Arknnsaa J. R. Norton, Bureau of Entomology (Oct. 31, 1921)- "Examinations 
fiiadc? in 7/ashington County showed infastation less than 0.5 per 
cent. In. Semroy Guiuiiy. infestation averages 3.2 per cento" 
Oklahoma J. R. Horton, Bureau of Entomology (October 31, 1 Q 21). "Examina-

CHINCH BUG ( B 1 i s su s 1 cue op te ru s Say) 
Illinois 3. C. Chandler (March 14..)* "Chinch "bugs are becoming active on 
warn days in southern Illinois. Apparently very little mortality 
has resulted during the winter." 
Ohio T. H. Parks (March 17). 'Er.amina tions made today in northwestern 
Ohio to determine the hibernating quarters sho\/ed that probably 
nine-tenths of all living chinch bugs hibernated in the fallen 
leaves of farm wood lots-. "cods located 1/2 mile from previous- 
ly infested comf ields were found to contain the hib&rmting 
bug£ 
None were found in dense bluegr^ss along ro-dsides and 
fence rows." 
GREER BUG ( Toxoptera graminu m Rond. ) 
!7. R. '7 a lton, Bure-u of Entomology ("larch 3). *'7e are at last 
in a position to give you a summary on the green-bug situation 
in Texas, Oklahoma, Tensas, and southwes r.e.rn Missouri. 
"In northern Texas, where the green bug was so abundant 
last year at this time, it has been impossible for our men, Mr. 
C. H. Gable and Mr. E. E. Russell, to find any trace of infesta- 
tion. The late sum-.rer was very dry, preventing the growth of 
volunteer grain, and this is believed to h-ve prevented the de- 
velopment of the insect. On the other hand, Mr. Horton reports 
the green bug present in the following counties in Oklahoma: 
Grady, Muskogee, Caddo, Tulsa, Log^r., 'Vashington. 
The insect has been reported as present, either by Mr. Horton 
or the Kansas State men, from the following counties of Kansas: 
Montgomery, Neosho, Linn, Labette, JUlen, * T iami, Cherokee, 
Bourbon, Leavenworth, the last county hrving been reported by 
Prof. Lean. 
"In Missouri, Prof. Haseman reported a slight infestation 
in Jasper County in the southwestern corner of the State. 
"The green-bug situation as it appears at the present 
time is most interesting for these reasons: The prevalent 
opinion during past years has beon that serious outbreaks in 
Oklahoma and Kansas are the result of excessive breeding of 
this pest in Texas and a heavy northernly migration, whereas 
the present Survey shows unmistakably that in snite of the fact 
that there is no infestation in Tex~s, enough infestation exists 
in Oklahoma and Tansas to serve -'S a starter for a very serious 
infestation this spring, given favorable weather conditions.
