H. 0. Putman (August); Grasshoppers are damaging gardens in terms of Burleirh 
County. They have also damaged crops on the lighter soil — flax, corn, and some 
small grain in many places. Stewart dale, McRer.zie, South, of Wilton report the 
most damage. 
B. Daggett (August 12); Qn account of . an abundance of feed this year grass- 
hoppers seem to be more in large bunches in certain areas than to be scattered 
uniformly over the entire area in Ward County. There appears to be from two 
to three times as many hoppers now as usual. Man;'' townships where no poisoning 
was done last spring now realize that poisoning should have been done. Ap- 
parently at the present time there is every indication that our outbreak, next 
year will be more severe than this year. 
J. A. Munro (August 17 ) : Grasshoppers arc responsible for serious injury to 
corn, flax, potatoes, and other late crops in the more heavily infested portions 
of the State. 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (August 23): A marked decrease in numbers of -.Trass- 
hoppers over moot of the State, due largely to Sarcopha~a kellcyi Aid. and 
migrations. Extensive migrations have decreased numbers in general over the ; 
State but have given us more general distribution of the pests throughout 
South Dakota. A secondary parasite, is cutting down the effective. work of 
Sarcophar-a kelloyi . In some areas the secondary parasite is fully as abundant 
as the primary. There have been sporadic outbreaks here and there of fungous 
and bacterial diseases. 
Missouri. L. Hascman (July 27); Through central Missouri, at least, the grass- 
hopper situation has greatly improved in the past month. (August 25): Except 
in young alfalfa, the grasshoppers have done practically no damage this month. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (July 20 to August 25): The grasshopper situation during 
August receded almost to normal. Localized damage in cornfields occurred, and 
while at the present tine there are enough grasshoppers in some places to 
threaten damage to fall- sown alfalfa and wheat, on the whole further severe 
damage oy grasshoppers is not indicated anywhere in the State this season. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (August 17); The grasshopper situation in Kansas is about 
average this year although observations indicated they were very abundant along 
ditches and roadsides in a number of counties, including Jewell., Riley, Geary, 
Cloud, Republic, and Mitchell, llo evidence of serious damage was indicated. 
The species which appeared most abundant wore Melanoplus differential! s Thos. 
and M. bivittatus Say. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bent ley (August 17): Grasshoppers were reported in eastern 
Tennessee in Hixson, Hamilton County, and parts of Rutherford, Obion, and 
Lincoln Counties, as very abundant. Doing damage in millet, clover, alfalfa, 
and corn. 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (July 26); Grasshoppers are extremely abundant along creek 
banks and fence rows in various sections. The o\itbreak is general but localized 
in communities where there is an abundance of waste land. The "ycllo'vlcg" (H. 
differential is ) is the moot abundant. Many farrier S arc using poisoned bran mash 
to control then, but the low price of farm products is preventing a number of 
farmers from poisoning on waste lands although they would like to. 
Idaho. R. 17. I-Iacgclc (August 24): Moderate damage by grasshoppers in southern
