GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
Iowa. C. J. Drake (August 2): The three most important grasshoppers in Iowa 
are the lesser migratory locust ( Melanoplus mcxicanus Sauss.). the two- 
lined locust (M. "bivittatus Say) and the differential locust (M. differen - 
tial is Thcs.). Heretofore, the differential locust has "been the most im- 
portant; "but this year it seems that the lesser migratory and two-lined 
locusts are responsible for most of the damage. In some localities the 
two-lined locust is extremely abundant. The infestation is very spotted. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (August 2H) : Except for Barry and Howell Counties in 
the Ozarks, we find none of the throe economic species of grasshoppers, at 
all abundant. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swonk (August 15): The grasshopper situation continued to 
bo troublesome during the period July 15 to August 15, and, up to the 
middle of August, more than 2,000 tons of pcisoncd-bran bait had been dis- 
tributed in 33 counties. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (August 25): Although grasshoppers can be found in 
their usual habitat wherever sufficient green vegetation is present, they 
are comparatively scarce for this time of year. 
Oklahoma. C. E. Stiles (August 20): Grasshoppers are moderately abundant in 
the western part of the State. 
Wyoming. C. L. Corkins (August 21): The survey of the adult grasshopper pop- 
ulation at this time indicates that the outbreak is definitely on the wane. 
Idaho. C. Wakelp.nd (August 20).: Grasshoppers are moderately abundant in the 
southeastern part of the State. 
Nevada. G. G. Schweis (August 21): The grasshopper control campaign is now 
over for the year. The egg survey will start shortly after September 1. 
Arizona. C. D. Lcbert (August 20): Grasshoppers (M. mcxicanus ) are causing 
considerable trouble in the alfalfa fields in the Salt River Valley. This 
is cither a delayed hatch or a second brood — I believe it is a second gen- 
eration. Most of this brood are now in the last instar and many of them 
fully winged. Poison is still being applied all over the valley. 
MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald.) 
California. E. 0. Essig (August 22): A few specimens of the Mormon cricket 
v.'^ro found in Mattcrhorn Canyon, Yoscmite National Park, in July. They 
are rarely reported from this State. 
ARMY WORM ( Cirphis unlpuncta Haw . ) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (August ?.k) : The armyworm was destructive to corn on 
bottom land near Boonvillc on August 15.
