GRASSHOPPERS (Acri&iidae) 
Delaware C. 0. H ought en (October 23): Ke lanoplus f cmar - i~ibrum DeG. 
has appeared in considerable numbers at Newark of late. 
Illinois U. P. Flint j. Grasshoppers are not sufficiently abundant in 
most sections of the State tc cause any fear cf an outbreak 
in 192^. In western Illinois, some damage has been done to 
pastures, but adults are not present in more than the usual 
numbers, 
Minnesota A- G. Ruggles (September 29): Cf first importance among the 
field- insects are the .grasshoppers. In three counties of the 
State re had localized had outbreaks. In St. Louis and 
Carlton Counties, the species was Cannula n ellucida . In 
Hennepin Comity the species vras Mel ail cuiu s bivittatus . If 
weather conditions are favorable I am expecting to see a large 
increase in grasshopper infestations next year in Minnesota. 
Nebraska "'.. H. Swer.k (September 15-30): During the last two weeks in 
September there were some reports of grasshopper abundance 
in new wheat fields in Thayer and Lancaster Counties. 
(October 1-20): During the early part of October grasshoppers 
were reported doing injury in ycung wheat fields in York and 
Kearney Counties, but the injury rras not general or particularly 
severe.

KSSSIaN FL1" (.- hytophaga destructo r Say) 
Illinois ".<". P. Flint: Abundant rains throughout August and September 
caused a seasonal emergence cf the Hessian fly. As previously 
reported, flies v;ere abundant in southern Illinois, relatively 
scarce in ce:itral Illinois, and present in normal numbers 
in northern Illinois. Emergence in southern Illinois apparently 
was nearly over about six days before the computed fly-free 
date.
