J. R. Watson (September 21); Grasshoppers are very abundant. 
They are ragging young citrus trees quite severely in places. 
C. M. Packard (August): Locally numerous in central and 
southeastern Indiana. 
W. P. Flint (September 23): Grasshoppers, mainly Melanoplus 
spp. , have been moderately abundant throughout the State, 
occurring in greater numbers than usual. Some moderate damage 
lias occurred to clover and alfalfa fields in the western part 
of the State. The damage, however, lias not been much greater 
than usual. 
W. A. Price (September 25): Grasshoppers are very abundant. 
A. G. Ruggles and assistants (September): Grasshoppers 
were reported as moderately abundant from practically the 
entire State. They are still being reported as very abundant 
from Kittson, Wilkin, Morrison, Olmsted, and Freeborn Counties. 
(Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
J. A. Mur.ro (September 21): Grasshopper activity is over 
for the season but reports of injury have been received from 
five counties. 
H. E. Jaques (August 27-); Grasshoppers are very abundant in 
nine central and western counties, and moderately abundant in 
other parts of the State, but apparently their attacks are 
growing less severe. (September 24): Grasshoppers are still 
moderately to very abundant throughout most of the State, but 
doing less damage. 
L. Baseman (September 28): Melanoplus femur- rub rum and ■ ■■. 
differentials ■gi'.e still abundant in Columbia, but not doing 
much damage to fall crops. 
M. H. Swenk ('August 1 - 31): During the month of August 
there was but ver" little further development of the grasshopper 
outbreak in Nebraska. Scattering and very moderate additional 
infestations developed in Polk County, and local and very 
moderate infestations also developed in ITemaha and Pawnee 
Counties, but no important damage was done in any of these 
three counties. During the first week in August, near Peru 
in ITemaha County, the fungous disease of the grasshopper 
Ernpusa gryll i worked very conspicuously among the differential 
grasshoppers ( Melanoplus diff crentialis Thos.) living among 
the willows along the Missouri River, but the diseafe did not 
develop outside of the river bottom.
