THE LOCUSTS COMING
Professor Willis MarshaII's Prediction
Said to be Coming True-locusts
Have Appeared in Various Parts Of
the Country.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 17.-Early in April
Professor Willis Marshall Of this place,
who foretold the Frisco earthquake,
told his friends that locusts will come
this year, not only the 17-year locusts,
but the 13-year locusts, and that this
is something which happens only once
in 200 years.
Just now those who heard Mr.. Mar
shall make the prediction are reading
with wonder the reports from all parts
of the world that the locusts are COM
ing on scheduled time. Here is a dis
patch which the Associated Press car
ried from Budapest yesterday:
"A swarm Of locusts of the 17-year
variety destroyed the garden products
Of the finest part of the Hungarian
puszta, the great plain of Hungary.
The insects have come from Morocco
in extraordinary numbers. They have
destroyed all the vegetation on about
$4,000 square kilometers 11000 square
miles), devouring barley, rye, wheat,
maize( beetroots and turnips. 1t is
feared that a famine in cattle fodder
will ensue."
Appear in the West.
The following special from Crooks
ton, Minn., is published by the Minne-
apolis Journal "Locusts, thought to
be the 17-year variety are found in the
fields here, and it is thought swarms
of them will be Matched in the next
few months. Farmers do not believe
they will do much damage"
From the fruit district of Colorado
comes the following telegram:
Grand Junction, Col, July IA. -
Swarms of locusts of the Rocky noun
tain variety infest the orchards and
melon patches Of the Grand Junction
district Their ravages extend as far
west at Salt Lake City"
Other reports from Washington and
oregon tell of locusts being SO numer-
Gus as to excite the fear of the fruit
growers and to threaten the coming
harvest of grain.
Conditions arc Right.
If the prediction is true that locusts
are coming in droves, the winds which
sweep over the corn fields of Nebraska
and Iowa and the wheat fields Of Min
nesota and South Dakota during Aug
ust and September, will bring with
them billions OF locusts.
1t is claimed, that according to the
records and conditions of the present
season, things are just as they should
be for Matching the eggs.
The fact that there are no flies worth
mention is one of the conditions of the
season which causes the scientist to
believe the locusts will take advantage
of the opportunity. 1t is late in July
and yet flies are not pest to man
kind in the west; few of them are
seen following the sweating teams in
the fields and the houses are almost
free of them.
