Mr. R. A. Beamer over the eastern third of the State shows that

Neosho, Montgomery, Bourbon, Linn, and Miami Counties. Much

period covered by this pepfort (March 15-April 15) have been 
due to this insect, which was reported as seriously injurious in 
western part of Nebraska last fall. This spring immature larvae 
have resumed feeding and have injured or destroyed numerous fields 
of wheat. The injury began to be noticed during the last 10 days 
in March near Chappell in Deuel County. One field of 150 acres 
was almost completely destroyed by having the roots eaten away 
and another field of 200rracres in the same general locality that 
was badly injured last fall was completely destroyed this spring* 
As late as April 10 the worms were still at work according to 
reports from Big Springs in Deuel County."
