■‘M. bivi'ttatus in Chippewa County on May 28, » about 2 weeks... later than 
- normal. Observed in the first, second, auad third instars, 
Michigan*. B, M. Gaddis and assistants (May 19-25)j Hatching of M, mexicanus 
■ ’Occurred in' the infested areas of centr^ Michigan during the, week, 
Oklahoma. C, Pi Stiles (May 22); Infestation apparently very spotted over

"■ : ' B. M, Gaddis and assistants (May 19-25); la Cimarron and Texas 
Counties, in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, idle and waste land appear to 
be most heavily infested, populations averaging about 30 per .square 
-yard.'- In weedy wheat, 5 percent leaf, damage has pccurred in thin 
stands, with less in heavy stands. Clean wheat is practically free 
from 'hoppers. The hatch is practically complete in some areas but 
apparently just beginning in others. Adverse weather the last 2 weeks 
‘ has" delayed grasshopper development. Infestations which were first 
thought to be quite spotted are becoming more and more general as the 
late hatch progres'ses, ; 
Texasi (May .12-18); In the Texas Panhandle Counties of Dallam, Hartley, 
Moore, and Sherman, .M, mexicanus is the. dominant species; however 
some A, elliotti and Mr packer dii are present. Nymphs of these three 
species are to be found in all instars from the first to the fifth, 
with the largest percentage in the first and second instars. 
(May I9-25); M. mexicanus heavily infests the counties, of Dallam, Hartley, 
and Sherman, making up about 60 percent of the population. Nyraphal 
concentrations range from 5 to 60 per square yard in idle lands, along 
roadsides, and in draws in rangeland areas. In the crop-hopper area 
of the eastern Texas Panhandle, nymphs and adults number from 30 to 
50 per square yard along field margins of cotton and other row crops 
. and in pasture land adjacent to crop land. The dominant species present 
-- are- A. turnbullii , M. packardii , and A, elliotti . In some areas of 
Stonewall and Haskell Counties, considerable damage has been done to 
young cotton plants. A, elliotti and M, confusus were observed mating 
in Haskell County, , •
