 very trying on account of the com-
 bined scourgs. of gras.hoppers. birds
 and protracted drouth, writes c R

 sl Dry. Fsrm at Cochise, Ar;sons. With reference to Mir FillerupS re- port r..,Tred to above. the station En- tomoloeis', A W Morrill,, states that tbere are two especially destructive kinds of grasshoppers found in the Sulphur Spring valley. One of these is the military grssshopper, . large black grsssbopper with yellow mark ings, and the other is . more slender green grssshopper. he former is fonnd in Southrasfern Arisc nc in more or less destructive numh-:. each year. The latter, bn-ever. hes not been brought to the attention nf the Station previous to the pact summer. Mir T J Leeson reports that this is the fret year in hi. renembrsnce that the green grasshoprsr has been present ip injurious numbers.
 The Station Eotomoloxist hes prss pared . msnuscript, giving rather Iuli directions for che control of srsss. boppers, under different conditions including the use of hopper dosers.
