2 to 5 per square foot, where observed. Observation was not

Dakota 
Idaho 
A. L, Ford and H. C. Severin (June 8): Adults are more numerous 
in the southeastern part of the State than for year^ .according,

Indiana J. J. Davis (June 15) : On June lU the first report of bugs 
migrating from grain to corn was received from Jasonville, in 
Greene County. Bugs are abundant in small grain fields. Severe 
outbreak is anticipated. 
Illinois W.P. Flint (June 19) : Hatching of the chinch bug eggs was greatly 
delayed by the cool wet weather. The first young were found in the 
field June J. Rains have had some effect in lessening the number 
of eggs laid, but have not made any material decrease in the 
chinch bug numbers. There will apparently be a very heavy 
infestation covering more than three-fourths of the State. The 
degree of infestation varies locally, being most severe throughout 
central and south-central sections.
