the locusts, which are making their up.
pcarancc Ia such great numbers, are not
molcsiing fruit, grain OF vegetables a. yet
The only damage done is tho killing Of
young aud tender trees, many Of which
die from the ncisions made by the insects
In dcposiiing their eggs. The secretary Of
the Iowa State Agricultural society says ho
has received Information from Muscatno
that there are millions Of locusis In that
county but that no especial damage has
vet been reported. II seems TO be the gen.
eral opinion here that the locus,s In eastern
Iowa are not Of the Hcyeniecn.ycm variety,
but oi q harmless class that como around
frequently, seven ycan ago being the umC
Of the last visitation.
