Since last Saturday the seventeen
year locusts have been making their ap-
pearance They come up i'll w"odlandur
ground that has been cleared since their
last appearance and are very destructive
to grass and young vegetation. For
next six weeks, their song, if it may he
called such will he heard in all directions.
1t is said that the male locust alone
"sings' while the female eats, each being
thus exempt from one quality, which is
so Objectionable to the suffering public.
Both the males and the females die about
six weeks after they emerge from the
ground. Their eggs are deposited upon
twigs and leaves. These hatch about
six weeks later and the larvae drop to
the ground and burrow into the earth to
remain seventeen years. When they first
come out Of the ground they arc Il rusty
| light brown color few minutes after
they shed their outside skin and appear
in bright green costume. 1t is SAID
| that the much dcspiscd English sparrow
destroys large quantities of locusts as
the insects arc helpless for a short time
after they emerge from the ground. They
are at the mercy of the sparrow who
proceeds to eat to his hearts content.
Young chickens are also fond of them
