Missouri A. C. Burrill (May 17). "A heavy flight of this insect took

GRASSHOPPERS (Acridiidae) 
New York L. C* Tyler (June 4). "Melanoplus atlanis or M« femurrubrum 
appearing in great numbers at Alabama on muck land. They are 
all immature." 
Illinois W. P. Flint (June 19). "Young grasshoppers abundant locally in 
a few areas over the southern tv/o-thirds of the State. No gen- 
eral outbreak is expected." 
Iowa F, A, Fenton, "I have just returned from the southwestern part 
of the State in Mills County and find that grasshoppers there 
are more numerous than ever before and are doing quite a bit of 
damage. V/hether or not this is the beginning of a more or less 
extensive outbreak I am not certain. The species concerned is 
the two striped grasshopper." 
Wisconsin H. F. Wilson (June 20). "Grasshoppers are appearing in great 
numbers throughout the northern and northeastern portions of 
the State. We are trying to organize our growers in a poison 
campaign and hoping to prevent any serious damage-" 
S. B. Fracker ('June 24), "The worst outbreak since 1890 is under 
way in northern Wisconsin north of Barron, Stevens Point, and 
Green Bay, Blister beetle, Epicauta cinerea , becoming numerous, 
also a bacterial disease has been found. Poisoned bait is being 
used by the ton in Door, Florence, and Shawano Counties, and v/ork 
is beginning in Forest, Price, and Portage Counties." 
Minnesota Stewart Lockwood (May 24). "I have just returned from a tip 
to Minnesota. We found a large quantity of grasshopper eggs 
in the extreme northwestern corner, namely Kittson County. 
Here the grasshopper eggs range SO to 50 pods to the square 
foot; in seme localities egg parasites were noticed fairly abun- 
dant, but not in large enough numbers to help much for this year* 
Grasshoppers were first noticed hatching May 11." 
South A. L. Ford (May 16), "Along White River bottoms grasshopper 
Dakota eggs are very numerous; these have passed the winter in sound 
condition; an outbreak is practically assured for this local- 
ity. Eggs are confined to the bottoms. Blister beetles are 
atoindant ." 
H. C. Severin (May 23). "Gras3hopi>ers have hatched in large 
nianbers in Tripp County."
