Illinois W. P. Flint (September 18). "Weather during August and the first 
of September was very f avcable for the development of the second 
brood of the chinch bug. Fifty per cent or more of the bugs are 
now adults and it seems certain that much larger numbers are going 
into hibernation than was the case in the fall of 1921. Seventy- 
five per cent of the Counties in Illinois are now infested. Heaviest 
infestation occurs in the west-central part of the State «" 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (August, 192?.). "The chinch bug has not proved as 
injurious in northeastern Nebraska as had been expected. r 
Kansas J. W. McColloch (August 23). "The chinch bug occurred in damaging 
numbers throughout the eastern half of the State. Some bugs were 
found as far west as Thomas County." 
CORN EAR170RM (Heli othis obcoleta Fab . ) 
Connecticut B. G. Southwick (September 19). "Rather numerous in Hartford 
County, though not as bad as last year. A few larvae were observed 
in Hamden 2nd New Haven by Dr. Brit ton and Mr. Zappe." 
New York H. C~$-'Dell. "The corn earworm has been commonly observed in the 
plantings of sweet corn in Nassau County since the middle of August." 
E. P. Felt (September 23). "The corn ea^-worm was reported from 
several localities in the lower Hudson Valley and on Long Island. 
The damage in 1921, however, was much more severe than this year." 
Delaware C. 0. Houghton (September ll) . "This species is much less abundant 
than last year in sweet corn about Newark, yet there is considerable 
infestation in some cases." 
Illinois W. P. Flint (September 18). "This insect has been much scarcer than 
at any time during the past ten years. Tho infestation in sweet 
corn in central Illinois was carefully followed throughout the 
season and never ran over 3 or 3-f- per cent, averaging about 2 per 
cent. Moths are now appearing in greater numbers but too late to 
cause any damage to field corn." 
Wisconsin S. B. Fracker (September 15). "The outbreak of 1921 was not repeated 
this year. A single report of a few early-season individuals was 
received from Oshkosh." 
Utah I. M. Hawley (September 2). "This insect has become a serious pest 
wherever corn is grown. As high as 50 per cent of the ears are 
iinfested in some places."
