LOOK OUT FOR LoCUsTS.
This is the Season for the Seventeen
Year Variety.

This will be a season of the seventeen
year locusts The Department of Agricul-
ture has sent out circular warning thoss
interested to be on the lookout for the
brood. The visitation Of the locusts is not
as serious the noise and the disturbance
they make would indicate. But they come
in such numbers and so I'LL the woods with
their singing that it appears to the casual
observer that there must be veritable
plague of the insects that cannot help doing
immense damage.
The brood that is due this year about the
last of May or the first of June is we'll
known to entomologists and has been more
or less definitely traced back to 1888. 1t ap-
peared then in New England. and was fol-
lowed by plague OF sickness that carried
of many OF the Indians and the white set
tiers The Indians knew the periodical
cicala of old, and assured the whites when
1t first appeared that 1t would be followed
by q plague The brood was lost sight of
after its appearance in the early days, and
the next authentic record of II is In 1877,
from which point the record has been def
nitely kept to the present time. The range
of the brood has been mapped by the De-
partment of Agriculture and extends in
spots from Cape Cod to northern Georgia
and as far west as Illinois. Washington
Is one of the localities that is always IA
yored.
The locust does some damage to young
orchards. but this can usually be counter
acted by vigorous pruning after the last of
the brood has disappeared.
There Is another distinct brood known as
the thirteen-year brood that has a more
restricted range. but has been almost as
definitely traced. The time of the emer-
gence Of the seventeen-year adults from the
ground varies somewhat with the season,
June is about the time they may be ex-
pected.
