April): Examinations on April 19 indicated 90 
per cent survival in v est-central Illinois. Approximately 
75-80 per cent pupation has occurred at this time. Some emer-f- 
ence has taken place. Sggs are moderately abundant. 
Tennessee C. Benton (March): Pupation increased gradually at Fayette- 
ville until by March 26 about half the puparia contained pu- 
pae. There was slight emergence of adults and oviposition 
on March 1-5 and 24-30. First small larvae were found March 
20. A few half-grown larvae were present March 25-30.

Nebraska M. H. Swenk (March 20 to April 20): During the period here 
covered additional instances of heavy infestation of winter 
wheat fields came to our attention, all of them, however, 
within the area of infestation outlined in my report for the las 
issue of the Insect Pest Survey Bulletin. 
CHINCH BUG ( Blissus leucopterus Say) 
Illinois W. P. Flint (April): There have been scattered and rather 
light flights of chinch bugs on several of the warm days this 
springy although there are still many bugs in hibernation. A 
light flight occurred on April 2, which was probably the 
first one this year. 
J. H. Bigger (March 26): All central counties expect severe 
damage from chinch bugs in 1932. Some damage is likely to 
occur in all counties from a line extending from Rock Island 
to Kankakee on the north to Murohysboro and Carbondale on the 
south. (April): The chinch bug is very abundant. A flight 
occurred April 4. 
Missouri L. Baseman (April 25): The chinch bug situation is threaten-
