Found eggs few in number but in nearly every field in St Louis County." 
L. Easeman (April 7), "The Hessian fly was most abundant last fall es- 
peci illy in the southeastern part of the State, nowever, it was also very 
abundant in north east part of the State as well as in the south west and 
west centra! parts of the State. Seme of the early seeded wheat in these 
regions shorted 75$ to 90$ infestation. In the southern counties the pest 
was largely in papal stage by March 15 and a few adults emerged from fhi- 
pae received and' piaaed 'in the insectary on March 12. Just what effect 
the freeze of March 27 and March 28 had on the pupal or adult stages, 
where emergence' may already have occurred in the field, I have not yet 
determined. Damage from the fall brood was in many localities and fields 
100$. It is itill too !6arly to ascertain the damage from the spring brood,
