apparently to M. nexicanus having dispersed by flight, leaving M. differ- 
ent ialis . M. packardii Scudd., and oth ;r less migratory forms relatively 
noro abundant. 
South Dakota. H. C. Sever in (July 9): Many M. mcxicanus .and a few M. bivittatus 
were nature by June 22. At present, eggs of M. nexicanus . M. bivittatus, 
M, difforcntialis . and D, Carolina are still hatching. Flights have 
occurred during the last" 2 weeks. Considerable crops -will be lost despite 
successful control measures, owing to so nuch idle Land where the hoppers 
breed and fron which they are migrating. 
Nebraska, M. H. Swenk (July 23): Flights are connonly observed by the middle of 
July, The two-striped gr.os shopper was first noted .as having reached the 
adult stage at Lincoln on June 18, and adults were numerous by June 24 
over most of eastern Nebraska. 
Kanras. J. R. Horton (July 22): A moderately heavy migration of grasshoppers 
observed passing over Wichita on several days during the first week of 
July, at the same tine that the number of individuals in local fields de~ 
creased materially. The migrations are believed to have started here, or 
to have been joined by local hoppers j however, there are still many left, 
and they are doing considerable damage. 
E. R. Bryson (July 28): Less abundant in the eastern and central parts 
of Kansas than earlier in the season. In the western part of the State they 
are still doing some danage but are mostly well under control. 
Oklahoma. C. P. Stiles (July 22): Owing to the control program, grasshoppers 
have not damaged the crops severely in Oklahoma, The. number of grass- 
hoppers is greatly reduced in the northern part of the State through 
control measures and some natural enemies, but they are present in large 
numbers in the southwestern quarter of the State. The principal species 
are M. different ialis and M. packardii . M. bivittatus is rapidly dis- 
appearing, the sano holding true for M. nexicanur, . Nymphs of an undeter- 
mined species in the second and third instar are showing up in Large 
numbers in Kay, Caddo, and Grady Counties, especially in alfalfa fields. 
A report from Cimarron County, the extreme Panhandle county of the State, 
states that D. longipennis Thos. are now flying into the county. 
E. S. Ivy (July 25): Grasshoppers did considerable injury to young 
cotton at the edges of many of the fields in McCurtain County, southeastern 
corner of the State, early in the season, but at present the cotton is 
easily outgrowing the injury. 
Montana. R. A. Shoals (July 30): Considerable crop loss occasioned during the 
last few weeks in eastern Montana by hordes of grasshoppers, which had 
migrated into agricultural areas from nearby breeding grounds in range 
lands or waste areas. Flights were so heavy that damage occurred despite 
extensive control measures. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (July 12): Grasshopprs ore more abundant and damaging than 
since 1931, Approximately 75 percent are adult in some localities, with 
large-scale hatching still occurring in some areas.
