G. M. list (May 24): Grasshoppers are moderately to very 
abundant. Hatching began about May 1. About at height now. 
Situation probably not so bad as last year. 
C. Wakeland (May 21): We are just beginning to receive re- 
ports on grasshoppers. The season is later than usual, with very 
much more precipitation than normal, so that hatching has been 
delayed. Eg^s are beginning to hatch in the Lewiston district; 
and we have reports also- of hatching from Cassia County. We 
expect rather severe injury in a few districts of the State, 
namely, Cassia and Bingham Counties, 
G. G. Schweis (May 21): Grasshoppers of various species have 
been reported in large numbers from three counties of western 
Nevada. These hoppers have just hatched or are still in the 
process. Considerable poi soned-bran bait is being used, with 
success. 
G. F. Knowlton (May): Eggs began to hatch in the vicinity 
of Logan during the last few days in April. In early May hatch- 
ing was quite general in Tooele County and northern Utah. By 
the middle of the month the young hoppers were being reported 
from Miller County as becoming abundant, and toward the end of 
the month they were being very generally reported from the 
entire northern part of the State. (Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
CUTWORMS (Noctuidae) 
E. IT. Cor}'- (May 13): Truckers report an unusual abundance 
of cutworms. 
A. I.utken (April 28): Cutworms are general and very abundant. 
T. H. Parks (May 25): Cutworms ( Nephelodes emmedonia Cram.) 
are very abundant. They destroyed about 3 acres of bluegrass in 
a pasture in Harrison County. The weather is very dry. A 
disease is killing man;'- of the worms. Climbing cutworm injury 
to apple trees was reported from Erie, Columbiana, and Mahoning 
Counties. 
J. H. Bigger (Ma**): Variegated cutworms ( Lycophotia margari- 
tosa saucia Hbn. ) were reported in considerable numbers from 
April 25 to May 10, in western Illinois. 
W. A. Price (April 23): The bristly cutworm (Polia rsnigera 
Steph. ) and the clay-backed cutworm ( Peltia gladiaria Morr. ) 
have been reported from several sections of the State, where 
they have caused much damage to grass, clover, alfalfa, and 
tobacco in the bed.
