GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
Elorida. J. R. Watson (October): Grasshoppers, chiefly Schistocerca americar.a 
Drury.are very abundant. 
Illinois. 1. P. Flint (October 24): Grasshoppers are relatively scarce. Condi- 
tions for egg laying have been very good, but the snail numbers of insec's 
present this fall would not lead one to expect serious trouble in 1934. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (October): Egg surveys show few in the western part of 
the State, but an increase in the eastern counties. Grasshoppers were "licked" 
badly in Minnesota this year; conditions are back to nearly normal. 
Mississippi. 11. L. Douglas (October 16): The differential grasshopper ( Melanoplus 
dif ferentialis Thos.) is moderately abundant in Yalobusha, Grenada, and 
Montgomery Counties. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (October 20): A local outbreak of grasshoppers occurred 
in western Perkins County during the middle of October; the insects were report- 
ed to be taking winter wheat in places. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (October 18): Grasshoppers are scarce to moderately abundant 
in northern Utah, where they are laying eggs. 
Nevada. G. Schweis (October 18): Grasshoppers in various portions of western 
Nevada have been under observation for the past several weeks; oviposition has 
been heavy. Many of these oviposition areas have been mapped and preparation 
will be made for early spring control programs. 
Colorado. G. M. List (October): Grasshoppers are moderately abundant in a number 
of localities. Egg laying will be rather heavy in limited areas in Boulder, 
Douglas, and Montezuma Counties. If good weather continues, there may be 
enough eggs deposited in a number of foothill localities to make control 
measures necessary next season. 
WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga srpp.) 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (October 23): Many reports are coming in with regard to 
white-grub injury on lawns in various parts of the State. The infestation 
seems to be quite generally serious on- the western shore. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (October 24): White grubs are very abundant. 
GREEN JUNE BEETLE ( Cqtinis nitida L.) 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (October 9): Found in a lawn at Eccleston, Baltimore County. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (September 23): Following heavy rains during ear 
September, larvae emerged from lawns in Arcadia Park and crawled on their backs 
to the street. They were unable to crawl back over the curb stones re 
thus trapped. Because of odor coming from the dead ones, the neighbors swept 
.up the dead, and living larvae each morning. More than a gallon of these grubs
