Republican Observer, Richland
Center: Seventeen-year 'locusts are
now found in all parts of the state
and in several sections great damage
has been done by them. AS soon as
Matched they swarm from the ground
and take to the woods, where they
do harm to the growing timber. The
pests appeared in Richland county
last week, although not in large
numbers. The insects will increase
as the season advances, however, and
they may do some damage here. Two
OF the insects were captured and
brought to the Republican Observer
Office, where they attracted great
deal of curiosity. Each bug has IA
well defined avn on both wings,
which is taken by some as sign of
war and famine.
