Two Insects That Have Troubled American Farmers. A Systematic Study Has Deen Made oi - the Chinch Bog and the Hessian Fly Bulletins by the Got - ernment. The two greatest insect pests known to the American farmcT have been re ceiving the careful attention of the di vision of entomology of the United States department of agriculture for a long time. These are the chinch bug and the Ilessian fly. The department lias prepared and is about to publish two bulletins treating respectively of the two insects and suggesting possi ble remedies for checking them. The bulletin on the chinch bug is en titled "TheCbinch Bug; its probable origin and diffusion, its habits and de velopment, natural modes and remedial mid preventive measures, with mention of the habits of un allied European spe cies." The bulletin was prepared under the direction of the entomologist of the department, F. M. Webster, ento mologist of the Ohio agricultural ex periment station. The agricultural de partment has received many requests for information about the chinch bug, and the bulletin is intended to meet this demand. It gives many new facts concerning the life, history and dis tribution of the species, and the whole subject of the practical handling of its diseases, in order to assist in its de struction, is treated at length. It says ihat few insects have caused such pe cuniary losses, and that no other insect native to the western hemisphere has r.pread its devastating hordes over a wider 'area of country with more fatal effect to the staple grains of North America. It is wi!e!y distributed over the world and hibernates in the adult stage. It is of gregarious habits arid migrates in spring, summer and au t umn. When and where it lays its eggs, the period of incubation, the diiTerebt stagt s of development, the development iir.d habits of its young, annual genera tions and food plants, are covered by the bulletin. In ad.:.tion, it treats of the influence of precipitation and tem perature on the insect; its natural ene mies; remnlial and preventive meas ures, and describes the true and false chinch bugs. The bulletin says that it would ap pear that this pest first made its pres ence known in this country in North Carolina in 1783, and mentions several serious outbreaks of the bug in the west. The estimated losses fiom its ravages from 1850 to 18S7 reach $267, 000,000. It also says that it is believed ihat the losses up to 189$ amounted to fully $330,000,000. The bulletin con tains 19 illustrations, including maps, showing areas infested by the chinch bug, and the probable course of its dif fusion over North America. The other bulletin is entitled simply, "The Hessian Fly in the United States." It was prepared under the direction of the department's entomologist by Herbert CKborn, professor of zoology and entomology at the Agricultural col lege of Ames, Ia., and contains many facts concerning the life, history, food habits and parasitic enemies of this farm pest. The bulletin says that the Ilessian fly probably ranks next to the chinch bug as the farm pest in the United States, and that its ravages in other countries have long been known. It received its name in the belief that it had been introduced into this country ay the Hessian soldiers during the war of the revolution. An account of its original habitat, ts very wide distribution throughout :he wheat-growing districts of Kurope and America, and its means of distribu tion are given in the bulletin, with de scriptions of the male and female in sects, the eggs, the larval form and de velopment, food plants, natural enemies and rem'edies. The bulletin also con tains a list of all the important papers on the Hessian fly that have appeared in America, and such of the foreign works as are of value to the American student. It is illustrated with a frontis piece, two plates and eight text figures. 2f. Y. Sun. Administrators Notice.
