SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST DUE
Thirteen-Year Brood Expected to Ap.
pear lE Lower Half Of the
Mississippi Valley.
(BY C. L. MARLATT.O

(By c. l.. MARLATT.)
Two important broods of the Pc
r1odical 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 1t into
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 ITS, and almost equally long

OF 1909, as compared with that for
1904.
There were 2,59s manufacturing estab.
lishments in 1909 and 1890 in 1904, an
increase Of 1,07s, or II per cent.
The capital invested, as reported in
1909, was $72,393,OO0, gain of $22,-
$4,000, or A per cent, over $50, ,256 900
in 1904. The average capital per estab-
iisnment was approximately $2s,OO in
1909, and $4,000 in 1904.
Ihe cost of materials used was s36..
$4,000 in 1909, as against $25,8O1 900
IN 1904, an increase of $11,125,OOO, or 43
per cent. The average cost of materials
per establishment was approximately
$4,000 in 1909 and $4,000 in 1904. In
addition to the component materials
which enter into the products of the
establishment for the census year there
are included fuel, rent of power and
heat, and mill supplies. The cost Of
materials, however, does not include un-
used materials and supplies bought either
for speculation or for use during a
subsequent period.
The value of products was $sO,555,-
900 in 1909 and s57, ,451, 900 in 1904, an
increase of $23, ,1O4, 900, or 40 per cent.
The average per establishment was ap-
proximately 1000 in 1909 and $3s, 900
in 1904,
The value of products represents the
product as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year and
does not necessarily have any relation
to the amount of sales for that year.
The values under this head also include
the amount received for work done on
materials furnished by others.

MUST GIVE FREE COUNSEL
Upon Matters in Which County
is Interested, States Attor-
ney Must Give Advice
Without Fee

\ question which has been 60
ing the rounds of the Stanley
county press and is being asked
and reasked by a great many of
our people, is whether or not the
states attorney has the right to
charge for counsel furnished to the
various organized townships which
have recently held special elections
for the purpose of bonding their
townships to raise money to build
roads, dams, or embankments on
the land il their respective town
ships. The question came up at
a meeting held at Davenport in
which plans were discussed to hold
a special election, and to dispose
of the bonds it was necessary to
have the election regular and ac-
cording to law and some one sug-
gested employing an attorney,
when the question was asked,
what is our states attorney for?'
We have taken the trouble to
look the matter up and find that
the South Dakota Political Code
Sec. $50, has the following to say
in part on the duties of the states
attorney:
He shall without fee give opin-
ions and ad>i ice to the board of
county commissioners and other
civil officers of his county, when
requested by such board or officers,
upon all matters in which the
county is interested or relating to
the duties of such board or officers
in which the state or county may
have an interest.
AS the township officers are
part of the civil officers of the
county is evident that the states
attorney is required to furnish ad-
vice and opinions in the matter of
bonding and holding special elec.
tions in any of the townships in
his county.

You Can't Lose

Sioux Falls Press: There may
not be another land opening for
some years and the Press would
advise homeseekers who wish to
insure their future prosperity by
settling down on a South Dakota
farm not to wait. Instead let them
go into the market and purchase
decided land to which they can ac-
quire immediate title. There are
bigger prices and more of them in
bargains in South Dakota land
than were offered in the Rosebud
drawing. There is hardly piece
of land in South Dakota on which
a purchaser will not make big
money if he acquires it now at the
price asked by the owner. Some
of this land is held at a price
equal to that in older states, but it
is bargain at that. You can
hardly make a mistake in buying
South Dakota land. 1t is a sure
