C. 0. Houghton (July £1). "Much less abundant than usual about 
Newark," 
Wc P. Flint (August 18). "Damage is being done in only a few 
localities in the southwestern part of the Stato. Aside from 
clover, young orchards and alfalfa have boon slightly injured." 
M. H. Swenk (August 15). "During lato July and early August ' 
grasshoppers were the most prominent insoct pests on the corcal 
and forago crops of Nebraska; in addition to the southeastern c 
counties mentioned in the last report, grasshoppors woro reported 
as seriously injurious at places in Knox, Custer, and Saline 
Counties."

B. A. Cooley (august 23). "Considerable late damage from grass- 
hoppers has occurred, especially whore control programs wero 
not carried out earlier in the season. The spraying of tho 
loaves has caused a docided decrease in tho yield of wheat. Oats 
and barloy have boon very seriously injured by tho hoppers eating 
off the entire hoads." 
L. P. Rockwocd (August 15). tl "Melanoplus sal tat o r, M. f einurrubrum . 
and M. atlanis are more than usually abundant in clover fields 
and waste places. Will cause damage to lato second-crop clover, 
corn, and gardens." 
LONG-WINGED LXUST ( Dissosteira longipennis Thorn. ) 
C. P. Gillette. "A severe outbreak of this insect over a practic- 
ally continuous area of nearly 40 miles in extent, covering 
portions of Pueblo, El Paso, Crowley, and Lincoln Counties was 
sufficiently alarming to cause Governor Oliver H. Shoup to call 
together the commissioners and tho county agents of theso counties 
and representatives of the office of Stato entomologist for a 
conference on the situation on July 1. A somewhat hasty survey 
of tea territory infested, had "boon made by "Mr. C L. "Corkilih^ <of 
the effice of State entomologist, and Mr. W. K, Sa.whill, county 
agont for Pueblo County, and an estimate made that a campaign 
could be put on for the control of the outbreak at an expense of, 
not to oxcoed, $10,000. This fund was promptly raised by the 
counties and the State, through tho promise of the Governor, and 
the campaign turned over to Mr, Corkins to put through. The wcrk 
was quickly organized and inside of ton days the grasshoppers were 
practically annihilated. Hot more than 10 per cent, it is esti- 
mated .escaped being poisoned. Theso grasshoppers had migrated in 
the nymph stage from 2 to 10 miles from their hatching grounds. 
At the time the campaign of destruction was inaugurated, winged 
individuals wero just beginning to appear. Tho area covered was 
devoted to grazing and dry-farming for the most part. Many crops 
were completely ruined while others were passed by without very 
serious damage. The poisoned bait used was arsenic bran-mash."
