16 pages. It can be found in IDEALS on the university library page., THE CHINCH BUG is one of the three or four most destructive crop pests known in the United States.
Ever since the Illinois prairies were first cultivated, chinch bugs have been collecting a heavy g rain rent from the corn growers of the state. A loss of practically 6 1/2 million dollars to the farmers in 17 counties in southwestern Illinois is estimated to have resulted from damage
done by these insects in one year when the bugs were numerous. This loss was from direct damage to corn, wheat, and oats, and did not take into account damage to other crops and secondary losses.
This circular tells how to combat this pest by growing crops on which the chinch bug does not feed, by adjusting rotations, by planting varieties of corn that are relatively resistant to chinch bug damage, and by building effective barriers to prevent the bugs from invading fields
of corn. By the timely use of these various methods, chinch bug damage can be largely prevented.
