undoiibtedly "be a little commercial damage in these counties. 
Very little -inter wheat "as sorai in Plymouth and the farmers 
felt that it -ould not be necessary to observe the safe-seeding 
date. Although the acreage is very small in this county a few 
fields are "badly infested. A general Hessian fly survey -ill be 
made thi s spring. 
Missouri L. Hasemah: Stubble records last summer showed practically no 
infestations, and young plants from experimental fields this 
■'inter show no infestations; 50 to 75 per cent of wheat was seeded 
and most of it very late owing to prolonged ret weather this fall. 
Reported from Nodaway, Jasper, Johjason, Greene, Roone, Crawford, 
St. Louis, and Mississippi Counties. 
J. H* Horton: ""Fly" at extreme minimum abundance in southeastern 
Missouri; little rheat sown, none before earliest safe date, 
because of continuous rains during seeding period in southeastern. 
Mo. Very for exceptionally early sown fields in southwestern 
Missouri, but these dangerously (upwards of half the stems) in- 
fested; -et weather very fortunately prevented seeing until long 
after the earliest safe date in southwestern^ Mo., ~ too long for 
best entry of wheat into winter. "Ply" at minimum abundance in 
northern Missouri; practically no fly in Carly sown or volunteer 
'-heat; much wheat sown early, into winter in sturdy condition. 
South Dakota K. C. Severin: The Hessian fly is found in South Dakota but has 
not appeared in any numbers warranting any alarm. 
Nebraska M. H. S-onk: In general the Hessian fly is present in reduced 
numbers as compared to a year ago. Large areas of heavily in- 
fested territory are much less numerous, though of course in a 
number of localities there are plenty of fly puparia in the wheat 
at this time. 
Kansas and J. R. Horton: Abundance in general high, increasing, peak not 
Oklahoma yet reached. Early sown wheat - from one -fourth to one-half of 
stems infested in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Wheat 
into -inter in good condition except that considerable has been 
killed by fall brood larvae. 
Kansas and J. R. Horton: "Ply"at minimum abundance. Early sown wheat generally 
Nebraska not at all or but slightly infested in northeastern Kansas and 
southern Nebraska.. Most of the wheat "safe" sown; rather poor 
growth for entering winter. 
Northwestern J, R. Horton: Abundance high, perhaps approaching peak; except 
Eansas in extreme northwestern counties. Early sown wheat over north- 
western Kansas about half or more of stems infested - except 
in northwestern counties, negligible. Most of -heat "safe" 
sown, into winter in sturdy condition. Earliest safe sowing 
data - no infestation, any locality, on or after this date.
