The 17-year locusts are due next
July says an authority who has made
study of the subject. They made
their appearance in 1854 and again in
1871 and the last time in 1888. The
only damage done by them is the de-
posting of their eggs in the twigs of
large trees and the bodies of small
ones. They are apt to injure trees
in the nursery or young orchard.
They seem to thrive best in oak tim
Der, being seldom found anywhere
else and never in pine or hemlock for
ests. Fowls of every kind are fond
of them. Every time the locusts
make their appearance the story is
stated that they are terribly poison
