Winter Among Leaves
Mr.. Webster states that chinch bugs
are known to pass the winter among
the fallen leaves or among such
clumps of broom sedge as had grown
up in woodlands bordering grain fields.
Destructive outbreaks in the middle
west, which is the favorite hunting
ground of the most vandalistic of
American insects, also have been
traced to matted grass and fallen
leaves bordering hedges of Usage

The farmer must understand that

From 1916 to 1850 the insect did great
damage 10 grain in Illinois and parts
of Indiana and Wisconsin. There was
another severe outbreak in Indiana
and other middle western states in
1868. The loss occasioned by their
ravages at that time has been esti-
mated at s73,000,000. Indiana was
again invaded by chinch bugs in 1871
and again in 1874. These pests also
overran the central west in 1887,
doing damage to the amount of about
$50 900 900.
1t is estimated that the total dam
