T. H. Parks (August 25): Complaints about grasshopper^ 
damage were received from Clinton County, in the heart of the 
drought area. Damage : to soy beans occurred after the hoppers 
had left meadows and pasture fields, where the grass was 
destroyed by heat and drought. 
H. ','/. Riddle (August 14): Infestations have been noted 
in Dunn, Divide, Pembina, McLean, and particularly in Walsh 
and Grand Forks Counties.

Romalea microotera Beauv. is 
M. H. Swenk (July 15-August 15): Grasshoppers ( Melanonlus 
differential is Thos.) developed considerable abundance and 
destructiveness in Nebraska during the period here covered. 
Boyd County suffered a particularly heavy infestation, with 
considerable injury in the alfalfa and grain fields. Other 
centers, of severe infestation were southern Brown County, 
Platte and Polk Counties, and southern Lancaster, Otoe, and 
Johnson Counties. Serious damage was done to apple orchards

A. P. Sturtevant (August 28): If the coming winter and 
spring are favorable an increase is expected next year in the 
number of grasshoppers, at least in parts of Wyoming, 
A. P. Sturtevant (August 28): It is expected that more than 
the normal number of grasshoppers may be looked for in Colorado 
next year. 
C. Wakeland (July 26): Grasshoppers are in greater abundance 
this year than for several years. The county agent in Cassia 
County has held a mixing demonstration in one community where 
Melanoplus mexicanus Sauss. was migrating from range areas 
to cultivated crops. The county agent in Jefferson County 
has held two or three small demonstrations for the same species 
and the county agent of Kootenai County is working with a 
group of farmers in poisoning the grasshoppers in small local 
outbreaks. Quite a heavy infestation of Camnula pellucida 
Scudd. is reported from' the Henry's Lake district in Fremont 
County. Dr. Parker has visited this community recently and 
reports that infestation is severe enough to cause alarm for 
another season.
