About The Green Bug.

The green bug which is creating 50
much havoc In the southern wheat
fields just now has somewhat inter-
esting history. The insect is suppos.
ed to have been imported. Ii was
first noticed In Italy In 1852 thirty
years prior to its discovery in Amer
lea. In June 1884, 1t was found in
some abundance In the wheat fields OF
Maryland. Some days after 1T was dis
covered In Indiana by an agent in the
United States agricultural depart
ment. In its outbreaks the pest seems
to be rather erratic in both Europe
and America. II can be found in any
wheat field in any region, although II
is not abundant enough to work as
much injury as this year. Wherever
1t lights upon a,rlant, however, the
stalks tuin brown and the plant with
ers away.-Live Stock Reporter.
