Arkansas. W. J. Baerg (May 9). "Chinch hugs in this State will prohahly he 
confined to the northwestern corner of the State, extending south 
as far as Crawford County and east as far as Carrol County. The 
outbreak will probably be very slight." 
Missouri. A. J. Burrill (March 17). "Chinch bugs unusually numerous in 
Scott, Newton, and Jasper Counties. Wo flight seen or indicated. 
In Scott County the chinch bugs were moving out of fence rows on 
March 15 and 16 into the corn stubble." 
HiSSIAN FLY ( Phyt ophaga destructor Say. ) 
Worth Carolina- Franklin Sherman (May 2). "Damage by this insect has been re- 
ported by a correspordent from Guilford County. Crop reports to 
statisticians also mention the Hessian fly, but it is evidently not 
worse than such outbreaks usually are." 
South G* D. Robertson, County Agent of Barnwell County. "In February 
Carolina. wheat was a failure, from the effects of Hessian fly over the en- 
tire count yo" 
Minnesota. C. N. Ainslie (May 20). "Quite a number of winter wheat fields 
were looked at carefully, but I could find no trace of Hessian fly 
in any of them. Some dipterous (?) larvae had killed some of the 
tillers but the pest, whatever it was, had left." 
Ohio. Ho A. Gossard (May 17). "Preliminary investigations regarding 
Hessian fly lead us to forecast an infestation of not more than 
50 per cent at harvest time in the worst infested fields and the 
average will be much lover than this. Some of the progeny of the 
spring brood have already reached the "flaxseed" stage. Eggs were 
still being laid at Sandusky, May 17." 
Indiana. J. J. Lavis (May 17). ''Hessian fly abundant wherever observations 
have been jade in the southern end of the State. The infestation 
ranges up to 99 per cent of the stalks infested, and there the 
majority are now in the "flaxseed" stage. At Lafayette the fly is 
also abundant and there are two distirct sizes of larvae, one nearly 
mature. These are more often to be found in the small dead tillers 
Others very small, probably not many days old, often occur in the 
larger stalks which have not yet been sufficiently injured to be 
evident. The infestation at Lafayette ranges from 50 per cent to 
90 per cent. No observations have yet been made in the northern 
end of Indiana. There is every evidence that the fly will be very 
abundant this coming fall."
