Nevada. G. G. Schweis (August 21): Grasshoppers of several species have "been 
troublesome in widely scattered areas in Nevada, doing much damage to alfalfa 
and ;^rain. Control measures were necessary in some instances, and the hoppers 
took the bait readily, resulting in a good kill. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (August 18): Grasshoppers are damaging young fall wheat at 
Mt. Pleasant and Minersville. 
Arizona. C. D. Lebert (August 26): The pest of primary concern this month is 
grasshoppers. We have had the most severe infestation this year that has 
ever been recorded in this State. M. mexicanus was observed early, in fact 
as early as April this hopper was observed mating in the fields. Consequent- 
ly, during the last half of May and extending well into the month of June 
there was a very heavy infestation of this species in the Salt River Valley. 
Drastic control measures were immediately put into effect. But beginning the 
latter part of June and extending through July the large differential grass- 
hopper, M. differentialis , became very abundant in practically all areas of 
the Salt River Valley, especially in the Glendale, Laveene, South Tempe, and 
Mesa areas. Then at the peak of the differential grasshopper development 
another brood of M. mexicanus became abundant. Several fields of cotton 
have been completely destroyed, as well as several plantings of hegari. 
Many alfalfa fields have been stripped and much garden stuff has been ruined. 
Hew Mexico. J. R. Eyer (July 24): M. femur-rub rum DeG. is moderately abundant 
in the northeastern part of the State. 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (July 25): M. saltator Scudd. was reported as damaging a 
mint field at Jefferson July 10. 
EASTERN LIBBER GRASSHOPPER (Romalea micro? tera Beauv.) 
Georgia. W. H. Clarke (July 26): Thousands of lubber grasshoppers were observed 
between 311 i jay and Talking Rock on State Highway No. 5. Many had been kill- 
ed by cars. 
J. 3. Gill (August 22): Lubber grasshoppers are moderately abundant at Tifton. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (August): Lubber grasshoppers are moderately 
abundant at Ocean Springs. 
MORMON CRICKET (Anabrus simplex Hald.) 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (August 21): Many specimens have been received from 
various parts of the State, with one report of crop injury from Burke County. 
Montana. A. L. Strand (August 19): Important infestations occur in four 
different sections of Montana as follows: Pryor Mountains and Wolf Mountains 
in Big Horn County; Dryhead district in Carbon County; Sanders and Lake 
Counties; Little Rockies in Blaine and Phillips Counties. The Pryor 
Mountain, Wolf Mountain, and Dryhead infestations are by far the most important 
and a campaign against the crickets is being organized for next season.

Nevada. G. G. Schweis (August 21): An infestation/reported from the Utah-Nevada
