C. F. Stiles (August l): Grasshoppers arc- very abundant in the 
southwestern and central parts of the State. 
R. W. Gjullin (July).: A recent survey indicates that Helano-plus 
femur -rub rum DeG, and M. bivittatus Say are f ai rly abundant in an 
extensive area in ^southeastern Montana, In the eastern tier of 
counties M. mexicanus atlani s Riley, M. packardi Scudd,, and 
Lissosteira Carolin a L. are the dominant species. While grass- 
hoppers do not occur in alarming numbers at present, continued 
dry weather and favorable conditions for ogg laying make it 
almost certain that grasshoppers in outbreak numbers are to be 
expected in these and other scattered areas, over .the. State next 
year. In the western portion of the State Camnula pellucida SctsfiC* 
reached destructive numbers. There .was also a ■severe outbreak of • 
M. bivittatus Say in western Montana in Beaverhead County. 
A. G. Stephens (August 21): Grasshoppers are moderately to 
very abundant in the northeastern and central parts of the State, 
G. G. Schweis (August 2l): Many species of grasshoppers are 
present doing damage in the western part of the State, 
G. F. Knowlton (August 3): Grasshoppers continue to be very 
abundant and destructive in many parts of Utah. 
C. D. Lebert (July 27): Melanoplus differentialis Uhler and 
others of the grasshoppers are very abundant, in the So.lt River 
Valley, 
S. Lockwood (July 27): According to the Monthly News Letter of 
Mr. L. A. Burtch, County Agricultural Commissioner of Kern Counts'-, 
grasshoppers and army worms have not been responsible for com- 
mercial damage in his county. His Hews Letter says, "Approximately 
one ton of poison bran mash was put out for grasshoppers at Lebec 
and very good kill was obtained." 
CUTWORMS (Noctuidae) 
W. P. Flint (August 10) : The yellow-striped army worm, 
Prodenia ornithogall i Guen., is more abundant in the State than 
normally at the present' time. 
A. G. Ruggles (August 20): Ifoctua fennica Tausch, is very bad 
northeast of the Red River Valley, 
3. L. Chambers (August 25): The grasshoppers and variegated 
cutworm '.-have continued to do unusually severe injury throughout 
the State to potatoes, tobacco, small grain, and other field 
crops, and these, coupled with the unusual/ "severe drought we are 
having in most of the Sto.te, have played havoc with our crops in 
Wisconsin this year. Owing to the very unusual season and 
severe drought, our corn is already going into the silo, and in 
the south. e antral section over one-half of it has already been cut.
