Missouri. L. Haseman (July 25): Considerable control operations being conducted 
in southeastern and south-central Missouri, with less in other parts of 
the State. Apparently a rather heavy second brood of M. mexicanus is 
evident in southern Miss opr i* 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles and assistants (July 20) : Some flights of grasshoppers 
taking place in the Red River Valley on July 9 and 10. Losses held to 
less than 3 percent through timely application of control measures. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (July 25): Grasshoppers not abundant in the eastern half 
of the S^ate but are abundant in the west-central and southwestern counties, 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (July 15) : Reports of damage to field crops received from 
June 21 to July 15 from all parts of the State. Report from Perkins County 
of the bark and needles of pine trees being damaged. Specimens received 
from Cass County, killed by a fungus. Several reports of heavy infesta- 
tion with larvae of the flesh fly ( S arcophaga kelly i Aid.) received from 
central Nebraska counties in July. Report from Antelope County indicated 
that Eutromb idium trigonum Hermann is attacking grasshoppers, 
Iowa, H, E. Jaques (July): Infestation concentrated in western Iowa, with 
scattered infestation in central and eastern parts of the State, 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (July 20) i Injury to early crops apparently light, as 
compared to 1938. Possibility yet of severe injury to flax, potatoes, and 
other later maturing crops in localized areas. Control campaign throughout 
the State largely successful. M. nexicanus is the predominating species 
and commonly in flight on days when temperatures range above 85° Nat- 
ural enemies of eggs, including bee flies and blister beetles, generally 
abundant. 
Utah. G. E. Knowltrn (July 18): Outbreaks in many counties, scattered through- 
out the State, are menacing crops more seriously than last year. 
Georgia. D, F, Farlinger (July 20) : Moderate to severe outbreaks of Schistocerca 
anericana Drury in Randolph, Sumter, Houston, Wilkes, McDuffie, and Wash- 
ington Counties. Feeding on com, cotton, peanuts, sorghum, and Johnson 
grass. Severe injury in limited areas. Emerging from grain stubble 
fields. All known outbreaks treated. 
0. I. Snapp (July 18): Considerable damage to corn and cotton, chiefly 
the former, at Fort Valley, Perry, Byron, and other central Georgia local- 
during the period June 27 to July 18. Com damaged especially where 
adjoining grain fields, plowed after harvest of the crop, thus driving in- 
sects from these fields. Infestation sufficient on most farms to warrant 
use of control measures. 
MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald. ) 
Utah. C. J. Sorenson (July 18): Very abundant in West Tintic and Sheeprock 
Mountains and in the foothills of Juab and Tooele Counties* They serious— 
y threatened but did only minor damage to crops on scattered dry-land 
farms and ranches. Cooperative control program successful in preventing 
serious damage to crops and rango forage.
