Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties and has been very well controlled 
where the poisoned bran mash had been used," 
Claude Wakeland (August l), "This pest is decidedly more abundant 
than usual in Franklin County, A few grain fields have already 
been completely destroyed and gardens are badly infested* The 
eggs of this species are laid in the uplands bordering cultivated 
dry-land farms. They are present in large numbers nearly every 
year but do not always prove as abundant and injurious as this 
year , ■

Claude Wakeland (August l)o "This insect is not as abundant as 
it was during 1921 except in a few iestricted localities. It 
is too &arly yet to estimate its abundance in comparison with 
last year, however. Adults of Eleodss car bona ria Say began 
emerging the first week of July and adults of Eleodss hisnilabris 
Say during the third week of July."

a pasture for about tv?enty years,"
