Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Report of the State Entomologist on the Noxious and Beneficial Insects: Of the State of Illinois In a general article on The Corn Bill -bugs in Illinois, pub lished In my Eleventh Report as State Entomologist (pages 1-az6), brief account was given of observations made In fields near Taylor ville, Christian county, in 1902 (page 7) but the data in my pos session concerning injuries to corn at this place and their relation to previous crops and to the history of the land, were not fully util ized in that paper. Our observations and correspondence have made it evident for some time that bill - bug injury to corn is imperfectly appreciated by com growers and but little understood by them, and it consequently seems desirable that the careful work done on this insect injury near T aylorville should now be fully reported and thor oughly discussed.
