GENERAL FEEDERS 
GRASSHOPPERS (Acrididae) 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (April): No eggs hatched yet out of doors. 
Brought in some eggs from two areas, one covered "by snow throughout 
the winter, the other not so covered. Eggs in "both lots have hatched 
in approximately the same numbers and at the same time in the labora- 
tory. 
MORMON CRICKET (Anabrus simplex Hald.) 
Montana. A. L. Strand (April 22): The warm weather of the past 10 days 
has caused the hatching of Mormon crickets in large numbers in 
southern and western Montana. 
Idaho. C. Wake land (April 21): Mormon crickets "began hatching in the 
districts near Boise March 15, and now are hatching in numbers at 
Riggins in Idaho County and near Mountain Home in Elmore County. 
After "beginning to hatch they were held in check for 2 weeks by cold 
weather. The higher areas are later than normal and no hatching has 
"been reported in eastern Idaho, "but in the warmer, lower areas enormous 
hordes are now "beginning to attack range vegetation. 
CUTWORMS (iloctuidae) 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (April 21): Cutworms are very abundant, attacking 
vegetables, particularly during the last week of March and the first 
week of April. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (April 2h) ; Cutworms have apparently caused more damage 
this spring than usual. Injury to cabbage, tomatoes, young "beans, 
and other plants has "been general. 
Iowa. H. E. Jaques (April 2^) • Many cutworm larvae are in evidence. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (April 7): Cutworms ( Chorizar^rotis auxiliaris 
Grote) are very plentiful in grass lands and wheat in Harper, Sumner, 
and Bourbon Counties. Most of them are army cutworms, but some small 
variegated cutworms ( Lycophotia mar/?;aritosa saucia Hbn. ) are present. 
Cutworms in general are not as plentiful as in the past two seasons. 
Oklahoma. F. A. Fenton (April 20): The army cutworm (C_. auxiliaris ) 
caused serious injury to first-year alfalfa and oats in Alfalfa 
County. 
Colorado. S. C. McCarapbell (April 8): We have received reports from most 
of the counties of eastern Colorado of damage by C. auxiliaris ; 
however, we have had a snow or two every week and very cold weather. 
(April IS): We are being besieged with reports from northeastern 
Colorado.
