slight leaf injury by young grasshoppers to red clover 
between rows of apple trees on May 6. 
R. L. Shotwell (May 8): In all places we found eggs of 
grasshoppers, M. atianis Riley, in abundance. In some 
places they were very numerous. The problem is the same 
as it lias always been; the eggs were massed in the south 
and west facing banks along roadsides. While at Beach we 
saw grasshoppers hatching on south-facing banks where the 
egg pods had become more or less exposed to the sun. A few 
days later, the young hoppers were quite numerous. Along 
the south-facing banks north of Beach the species were 
M. bivittatus Say and M. atlani s Riley.
