III greater numbers than ever IN spite OF
the EFFORTS that We're made by the French
Administration last year t" annlmlate
the pests. 1t is now believed that they

fact e,;vas ro,l;7;n,, son,o of +ha ,,ro
diqions numbers in which the terrible
insect NAV multrlv durin,, its nropress
across the Sahara. Great clouds Of the
I,eusts have aIr,adv been seen on the
northern edge of the Sahara making
their way north The news comes from
Touprurt md Ghardoio in the sahara
that carly this wear the Iocusts suddenly
invaded those pIane, in such enormous
numb rs that for rour hours thew fairly
darkened the heavens About a month
before similar r)ouls of ,nnsts were re-
ported in the valley of the Niger River
n the Snudan and il il holieved that in
the four succeeding weeks they had
iourpeved TO the northern part of the
Sahara, Thanks TO the experience that
has been rajned during the three past
wears Of ossant warfare with the pests,
It is honed that a large pnrt Of the crop
this season will be saved, though at enor-
mons py1rnse to the Government in tho
WAY Of digring pits and CARRYING out
other measures by which thew check tho
further advance of the invading insects.
