Dangers and Precautions.

Nursery stock and small fruit trees will
fall as the chief victims Of the overzeal Of
Mrs. Cicada to deposit her eggs and there
by effect general twig- pruning, not es-
pecfally injurious to forest trees.
If you contemplate the setting out Of or
chards this spring you should ascertain
from old residents of your section whether
the cicadas appeared in the immediate vi
cfnity seventeen years ago. If this Is the
case you should by all means delay the
transplanting of trees until fall or next
spring. In orchards the less pruning done
this spring the less damage trees are likely
to suffer. Likewise budding and grating
should be avoided. Such is the advice
which Uncle Sans Department of Agricul-
ture has on tap for all who wisely inquire
thereof.

Only the male cicada sings. His musical
apparatus is a pair of small, shell-like, in
hated drums on his under side and at his
waist line. He vibrates these by the ac-
tion of very powerful muscles, which snap
the drum in and out, as you would the bot
tom of an oil can, but with incomprehensi-
Bile speed. Their sound is modified by ad-
1acent disks and sounding-boafds.

Does He stingP
The government entomologists anticipate
that sensational reports of painful stings
inflicted by the cicada will be circulated
during the coming season. So great was
the CONSERVATION on this account in the
great locust year, 1868, that people ran in
terror from the harmless insects while
fruits and even drinking water were under
suspicion of having been poisoned thereby.
While these scientists after continued eX-
periments have failed to provoke the cfcada
to sting them and while he Is neither pos
sessed of sting proper nor any poisonous
secretion, he may, rarely perhaps and by
accident, insert his slender beak into the
skfn causing only momentary pain like the
prick OF needle point. The insect cannot
defend itself against its insect enemies,
much less man..
The greatest locust year in the memory
Of men living today was 1868, when ap-
peared the grandparents of the brood due
this spring, together with the largest of the
southern or thirteen-year broods, whose
greatgrand children are due south of Mas
on and DiXons line in 1907. Again in 1885
the parents of this years cicadas appeared
in conjunction with the second largest of
the thirteen-year broods. But simultane-
Gus appearance of the largest northern and
southern broods will not occur again until
20S7. We will bequeath the woes of that
year to our grea eat-great-great-great-
grandchildren.
