L. Baseman (July 24): With the cutting of the meadows, grass- 
hoppers are attracting attention in scattering epidemics, but 
with the rather abundant rains during the fore part of the sea- 
eon it is not likely that serious damage will result. 
J. W. McColloch (July 20): Ho serious outbreak has been report- 
ed this season. Some damage to alfalfa has occurred in Russell, 
Logan, and Osborne Counties. 
C. E. Sanborn (July 24): The grasshopper which has been exceeding- 
ly injurious this spring has been controlled to a marked extent by 
use of the poisoned bran mash. 
R. W. Earned (July 25): Grasshoppers that were reported as injur- 
ing truck crops at Union on June 16 have bgen identified by Mr. 
Caudell of the Bureau as Melanonlus a flan is Riley, Trimerotropis 
sp. , and Qrph ulella "pelidna Bur.r. 
W. A. Bdcter (July 1): Grasshoppers in the entire section north 
and east of Dallas are giving no serious trouble to the farmers. 
The infestations are confined to river and creek bottoms and are 
voiy scattered in these places. Aside from Dallas County, very 
little poison has been used. M. diff ersntialis Thos, comprises 
at least 90 per cent of all the hoppers present that have come 
under my observations. At the present time the hoppers are fast 
reaching maturity and consequently are appearing in the cultivated 
crops to a certain extent. However, I have yet to find an infes- 
tation which the farmer felt he was unable to handle as the hoppers 
came into his fields. 
G. F. Knowlton (July 21): Grasshoppers are causing comparatively 
little damage in Utah at the present time. 
I. U. Hawley (July 25): Grasshoppers are doing almost no damage 
in the State this year with the exception of San Pete County. Here 
Camnula -pellucida Scudd. has been very abundant. 
Stewart Lockwood (July 17): The grasshopper situation in the 
Yellowstone River Valley is of considerably less importance now 
than in the fore part of June. In the Stillwater Valley, where 
they were very numerous at that time, there were seven days of 
rain and cloudy weather and shortly after that grasshoppers were 
observed dead, clinging to foliage. At the present time the 
dead grasshoppers give the vegetation in some fields a decidedly 
brownish cast. 
South Dakota 
FIELD CRICKET ( Gryllus assimilis Fab. ) 
H. C. Severin (July 15): The usual large number of black field 
crickets have hatched in alfalfa fields of the western half of 
the State. We expect considerable loss from these to alfalfa 
seed producers.
