.LOCUSTS DUE
IN TWO WEEKS
THE 13-YEAR VARIETY is NOT
VERY RUCTiVE-FEEO FOR
CHICKENS.

Columbia, Mo-, May 2O.-In two
wees the cicadas, the 13-year 10
Gusts, are due In Missouri. They
should have been here sooner, but
were delayed by the cool weather
this spring. Since they appear only
once in thirteen years, Leonard
Haseman, the state entomologist, is
preparing to help in their entertain
ment by sending out bulletins to
farmers in every part of the state SO
that the behavior OF the insects may
be noted. Mr.. Hasemans idea is
just what they do on their infre-
quent visits.
The cicadas will visit all parts Of
Missouri, Aransas, Texas, Tennessee.
Kentucky, parts OF Indiana and the
southern states They will disappear
about July 10. Then they will be
followed hy the dog-day harvest fly
in August. These are the 2-year
locusts. \ brood of 17-year locusts
is due in northwest Missouri next
year. There are about thirty broods
besides the cicades in the United
States, but their respective periods
come in different years.
The 13-year locusts often do not
damage fruit trees unless they are
small and near heavily wooded lands.
Hogs and chickens are fond of them
and if they are turned into the
woods before the locusts grow wings
and while they are still crawling
they will eat them. Nothing can be
done to kill them after they get on
the wing. Whtewashing of trees
has been tried, but is ineffective.

Cotton Acreage Increase.

FL Reno, Okla, May 20-The last
two years demonstrated the fact that
next to alfalfa, cotton is the most prof
table crop that can be raised here,
and this spring there has been a re
markable increase in the acreage
planted to that staple. In the new
lands in the pasture around Darling
ton. farmed for the first time this
year, cotton will be given much atten-
ton. and in all portions of the county
there is a larger area planted than
ever before. But the greatest increase
probably, is along the line of the st.
Louis, FL Reno and Western Railway
between FL Reno and Guthrie. The
cotton acreage in that region will
probably foot up 10000 acres, an in
crease of at least 800 per cent over
that of last year. This state OF af-
fairs is largely due to the interest ia
ken by the Fort Smith and Western
people, who have been untiring in
their efforts to induce farmers to
plant cotton and have furnished cot
ton seed by the car load to the farm
ers.
A. c. Dixon of the Fort Smith and
Western stated yesterday that while
FL Reno received only 200 bales of
cotton last year the receipts this year
will amount to 1,5O0 or 2,000 bales.
