GRASSHOPPERS (Acridiidae and Locustidae) 
0. I. Snapp (April 25): Grasshoppers have been unusually abundant 
in several- orchards at -Montezuma- and Marshal lville during the past 
week. In some sections, several orchards, especially in the low- 
lands, grasshoppers have devoured .or seriously injured 50 per cent 
of the small green peaches.. 
R. 7T. Earned (March 11): Reports have "been received from Gulf port , 
indicating that grasshoppers are causing serious damage to the flow- 
ers, shrubs, and other plants in the cemetery at that place. From 
the description given, this is probably the "'ork of the Southern 
lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera Palis. The grasshoppers 
are said to be rather thick on some of the lots in the cemetery 
and collect in large numbers, on plants. It is reported that late 
'in the afternoon the grasshoppers seem to seek shelter. (April 22): 
A letter from a correspondent at Hampton, Washington County, dated 
April 22, is as follows: "During the season of 1924 we had a very 
heavy infestation of grasshoppers, from which we suffered heavy 
damage on cotton and soybean crops. They ate up absolutely, so 
that not a stalk remained, about 40 acres of soybeans; and of cotton, 
many acres for considerable distances along ditch banks down into the 
fields. We are now finding large numbers of grasshoppers hatching 
cut along the ditch banks; and this makes us fear the possibility of 
heavy damage again in the 1925 season." 
A. G. Buggies (May 13): On May 7 in Benton County we found that 
the eggs of the grasshopper Camnula pel luc ida Scudd. had passed 
through the winter in good shape and some of the eggs were hatching. 
All indications are that there will be several outbreaks in this 
part of Minnesota this year. 
0. E. Sanborn (May 7): Began hatching in southern part of the 
State April 1 and in the northern part April 30.. Belated forms 
are now hatching. They are 75 per cent more numerous than last 
year. 
J. L. Webt (May 12): G. A. Maloney , of the Tallulah Laboratory, 
sent in the following note: "Poison has been required to control 
grasshoppers in Oklahoma." 
R. A. Cooley (May 1): Crickets were reported on April 8 as recent- 
ly hatched and very abundant at Camas Prairie, Sanders County. Dam- 
age to crops is expected. Am not sure of the species, either 
Peranabrus scabricollis Thorn, or Anabrus simplex Hald. 
"TRITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp. ) 
S. B. Fracker (May 14): Ph yliophaga spp. turned up in large num- 
bers in the spring plowing in central counties of this State.
