Those seven states were Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Indiana. In the year 1874 the chinch bug was again unusually destructive, and in Missouri alone, Dr. C. V. Riley, then State Entomologist of Missouri, computed the loss in this one State by the ravages of this one insect during that single year at $19,000,000, and stated that for the seven states I have above mentioned the loss for that one year might safely be estimated at $60,000,000. The loss in the United States for that one year has been estimated at upwards of $100,000,000. While these estimates are undoubtedly correct, they are enormous, and cover the ravages of but this single insect during one single season. If we take into account the aggregate losses from year to year, one could hardly realize that insects could cause so much damages. THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE CHINCH BUG.
