infestation exists in Crook County which, from the standpoint of potential 
crop damage, is more -severe than in any other county in the State, The 
hatch is practically con^lete at this time and aost crickets are in the 
second instar* The infestation in the Owl Oreek Mountains of Hot Springs 
County is extensive and, though population counts are variable, the 
infestation as a whole'may he classed as moderate*, .Most infestations 
now are from I to 2 miles from crop lands. Very light infestations 
exist over most of Sheridan County and crickets in the. lower areas are 
* now in the second and third instars* (May 19-*25)5 Adult crickets

on all egg beds below 7*000 feet in elevation. The bands of crickets are 
small, except in areas where little or no control work has been done 
previously, A certain amount of sterility and parasitization of eggs 
is present in the older infested districts. The largest infestations 
appear to be found east of Wells near Oasis, in Elko County, The 
remainder of Elko County, with the possible exception of the Deeth and 
Midas areas, is infested with smaller bands than usual. Heaviest infesta-

Valleys of Baker County is now complete. Crickets are just beginning to 
emerge from egg beds at the higher elevations. Definite migrations have 
been observed especially in the dusted areas. Populations range from 
5 tt> 75 per square yard. In Gilliam County only occasional f Irst-instar 
; nynphs are found and it is apparent that the hatch is almost eofnplete 
there. The hatch in Umatilla County is not yet complete, crickets 
ranging from the first instar to the fifth, . To date only 3 bands of
