of the complaint which he received, Another occurrence which 
was reported came from Eochelle , To::, a in McCulloch County, 
and is apparently of greater extent. Immediately following 
this report a freeze occurred which eliminated all the hugs, 
according to 'the correspondent'* It lias he en impossible for 
■us to make personal examination of this place, hut we are 
transmitting the information to Mr. Gable so as to keep him 
informed. 
C, P. Gillette: The green hug does some damage, especially to 
oats, nearly every spring in the southeastern part of the State, 
hut we have had no complaints concerning its injury during the 
past summer, and I do not know of an infested field at the present 
time. 
Oscar C. Bartlett: The grain aphis seems to be a minus quantity 
this winter so far. Cur winter grains are- showing nicely. We 
have no reports so far of the grain aphis. 
T. D P Urbahns: Tho green bug, although it probably occurs in 
small numbers during the winter' and spring months, is not considered 
to he of economic importance in the State. 
GRASSHOPPERS' (Acrid iidae) 
GENERAL W. R. Walton: General conditions as regards grasshopper in- 
STATEMENT festation throughout the country were very favorable at the 
close of the year 1925. 
Texas and W. P.. Walton: The season was marked by tho occurrence of t'roo 
Oklahoma regional outbreaks located in Texas and Oklahoma, respectively. 
The prompt marshalling of State and Federal forcer, however, 
and the interference of fortunate weather conditions served to 
repress these outbreaks and there is no present indication of 
trouble there in the immediate future. An unusual incident 
related by Fir. C. H. Gable was a local outbreak of Schistocerca 
obscur a... a true "bird grasshopper", 30 miles south of San 
Antonio, Tex. The insects were destroyed by spraying them with 
a l-to-80 solution of cattle dip while they were roosting in the 
shrubbery. The spray burned the foliage but destroyed 85 per 
cent of the hoppers. 
EASTERN STATES W..R; Walton: Many sporadic cases of more or less serious s injury 
to crops by grasshoppers were reported from the Eastern States 
during the course of the summer which was a dry one in most of 
that region. 
Montana 
W a R» Walton: A survey conducted in northern Montana during the 
fall indicates that a somewhat severe outbreak may be expected 
in Hill County of that State, and the State and Federal entomolo- 
gists are planning to meet the emergency with a control campaign 
during the spring.
