What reading level is The Chinch Bug in Iowa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bugs thus destroyed were mostly young larvae, the majority of the adults, pupae and larger larvae having moved out. The number destroyed must, I believe, have well repaid the little trouble necessary to burn the stubble.
Early in August the bugs had so multiplied in a field of Hun- garian grass that no further growth seemed probable, and most of the field was mown and the hay secured. A narrow strip was left next the corn adjoining the field, the plan being to burn this as soon as bugs bega...n passing from the grass to corn. When the bugs started, however, (August 13th) the grass was not dry enough to burn except in spots. In such places as would burn, however, hosts of bugs were consumed. This strip was at once mown, and after drying a few hours another attempt made to burn it, as also on the following day, but portions were still too green to burn rapidly, and unfortun- ately for the experiment the two or three days following were not hot and dry enough to render it fit to burn readily.
