Montana* A. L, Strand (May 29): The grasshopper campaign is well under way. 
Hatching of the eggs began at lerst a month earlier than in 1933* ^he 
infestation is developing very much in accordance with the survey • M. 
bivittatus has hatched almost completely and some are nearly full grown. 
The lesser migratory grasshopper (M. mexicanus ) has been slower in hatch- 
ing but probably 80 percent, of the eggs are now hatched. 
Idaho. C. Wakeland (June 19): Grasshopper control has been progressing 
very satisfactorily and to elate the State has shipped in 670 tons of 
Federal poisoned bait. Nearly all damage has been prevented, but hop- 
pers have reached the migrating stage in some areas and considerable 
difficulty is being experienced in protecting cultivated lands along the 
margins of desert areas. 
Arizona. C. D. Lebert (June 25): Winged adults of our early hatched grass- 
hoppers are practically exterminated in all fields where the poison was 
used. Late hatching of M. mexicanus has been noticed in two fields to 
date. It is too earljr to determine to whet extent this late hatch may 
develop. 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (May 28): -A. Federal grasshopper control campaign is be- 
ing undertaken in Klamath, Lake, Harney, Creek, Deschutes, and Grant 
Counties. £. pellucida is the most abundant species involved. 
California. E. 0. Essig (June 24): Grasshoppers are abundant in a few scat- 
tered localities. 
MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald.) 
Montana. A. L. Strand (May 29): The outbreak in southern Montana is far 
more serious than was expected, but in general conforms to the egg survey 
made last summer. Crickets are also appearing in several northern 
counties. In some of these there are- probably not enough crickets to 
do much damage this year. 
Idaho. C. Wakeland (June 19 ) ; : Mormon crickets are a month earlier than 
usual, most of the eggs having already been deposited. A few instances 
of severe injury were encountered this year in the upper Snake River 
Valley, the first rcal damage we have observed in the 3-year fight we 
have had with them. 
VARIEGATED CUTWORM ( Lycophotia margaritosa saucia Hbn. ) 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (May 28): Cutworms were found injuring hops on May 21 
near Independence and Dayton. In certain areas every hill contained 
from 1 to 20 worms and had two thirds of the shoots cut off. 
ARMYWORM ( Cirphis unipuncta Haw. ) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (June 22): Moths have been abundant and there is every 
likelihood of outbreaks in the near future. 
Illinois, W. P. Flint (June 23): There have bsen several slight-to-moderate 
outbreaks.
