Prof. G. V. REILLY, the entomologist
of the Agricultural Department. says
that the country will soon be visited by
two great broods of locusts, of the seven
teen and thirteen varieties, and that this
will be the first time in 221 years that
they have appeared in conjunction. They
will not prove greatly destructive, and
the injury they will infiict will probably
be confined to fruit trees. The vista
ton will be prolonged until late in July.
