'•V. P. Flint (May 17): Eggs of the Hessian fly were' found 
in considerable numbers in wheat fields during the week of April 
22, in central Illinois. Flies were observed ovipositing at 
several points in the State during this week. 
..'inter wheat has been killed out to such an extent that in 
many localities there will rot be a field of winter wheat for 
several miles. This possibility will have some effect in reducing 
numbers of the fly next fall. 
J. ',T. McColloch (May 22): Dr. E. G. Kelly tells me that in 
his work over the State he finds that there is quite a bit of 
i infestation by the Hessian fly, but that the infestation is spot- 
ted, due probably to the snows and sudden drops in temperature 
in April. 
M, H. Swenk (April 15-M a y 15): Reports from Saunders County 
received early in May indicate that there is a general, but not 
heavy, infestation with the Hessian fly in that county this spring. 
CHINCH BUG ( Blissus leucopterus Say) 
J. H» Bigger (May 11): Surveys in several counties indicate 
generally slight damage to be expected in the central part of 
the State, Occasional fields show enough bugs to cause local 
damage. Adults are flying, 
GREEN BUG ( Toxootera ^raminum Rond, ) 
J* Wg McColloch (May 22): There seems to be a general infesta- 
tion of the green bug throughout central Kansas, but there has 
been very little actual injury. A few fields in the neighbor- 
hood of Lindsburg are reported to have suffered some loss. 
LSAFHOPPEKS ( Del toceohnlus balli V a n D. and 
' A°-allia sanruinolenta Pro v. ) 
M. H, S-enk (April 15-May 15): From southwestern Nebraska 
reports have be- n i ved during Li te April and e I ; y 
of ah aburdance of leafhoppers in the '-inter wheat field . 
The attack of these insects, supplemented by the effects of I 
prevailing dry weather, has resulted in considerable damage in 
some fields, to some loss of the plants. In Keith County 
the . ipecies was found to be Deltocephalus bal 1 i . 
In Hitchcock County v railing sp ciea was ftgallia 
iguinolenta .
