Nabraska M* H» Swenk (Jvn& 15). "Grasshoppers began hathhing in 
western Nebraska during the last week in May and have 
continued hatching numerously in many localities. By 
this time they are mostly hatched and the larger ones 
about one-third grrwn. So far they have been most 
threatening to crops in Scottsbluff , Morrill, and Sheridan 
Counties where active preparations are being made to 
fight them."

Michigan R* H. Pettit (June 8)» "Grasshoppers were appearing in 
the upper peninsula in enormous numbers. I have reason to 
believe they are Melanoplus femoratus ." 
CLEAR-WINGED GRASSHOPPER (Camnula T>ellucida Scudd.) 
Oregon B. B. Fulton (June 8). "All stages of grasshoppers are now 
present at Tule Lake in Klamath County, even a few adults. 
They are hatching in the strips of tule and moving into 
the grain crops, devouring every blade as they go." (June 10) 
"At Fort Klamath eggs are just hatching in small areas which 
are several inches higher than the general level c Many 
of the spots are still surrounded by water. Within these 
small areas the hoppers are thick enough to darken the ground*" 
GRASSHOPPERS (undetermined sp. ) 
Iowa F. D. Butcher (June 15). "Grasshoppers were found on May 
20 in Cass and Montgomery Counties in sufficient numbers to 
warrant their being watched closely." 
Colorado C. P. Gillette (June 2l). "A large number of complaints of 
grasshopper injuries are coming in from both irrigated and 
grazing areas in the State* The Department is putting out a 
concsntrated grasshopper poison in which crude arsenic is 
used with banana oil in place of lemons or oranges, which 
is meeting with good success and for which we are having a 
large call." 
Massachusetts 
EUROPEAN CORN-BORER (Pyrausta nubilalis Huebn. ) 
H. A. Mostrom (June 10). "Vany larvae wintered over in stubble. 
Eggs were in abundance on the under side of dock leaves during 
the latter half of May. There is every indication that the 
serious damage of last year will be repeated this season."
