GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
C. L. Fluke (April 25): Eggs of Cannula nellucida Scudd. , 
are very mmerous. 
H. C. Severin (April 20): Eggs are very abundant in gen- 
eral over South Dakota; not hatched as yet. 
M. H. Swenk (March 20 to April 20): Additional reports of 
an abundance of grasshotmer nymphs in the fields continued 
to cone from northern Nebraska during late March and early 
April. The green- striped grasshopper ( Chorto~haga virdifas- 
ciata DeG.) continued to be the principal species involved.' 
Melanoplus eggs gathered from the fields of Knox and Boyd 
Counties on April 7 and 8 and placed under constant warm 
temperatures started to hatch on April 18. 
C. Benton (March): Grasshoppers, mostly nymphs in various 
instars, were observed daily in wheat fields near Fayette- 
ville even during a cold spell. Adults of the bird grass- 
hopper ( Schistocerca am eric ana Drury) were observed in con- 
siderable numbers in a wheat field near Howell, Lincoln Coun- 
ty t on March 29. 
L. Haseman (Aoril 25): Eggs of the differential grasshopper, 
M. differential! s Thos.. two- striped grasshopper, M. bivitta- 
tus Say, and red-legged grasshopper, M. femur- rubr urn DeG. 
wintered well in western Missouri, but not so well in the 
central part of the-- State. Adult of C_. virdifasciata was 
taken on April 23 at Columbia. Adults of S. am eric ana Were 
very common at Columbia April 22, probably migrants. 
J. M. Robinson (April 20): Grasshoppers are very abundant 
at Brew ton and' Georgiana, they are bating seeds off straw- 
berries and causing the berries to shrivel, causing $300 
damage per day. 
C. Lyle and assistants (A^ril): With the exception of some 
injury to strawberry -olants by C. virdifasciata , grasshoppers 
have been attracting but little attention throughout the 
State during the month. (Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
R. R. Rep-cert (April 4): Conditions in parts of Texas 
have been favorable to successful overwinter/ oi^gras shoppers. 
Damage may be expected, possibly somewhat heavier than last 
season. Observations by this institution and by E. V. Walter 
of the U. S. D. A. indicate that foci axe in Presidio, El 
Paso, Pecos, Uvalde, Medina, Tarrant, and Kaufman Counties.
