16 pages. located in IDEAL on the university library page., Severe drouth' and a chinch-bug infestation cooperated last year for the destruction of crops in Illinois; but we have found means of separating the two effects by an analysis and comparison of crop reports in two groups of counties, in one of which both of these agencies were present and in the other only one. It is my conclusion, from these- data,· that between four and five million dollars' worth of corn wheat, oats, and forage grasses were destroyed by the chinch-bug last year in this state.

9 pages., Via online journal., This article reports on an exploratory study designed to measure community leaders’
attitudes toward scenes from working rural landscapes as elicited by photographs
paired with a semantic differential scale. Using this approach it is determined that
age, occupation, knowledge about farm structure, and community size are important
factors shaping the diverse attitudes held by community leaders in rural southern
Illinois. Findings suggest that the position and magnitude of attitude differences
between relevant social groups be examined prior to launching new rural development initiatives.
