L. M. Peairs (inarch 24): Grasshoppers are moderately abundant 
at Morgantown, the overwintering forms being active. 
J. R. T7a.tson (March 21): Grasshoppers are moderptely abundant - 
about as usual . 
H. C. Severin (March 23): We expect more grasshopper trouble 
over the entire S^ate than we had last year. Some outbreaks are 
expected in south central South Dakota.. 
M. H. Swenk (March 20): Eggs of grasshoppers, M elanoplus spp. 
are moderately abundant.

M. differentia li s Thos., are moderately abundant in the western 
half of Iowa . 
L. Hase-nan (March 23): Grasshoppers are moderately abundant at 
Columbia. Those reported as hatching early in the year in central 
Missouri have proved to be a species of Oedipodinae. "Sot infre- 
quently we find uartly grown nymphs of this species present in 
sunny places before the first of March, it the present time, 
March 23, nymuhs at Columbia were found auite abundant in lawns, 
meadows, and -pastures.

ant in Auburn - adults of Schistocerca a.mericana Drury found in 
the woods. 
C. L. Corkins (March 19): Grasshoppers are moderately abund- 
ant in northeastern Wyoming and central Wyoming. Sheridan Coun- 
ty will likely have a. serious outbreak. We -predict localized 
damage in seven other comities besides Sheridan this summer, and 
severe damage in Sheri'h^n County.

winter over in the nynpha.1 stage are now active in northern Utah.
