The More Important Hecords in Canai.da 
for July-August 
In Manito"ba, the najority of the common grasshoppers had reached the 
winged stage hy July 22, "but up to the latter pant of August no fli.^ts had 
"been 0"bscrved or reported in the Province, During Ju.ly the nuxibers of the 
clear-wdnged grasshopper were considera"bly reduced "by the fungous disease 
Empusa grylli , "iDut other species Xifere unaffected and light to moderate da.mge 
to gra.in crops occurred in many aneas, A survey in August showed tlmt this 
species was a"b-undant in northern and north-eastern districts. In the Hod 
Hiver Valley, the two-striped grasshopper was present in menasing num'bers and 
damaged late crops, especially harloy. The general grasshopper infestation 
v/as shov/n "by surveys to "be light to moderate over the greater part of the 
agricultural area of the Province, In Saskatchewan, the grasshoxoper out’oreak 
was reported in June. to "be less severe than in anj^ season during the past 
dccaxlc; the lessor migratory grasshopper "was ]prac tic ally the only sxbecies of 
economic importance, and up to mid-July hardly any croj) damage had occurred. 
However, the ahscnce of concerted efforts to use tillage or bait for control, 
and severe drou-ght conditions, resulted in considera"ble daxia.gc develox^ing in 
many anoa.s during the la.tter part of July along crop mangins. In August, a 
marked increase of grasshopjoers comx:)ared with 19^0 x^ras reported over much of 
the Province, and damage occurred to la.ter crops. Head damage x-/as comparative- 
ly light, "but flax su.ffered severely in some anea-s. In Al"bcrta, rains were 
reported to have destroyed large num"bers of grasshoijpers in the spring, and 
these insects, xTai'ticulanly the lesser migratory grasshox^per , were greatly 
reduced in num'bers compared with 19^0, Hov.^ever, some losses to .grain and hay 
crops occurred, esxoecially in drier, areas. 
One of the most severe outhrealcs of the whoa.t stem sav/fly ever recorded
