Missouri A, C.Burrill (Juno 17). "The chinch bug is much loss serious 
than usual. A hoavy downfall of rain about three weeks ago 
seoms to have wiped out an outbreak that was very threatening," 
Mississippi R, W. Earned (Jun3 17). "More complaints than usual were 
received during the past two months in regard to the chinch 
bug. Most of those complaints, however, came from the Delta 
section of th3 State, The abundance of theso insects is 
probably duo to tho fact that wo had an exceedingly dry summer 
and fall during 1921. ? 
Kansas E. G. Kelly (June 16), "Eggs are now hatching. Many oggs 
w3ro d3posit3d on corn this year, which is an unua'aal condition 
in this State. Wheat cutting is now und3r way and bugs are 
moving into tho corn. No serious damage has been reported 
as yot. Howevsr, corn is unusually small for this season 
of tho yoar and d image may be expected," 
J. W. McColloch (Juno 20). "There is a largo amount of injury 
to young corn and sorghum by chinch bugs throughout tho oastorn 
third of tho Stat3, This injury is rather unusual for this 
time of tho yoar. The cool woather which prevailed during tho 
early spring held chinch bugs in their winter quarters and 
gave wheat a hoavy growth. Chinch bugs, on moving from winter 
quarters, sottled on young corn and sorghum and in many cases 
have ruined ontire fields. Young bug3 arc hatching at tho 
present time in large numbers."

earworm. "

on June 13." 
Tennessee S. Marcovitch (Juno 8). "Found 3ggs and larvae on tomatoes 
in sovoral localities in wostorn Tonnesseo. Some worms are 
alroady full grown and considerable injury is showing up. 
Several truckers are spraying and tho rosults are being 
watchod." 
Alabama W. E. Hinds (June 19). "The roastigg earworm or cotton 
bollworm app3ars unusually abundant and damage to corn and cotton 
is lik3ly to be more than usual. Tomatoes aro now suffering 
from the attack of this species."
