GREEN BUG- ( Toxoiotera graminum Bond.) 
Mississippi R. ¥. Earned (March 28): About March 16, A. L. Hamner spent 
30 minutes searching for the green "bug in an oat field at 
A. & M. College, Miss. , out none were found. 
Missouri I. Haseman (March 10): We have made no '-heat survey, and the 
green hug has not "been reported "by any growers. 
Oklahoma C. E. Sanborn (March 18): The green hug is increasing its "boundary 
line of infestation. Data from both Federal and State entomolo- 
gists indicate that its heaviest infestation lies in the country 
north of Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex. A great deal of small grain 
has already been plowed under because of damage by the green 
bug. The infestation in Oklahoma lies north and ^est^ard from 
the infestation in Texas, extending from within Love County west- 
ward to within Cotton County, thence northward into Kingfisher 
County. Very recently parasites have been noticed. Indications 
are that the i testation "-ill become rather severe before para- 
sites can develop to such an extent as to bring it under subjection 
PLAINS FALSE WIREWORM- ( Eleodes opaca Say) 
Kansas J. W.McColloch (March 20): Reports of false wireworm injury to 
,,7 heat have been received during the past two ^eeks from Quinter, 
Jennings, Syracuse, and Salina. At Syracuse thousands of acres 
of wheat have been destroyed. All reports are from areas where 
there was little rain last fall and where much of the seed failed 
to germinate. 
CORN 
EUROPEAN CORN 30 PER (Pyrausta nubilalis Kbn. ) 
The $10,000,000 European corn borer campaini began March 14, 
The infested area now includes about 60,000,000 acres. 
The purpose of the campaign is to clean up the borer as far 
as possible in the infested area and to present the serious 
damage to the corn crop in Illinois, Iowa, and other Corn Belt 
States that -ould result from its farther spread. In the clean- 
up, the cornstalks either will be gathered and burned or plowed 
under cleanly, care being taken not to clrag any debris to the 
surface afterwards. Corn stubble ,T, ill be destroyed ,T7 ith a stubble 
pulverizer. All cornstalks, pieces of cornstalks, and corncobs 
around barnyards and feed-lots will be cleaned up and burned. 
The plan is to pay the farmers for ™ork that is done over and 
above their normal farming operations at a rate not to exceed 
$2 per acre for field corn and not to exceed $1 per acre for 
S'-eet corn. 
The following are the couities in which the clean-up will 
be conducted: Indiana : DeKalb and Steuben Counties; and selected 
townships in Allen , LaGrange, Moble, and Whitley Counties. 
Michigan : Bay, Branch, Calhoun, Genesee, Hillsdale, Huron,
