juices. 1t is about one sixteenth
Of an inch in length, pea-green
in color, with a distinctly darker
green stripe down its back. In
common with other plant-lice, its
different forms and the ways in
which these forms appear, are of
almost magic interest.
On account of its compare
lively small size, close resem-
blance in color to that of the
wheat, the average observer
finds it somewhat difficult to dis
cover this insect when only a few
are present.
Accordingly place a white
handkerchief or piece of white
paper close to the stalk of wheat
then jar the stalk with hand or
stick and the insects will fall on
the white SSurface, thus revealing
their presence. There are sever
al species of plant lice which may
be found on wheat. Should any
such be found send them to the
Department of Entomology of
the University of Kansas, Law
renee, and an immediate reply
will be sent, giving the name and
nature of the insect.
The greatest check to the
Green Bug is its parasite, a
small gnat like wasp which lays
its egg in the body of the Green
Bug, causing the bug to swell up,
turn first orange, then black, and
then die. Out of the dead body
another parasite soon energies to
continue the wOr of destroying
! The spotted lady bug so well
known to every one, both as an
adult and as black slug like
fern in its immature stage, de-
YOURS great numbers of Green
Bugs. al
The larvae of the lace wing
lily, a gauzy green insect and of
several of the two winged bee
like flies also destroy the Green
Bugs
A complete report of the sub
ject of the Green Bug comprising
221 pages, three colOred plates,
eight half tone plates and &c text
Figures, will be sent upon request
This will enable wheat growers
TO recognize the Green Bug, the
parasite and the other enemies
which combine to defeat the host
Of Green Bugs when they appear.

partment of Entomology, Univer-
sity Of Kansas, Lawrence.

measures and Investigations on
this insect. Since that time we
haze received regular reports
from the territory where the in
Sect usually exists the year

When. however, on March 30,
l4he presence of the Green Bug IN
the southwest was announced on
Fthe Chicago Board Of Trade,
those interested in wheat prOduc-
aiOn in KANSAS asked for defl-
mite information regarding Kan

fessOr Glenn, MeSsrs Breidenthal
and Fraser have been. making
careful investigations of wheat
fields in different sectiOnss of
Kansas.
Since some publicity has been
given to the fact that Green Bugs
ARE probably in in Kansas + thas

exits concerned that the exact

On personal investigation now be
made known. 90
) Professor Glenn found the first
Green Bugs on the morning Of
April q, two miles southeast Of
Cherryvale in Montgomery cOun-

of counties, quotations from Pro-
fessOr Glenn's report will be per-

N1cintes Of 9Cehrryvale, Independ-

Altogether twenty-eight fields

thirteen Of these, no Green Bugs

seen. In two of the fields only

pie spent half as much time in
their homes as city. folks spend
in theirs, rural mortality would
be appalling. But farm families
as rule are blessed with vigor-
