been carried on in 13 counties. Results have been satisfactory in 
nearly all cases, especially in districts where the projects have 
been under direct supervision. The principal species present aro: C. 
•pellucida , M. moxicanus , and M. bivitt-tus . 
Arizona. C. D. Lebcrt (July 2U): Delayed hatches appeared late in June 
and early in July in the Salt River Valley. The =jdult population of 
the early hatch have been very well taken care of by the poisoned- "bran 
campaign effected during the. past 6 or S weeks. Incomplete reports 
from Navajo County indicate that the situation which was serious late 
in June is now much better. Poisoned bran is now being applied over 
approximately 1,200 acres with very satisfactory results. 
California. Kern Co., Calif. Monthly News Bull. (July): The 'major in- 
sect damage to field crops was caused by grasshop ers , which threat- 
ened serious injury to the cotton crop in some areas. The commission- 
er obtained 25 tons of poison bran from the Government to be used in 
this work. Serious damage was prevented ~oy the timely application of 
this material. 
MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald. ) 
Montana. A. L. Strand (Juno 28): The Mormon cricket has increased enor- 
mously since last year. In addition to the counties of Big Horn and 
Carbon, where a major outbreak was expected and occurred,, crickets 
have shown up in Judith Basin, Fergus, Pondera, Glacier, Chouteau, 
Lake, and Sanders Counties. 
Wyoming. C. L. Corkins (July 26): The Mormon cricket outbreak previously 
reported is under control with little loss of crops. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (July 9): A report of a rather severe outbreak of 
Mormon crickets on Cedar Mountain has been received. 
Nevada. G. G. Schweis (July 2): The threatened outbreak failed to ma- 
terialize. Rains that freshened the mountain vegetation apparently 
changed the line of march, so the bands turned again toward the moun- 
tains. One band nearly a quarter of a mile wide has been crossing 
the highway near Carlin for nearly 3 weeks. 
CUTWORMS (Noctuidao) 
Florida. S. S. Crumb (July 2): Climbing cutworms, which seldom cause 
appreciable damage to mature tobacco, were quite abundant in certain 
tobacco sheds in Gadsden County. They have been determined as Lyco - 
•photia ra.rga.ri to sa s^.ucia Hbn. and Prodenia craitha n.lli Guen. 
Oregon. D. C. Mote and assistants (June 29): The yellow- striped army- 
worm (P. orni' ! li) is pr sent in a field north of Corvallis. This 
v/orm has been migrating northward for the past several years.
