(June 8): The numbers of Melanoplus atlanis in Montana are 
net as large as last year. Considerable damage is being done 
by this insect in the dry-farming regions of Stillwater County. 
Melanonius bivittatus Say, now ranging from the first to the 
fifth nymphal instar, numbers from 10 to 50 to the square yard 
in many rather restricted localities in the irrigated valley of 
the Stillwater Rr'ver. This also applies to Camnula pellucid a 
S cudd . 
Colorado, Stewart Lockwood (June 6): The Mormon cricket, Anabrus simplex 
Utah, Hald., has been observed in very large numbers in the Uintah 
Montana, Basin in Utah and in Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado. 
Wyoming. The area infested seems to be of the same size as for the last 
three years and the number of crickets about the same. The 
same species has been reported to this office as present in 
more or less destructive numbers in Sanders County, Montana, 
and in Fremont and Hot Springs Counties, Wyoming, and is prov- 
ing to be a serious pest in Washakie County, where it is report- 
ed by the county agent to be in much larger numbers than it has 
ever been observed. Some of the crops have been lost. 
WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp . ) 
Maine E. M. Patch (May 25): Several nearly grown larvae were sent 
from Caribou with the report, "We found them first last fall in 
our orchard, where they had completely undermined the sod and 
at the ends of the potato rows adjoining had eaten deep holes 
into the potatoes. This spring, when plowing, found many of 
them." 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (May 26): We noted the first June bugs at Amherst 
flying about the night of May 10, somewhat earlier than was the 
case last year. 
Pennsylvania T. L. Guyton (May 29): June beetles are coming to lights in 
great numbers in the vicinity of Harris burg, probably marking 
the appearance of the brood. (June S): I am sending specimens 
of June beetles, Phyllophaga inversa Horn, which are coming to 
lights in great numbers in the vicinity of Karris burg, probably 
marking the appearance of the brood. 
Ohio F. C. 3ishopp (May 27): May beetles have been present in num- 
bers around lights and on trees at Columbus during warm nights 
since May 10. 
Indiana J. J.Davis (June 24): .More injury, especially to corn, than was 
anticipated from third-year grubs. This was no doubt largely 
due to weather conditions. 
Wisconsin E. L. Chambers (June 10): Many strawberry growers are complain- 
ing of white grubs but they do not seem to be any mere serious 
than last season.
