the following rotation Of crops:
Corn and cowpeas, soy beans, vel.

and hairy vetch followed by lespe-
deza, cowpeas. soy beans or neanuts
second year; and cotton third year.
Turn under all the corn or cotton

inch deeper than the land has ever
been broken before. Lay on the rows
five feet wide with a shovel plow as
deep as one mule can pull It. Apply
a mixture Of 500 pounds Of per cent

16 per cent acid phosphate in the drill

Run harrow and fill the burrows
and plant the best seed corn over
the fertilizer. Harrow until the corn
is about four inches tall. then give
shallow cultivation every week and

SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST DUE
Thlrteen-Year Brood Expected to Ap-
pear lE Lower Half Of the
Mississippi Valley.
(By c. L. MARLATT.l

Two important broods of the Pc
riodical cicada-the 13-year and IT.
year locust-are due to appeal during
1911 in different parts of the United
States.
One Of these, the 17-year-race ex-
tends from New York southwark into
North Carolina, in general, lying east
of the Allegheny mountains. The 49,
year race covers the lower half of the
Mississippi valley.
Both Of these broods have been
very carefully studied in past years
and their distribution has been, in the
main, probably accurately deter
mined. The approaching reappear-
ance, however, of these broods Of
cicada has led to inquiries, and cir
culars have been issued by the gov
ernment, and also the experiment sta
tions Of various states, to meet these
inquiries, and also for the purpose of
securing reports of occurrence to add
to the present knowledge of the dis
tribution of these broods.
The 17-year is one of the best
recorded broods, since its almost ex.
clusively eastern range brings it into
I the immediate vicinity of the larger
towns and more populated districts of
the Atlantic coast. 1t has been re-
ported in Connecticut regularly every
II years since 1924 and in New Jersey
since 1775, and almost equally long
records of its regular visits in other
states have been made. It's last ap-
pearance was in 1894, although scat
tering brood appeared in 1910.
According to a circular of warning
issued by the New Jersey experiment
station, these insects will appear dur,
ing the last days of May, 1911, and
will continue throughout June; dis
appearing by the end Of the month
The injury is done by the females in
laying the eggs in twigs and small
branches, making sllts that do moi
heal. These result in the ultimate
death beyond the point of injury Of
every punctured branch less than one
half an inch in diameter, and, where
there are many punctures On the
trunks of small trees or on branches
up to three-quarter inch, these are apt
to be seriously injured or killed.

who contemplate setting out trees OIL

areas, are warned of the danger O.

bushes. Then she said to the boy:
You call at the house In about
two hours and I'll give you the fifty
cents, but If hear of you catching
another rabbit, or If you capture a
bird Of any sort I'll make you

the lad after he was thirty feet away.

She hunted for other snares. and
she found three and destroyed them.
After a couple of hours she started
for home. Just as she left the woods
she passed a young man entering
them. He was well dressed and a
stranger, and the manner In which he
raised his hat and his deferential bow
told her that he lived in the city. He
was staying in the village with some
relative for a few days, probably. and
out for a stroll, the same as she had
been.
That evening the boy called at the
house. His fifty cents was ready. but
ne would not accept it. He brought a
note to be delivered and he sat down
with grin on his face while Miss
Gertrude answered it. 1t read:

perienee, however, indicates that trees
thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture or lime wash are apt to be
avoided by the cicada, especially il
there are other trees or woods in the
neighborhood on which they can
oviposit. The most reliable means OF
protecting nurseries and young
orchards is by collecting the insects in
bags or umbrellas from the trees in
early morning or late evening when
they are somewhat torpid. Such
collections should be undertaken al
the first appearance of the cicada and
repeated each day.

Too hu(i Conversation
What QueeTsd Ol.|aub

II was not because Bob Unglaub
had a poor year that Jim McAleer de-
cided to get rid Of him. There Is al
ways a chance OF a player of his type
coming back to his best form, but
even II Bob had played brilliantly IL
is questionable IL he would have re-
NAMED with the local team another
season.
The fact that Unglaub's converse
tional proclivities are not blessed with
terminal facilities decided his future
so far as McAleer was concerned.
BY the older players Unglaub was
never taken seriously. He could say
what he pleased and he did not make
any impression. But one day Sir Rob-
ert made an assertion which, to Nc
Aleer's mind, would have detrimen-
tai effect on the young players on the
team, and there and then he decided
that the Nationals could spare ing
laub.
II was during one of the games in
the fall when Somerlot was playing
that some one In the stand remarked
TO Unglaub about his having an under
study. Unglaub, facing the stand,
then made this announcement: THE
Pennsylvania railroad will pay me a
premium on the fares II collects from
first basemen being sent here TO take
my job
AS Somerlot was within earshot OF
this boast, and McAleer also heard 1t,
Unglaub's fate was sealed there and
