8ENEEAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (August 20): Although no more than normally abundant, 
grasshoppers are sufficiently numerous in a few localities to require 
control. Ripening peaches and corn were injured in central Ohio. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (August 2^) : Extremely abundant in August in low- 
land pastures in the vicinity of Lexington. Melanoplus f omur - rubrum 
Deg. apparently the most common species. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (August 2k): Isolated destructive but not extensive 
infestations in all parts of the State. Perhaps the greatest damage 
done' to hybrid corn. 
G. E. Gould (August 25): Abundant in many fields in the northern 
part of the State. Damage observed to carrot tops and carrots adjoin- 
ing an uncultivated field. 
Illinois. W. F. Flint (August 2U) : A decided decrease throughout the 
entire season. Now present in normal or subnormal numbers in most 
sections of the State. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (August 2^) : Situation throughout the State about 
the same as a month ago. In northern Missouri some reports have come 
in of a partial second generation of the lesser migratory grasshopper 
( Melanoplus mexicanus Sauss.). At Columbia most of the eggs have 
already been deposited by the two-striped species (il. bivittatus Say) 
and the most abundant species still active is the differential grass- 
hopper (M. di fferential i s Thos.). Hoppers decidedly less abundant than 
a year ago . 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles and assistants (August): Grasshoppers from 
moderately abundant to very abundant throughout the State. 
North Dakota. J. A. Munro (August 27): Grasshoppers moving around a great 
deal. Much of the Red River Valley, practically devoid of grasshoppers 
earlier in the season, is now overrun with them. In Walsh County, 
northeastern North Dakota, severe damage has been caused, especially 
to potatoes. Vinos stripped in most fields so that nothing remained 
but the bare stalks of the plants. Egg laying well under way. In 
fields at Park River, Walsh County, egg pods of M. mexicanu s occur 
at the rate of one per square foot, but along the margins the rate 
is a little higher. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (August 23): Caused serious general crop damage 
from July 21 to August 20. Specimens received from Deuel County on 
August 3 showed infestation by red mites Eutrombidiuin trigonum Hermann.
