They are migratory in character, often when grain is cut, abandoning wheat fields and attack- ing any near-by corn or grass field. For the practical con- trol of the chinch bug the following suggestions have been made: (1) Burning over the grass lands together with removal of rubbish in fence corners. Cultivated meadows may be burned over when the ground is frozen without in- jury to the grass. (2) Tr...ap crops may be planted such as patches of millet and Hungarian grass, which when infested in the spring should be turned under with the plow. (3) Chinch-bug ; a, 7>, eggs magnified and natural size ; c, young nymph ; e, second stage of nymph ; /, third stage ; g, full- grown nymph ; d, h, j, legs ; i, beak through which food is drawn.
