The Locusts Again This Year.-Accord-
ing to the Bureau of Entomology of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington, Mary
land is to be visited next month by the l7-year
and 13-year locusts. The department has sent
out for distribution in the localities that Will
be visited by them circular which contains
map indicating the various points where they
will appear. The map refers to the l7-year'
brood, and the circular gives their distribution
as follows:
The region commences in Southeastern Mas,
sachusetts extends south across Long Island
and along the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland as far as the Chesa-
peake Bay then up the Susquehanna river,
in Pennsylvania, to point little below mar
risburg thence westw in Ohio, embracing
the southwestern corner OF the state ana the
northwestern portion of Kentucky, and then
upward through Southwestern. Indiana end
ing in Central Illinois 1t is possible also tnat
there is an eastward extension of the region
from Kentucky into Southern West Virginia,
and also in the counties of Buncombe and Nc
Dowell, in North Carolina, but as these APP
pearances were not verified in 1872 it is proba-
BILE that they belong to the l3year race
The 13-year locusts are not so numerous nor
so widely distributed as the 17-year brood. 1t
is stated that the periodical locust, when it ap-
pears in great numbers naturally causes con-
siderable alarm, and arouses fears for the safety
of shade trees and orchards.
