and eastern Idaho during August. Heavy parasitization by a sarcophagid 
reported in Power County/. The grasshopper population is expected to be on 
the decrease in 1933. 
Nevada. G. G. Schweis (August 17): &r as shoppers (a number of) are very - 
abundant and doing heavy damage to second crop alfalfa. 
Utah. G. p. Knowlton (August- 17): Grasshoppers (M. f emur-rubrum DeG. ) are 
moderately to very abundant in northern Utah. Adults are becoming more abundant 
MORMOH CRICKET (Anabrus simplex Said. ) 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (August 24): Mormon cricket eggs are being deposited freely 
in areas of the 1932 outbreak in eastern "Idaho. A serious infestation is 
probable in 1933. 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (August 23): Two small colonies of the Mormon 
cricket found, one at Bee Heights and the' other at Murdo. 
WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp. ) 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (August 22): White grubs are very abundant, damaging 
potatoes in the western part of the State. 
Pennsylvania. J. N. Knull (August 10): About 30 per cent of the conifers planted 
near the Cole House, Perry County, were killed or injured by white grubs. 
L. B. Smith (August 26): White grubs are very abundant locally, throughout 
the State. 
Ohio. E. W. Mendenhall (July 30): The white grubs are exceedingly abundant and 
are doing considerable damage to strawberry plants and in some cases have 
totally destroyed whole plantations in the central counties of Ohio. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (August 19): White grubs arc causing vqtj serious injury 
in' the northern part of the State, the infestation this : r ear being caused 
mainly by grabs of Brood B. The whole area is quite generally and heavily 
infested with the small grubs of Brood A. As both broods_will be working 
■in the soil during the early part of next season, we expect very serious 
damage from these insects in that part of Illinois in 1933. 
Wisconsin. C. L. Fluke (July 27) : White grubs are very abundant. Brood A began 
hatching the first of July. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles and assistants (August): White grubs were quite . 
serious in Ramsey County, badly damaging golf courses and strawberry plan- 
tations. This insect was also reported as very abundant in eastern Polk 
County, but from scarce to moderately abundant over the remainder of the State. 
(Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
Missouri. L. Has email (July 27) : Great numbers of nearly mature .grubs, especially 
in sod ground at Columbia. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swcnk (July 20 to August 25): White grubs are moderately injuri- 
ous in blue-grass lawns and strawberry beds durinr the- Deri od here covered.
