GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Ac'rididae) 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (July 2'6) : The lesser migratory grasshopper ( Me - 
lanoplus atlanis Riley) is abundant in West River Valley, Windham 
County, southeastern Vermont. 
Georgia. .0. I. Snapp (July l): "Grasshoppers originating in wheat stubble 
have moved to adjoining cotton and corn and have caused considerable 
damage *to those crops at Marshallville, in central Georgia. (July 
13)t Grasshoppers are unusually abundant and have caused consider- 
able damage to old corn at Port Valley. 
C. H. Alden (July 19) J Severe damage to corn by grasshoppers. 
Most abundant species were M. differentialis Thos. and Dissosteria 
Carolina L. Grasshoppers are generally more abundant and injurious 
in the southern half of the State than they have been in many years. 
Florida. J. R. Watson (July 23) : Grasshoppers, particularly the so-called 
"bird grasshopper" ( Schistocerca americana Drury) , did much damage 
in the northern part of Alachua County, where corn was badly riddled 
over a considerable section. 
Ohio. T. H. Perks (July 22): But one report has reached this office con- 
cerning grasshopper damage. This came from Brown County, southern 
Ohio, where the insects were reported injuring tobacco and soybeans 
on a farm. During the wheat- insect survey grasshoppers were found 
to be present in only moderate numbers. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (July 26): Grasshoppers are abundant in more or less 
isolated spots throughout the northern half of the State, with great- 
est prevalence in the we stern part, especially near the Illinois 
State line. Although most of the trouble is in the field crops, a 
number of reports of injury in gardens were received the first half 
of the month. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (July 2l): Grasshopper damage continues to be 
moderate over much of the infested area in the State. There is 
considerable migration to corn and soybeans, now that the small 
grain is being cut. Hoppers in -all cases are showing distinct 
preference for soybeans over corn. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggle3 (July 19): Grasshoppers being reported from 
all southern and western counties of the State. Not alarming, but 
unless controlled will build up. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (July 2^) : The infestation in Missouri continues 
to be serious. Some second-brood emergence, apparently of Me- 
lanoplus mexicanus Sauss.
