1885 the government offered a

IA mysterious tribe Of in
sects commonly called So
GUST or ''seventeen-year-lo-
Gust" II Is ''locust year."
The brood Of cicadas, or
"locusts," that appears this
year is Of a race that appears
every thirteen years, having
last shown up in 1894, and is
one Of the largest and best
known 70 the chronological
woI Id Of all the cicada tribes.
This brood will appear this
year In a considerable portion
OF the states OF Alabama, Ar
Kansas, Georgia, Illinois, Ok
lahomo, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina aud South Carolina.
In Missouri their appearance
will be restricted, practically,
10 the southern and eastern
parts OF the state; south of
the Missouri and east of
the Grand rivers will mark
their greatest development.
The fact of these insects
having been popularity mis-
named "locusts' has given
occasion 10 many instances to
unwarranted worry on the
part OF the uniformed agri-
cnlturists, who foresee great
destruction Of crops in the
wake Of the ~''locusts." Were
they true locusts "a kind OF
grassbopper), there would be
sufficient cause for uneasiness
but from the cicada there
need be no apprehension Of
danger. They never do
anything worse than kill a
few tender branches OF the
trees, where the female has
punctured the twigs for the
purpose OF inserting the eggs
therein, In providing for the
next brood.

NO BOIL WEEVILS.
Government Expert Talks of the
Pest.

F. H. Chittenden, assistant entom-
ologist of the department Of agricul-
ture, Wednesday gave it as his firm
belief that there is not boil weevil
east of the Mississippi, with the ex-
ception of the State of Louisiana.
So far as the pest being found in
Laurens County is concerned, Mr..
Chittenden does not think there is a
remotest possibility of such a thing.
'I heard of a pest in South Caro-
lima and elsewhere in the South. .
Mr. Chittenden said, "but I am salts
fed it is not the Texas boil weevil.
So far the pest has not been found
anywhere east of the Mississippi,
with the exception of Louisiana.
When asked is it was possible that
the weevil could have been carried to
South Carolina in cotton seed secured
by seed crushecs from Texas and
other states in the Southwest he said:
There is only one chance in a mil
lion for such thing to happen. 1t
could only occur through some per-
SON knowingly and wilful!y carrying
the weevil from its present location
in the Southwest to the other States
in the South There is not the least
for people in South Carolina to be-
come worried over what they think is
the genuine boil we!evil, for l am
satisfied it will not be found to be
such upon a careful examination.
