Missouri J. R. Horton, Bureau of Entomology (October 31, 1921). "Examina- 
tions in 8 counties shaved that the most serious infestrtion in 
this State is in the southeastern third, here the infestation 
ranging from 19 to 32 per cent. Through the center of the State 
the infestation ranges from 5 to G percent, while in the north- 
western third of the State the infestation in the single county 
inspected showed 2 per cent infestation. The infestation in 
the several counties was as follows:

Kansas J. R. Horton, Bureau of Entomology (Oct* 31, 1921). "Several 
examinations of wheat were made during the fall of 1921 to as- 
certain percentage of infestation and the relative parasitism. 
On September 3, examinations were made in the middle portions 
of southern Kansas, at which time volunteer wheat was well ad- 
vanced in the fields, h-jving heen about 1 inch high on August 
8, having developed 3 or 4 leaves on 7\ugus t 17, and having begun 
tillering on August 29. The condition of the flaxseeds dur- 
ing this month was as follows: Empty but not parasitized, 
30.7 per cent; containing healthy larvae, 30»2 per cent; con- 
taining diseased and dried-up larvae, 16*4 per cent; contain- 
ing living parasites, 10.2 per cent; containing parasite emer- 
gence holes, 12.3 per cent* Up to that time no pupae were 
found, nor had any emergence been observed. Infestation ranged 
from 7 to 26 per cent, averaging 14.1 per cent. On October 31, 
county examinations g^ve the following results:

""During the month of October only one-third of the total number 
of Hessian fly pupae examined were alive. h heavy mortality 
also occurred among the larvae during the month of September. 
(TTov. 1). At this time examinations of flaxseeds show empty 
but not parasitized puparia, 18 per cent; healthy Hessian fly 
larvae, 58.5 per cent; Hessian fly pupae, 1.5 per cent; diseased, 
or dried-up larvae,': 16.5 per cent; and parasitized larvae, 5.5 
percent." 
G. A , Dean (March 13). "We are receiving few inquiries concern- 
ing the Hessian fly. There is some infestation by the Kessian 
fly over the entire eastern half of the State, but wi th the ex- 
ception of a few places we do not anticipate any injury."
