The Seventeen Year Locust.

The Department OF Agriculture has
issued special bulletin with refer
epre to the appearance this year 4
thh insect popularity known as the
"seyenteen-year locust 1t is not
really a locust. but the clcada, and is
so termed In ,ae bulletin, but the
popular name is like to persist IN
spite Of the scientists
"A reference TO flies that came out
Of the ground at Plymouth. Mass, in
1853. is dug up. and the reference to
the Eeyenteen-year cicada Is oonsid-
cred certain. bat II IS claimed that
It must have been IN 1854 instead Of
1888 The subsequent appearance Of
the cicada In the Seventeenth cen
tury Is not recorded, but from l7S7
and every seventeen years thereafter
there has ben an account kept of the
temperance OF that insect. The
States they are known to visit are
fifteen, extending from Massachusetts
to Illinois IN the West. and South
Carolina ia the South The counties
In Kentucky in. which visitation
may be expected are Adair, Allen,
Bath, bourbon, Boyd. Breckenridge
Carter. Casey. Clark, Clihton Cum
berland, Estin. Fayette, Fleming,
Franklin, GreenHp. Jackson. jefferson
Laurel. Lewis, Mclean, Madison. Ma
son. Metcalfe. Montgomery, 0wsley,
Powell. Pulaski. Rockcas;le Russell
Shelby, Trlmble and Wayue.
The acutal damage caused by this
clcada is generally slight A full &C
count Of the appearance this year is
desired by the Department of Agri-
culture, as well as OF its failure to
appear in the localities mentioned
As 1t does not usually appear before
about the last week In MAY. It will
be well not to make report before
the middle OF June.
