SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST
IS DUE SURE THIS YEAR
Agricultural Department Has Sent Out
Warning Against Insects.

In view of the fact that warning
has just been given by the Agricultural
Department of the return of Il seven
teen-Year lOcusts, the coming summer,
a description of the destructive insect
will be of interest. In its general ac-
ceptance of the term "locust" is strict
ly applicable only to certain insects of
the 5rder of Orthoptere of the family
Acryidae, having the attributes of mi
grafton.
The biology of the insects may be
briefly described. The females eXcavate
holes in the earth, in which the eggs
are deposited regularly arranged in a
long cylindrical mass enveloped in a
glutinous secretion. The young larvae
hatch and Immediately begin their de-
structive career. Chev increase rapid
ly in size, and a they approach the
state of full development the rudiments
of wings begin to appear. Naturally, in
this state they are incapable of flight,
but their locomotive powers are never
theless extensive for their voracity is
great.
Once winged and perfect, their powers
become infinitely more disastrous re-
doubled by the migratory instinct.
While q laws eJlatJng this instinct
are not { perfectly understood, food
and temperature are known to have
much to do with it, anan there is a ten
dency for the flights to lake particu-
lar direction, varied by the physical cir
cumstances of the breeding districts.
1t is likewise certain that each species
has its area of constant location, in
which it always exists, and its area of
extraordinary migration to the extremes
of which it only occasionally extends.
Perhaps the most feasible of the sug-
gestions as to the causes of the migra-
tory impulse is that locusts naturally
bree2 in dry, sandy districts in which
fC0d is scarce, and thus impelled to
wander in order to procure the neces-
sarles of life but against this it has been
argued tnat swarms bred in a highly
productive district in which they have
temporarily settled, viii seek the barren
home of their ancestors. Another in
genlous suggestion is that migration is
intimately connected with a dry con
dition of the atmosphere, urging them
to move on until compelled to stop for
food or provocative purposes.
The distance particular swarms may
travel depends upon a variety Of circum-
stances, but one thousand miles may be

FINANCIAL AID
Is Being Given the Movement Looking
to the Betterment of National Road.

The business and professional men
and farmers of the eastern end of Gar
rett county including all that territory
along the old National Road from Key
ser's Ridge on the west to the Allegany
county line on the east, and as far north
as the Mason & Dixon line, have raised
by subscription a sum of money equal
to that raised by the Frostburg Board
of Trade to keep up the agitation for
the building of the fve-mile stretch of
the old National Road in Garrett county
from the AlIegany county line west, a
model road by the State Highway Com
mission, and those interested declare
that the agitation shall only cease when
something tangible has been accom-
plished
The people of the two counties who
are directly interested in the recon-
struction of the old highway, are deep
ly in earnest in their endeavors to have
the Highway Commission do something
toward carrying out the original inten-
ton of making the old road part of

State

taken as a moderate estimate. Some
times it its very much more. AS rule,
the progress is only gradual and this
adds vastly to the devastating effects,
which may be lkened to those caused by
a foreign army spreading destruction
throughout an invad ID country. When
an extensive swarm settles in district
all vegetation rapidly disappears, and
then hunger urges the insects on an
other stage. Such is their voracity
that they have been known to attack
dry animal substances, and it is claimed
that even cannibalism IS the outcome of
the failure of all other kinds of foods.
The sizes of swarms varies greatly,
and there are authentic accounts of
such large ones that the light of the
sun was temporarily obscured.
AS to methods of checking the ravages
of locusts, unfortunately little can be
said. Some little can be done by de-
stroying the eggs and the young insects
before they develop wings, but infin-
itesimally little can be done with the
winged hordes having the migratory in
stinct upon them. Starvation the out
come of their own work does much. 1t
has been found that with all migratory
locusts the breeding places or true
homes, are comparatively barren dis
tricts, usually elevated plateaus. Hence
the progress of civilization, with its
concomitant necessity for converting
these heretofore barren plains into
areas of fertility may and probably will
gradually lessen the evil.
Locusts, like all other animals, have
their natural enemies. They are greed
lily devoured by many birds, and it has
many times been noticed that migratory
swarms of the insects were closely d.
lowed by myriads of birds. Pre' cory
insects of other orders also attacl them,
especially in the unwinged condition,
and they have deadly parasite foes.
Although they are to US an unmiXed
evil, the locusts are considered delicacies
by certain savage and semi-ciyilized
people, and are eaten in large quanti-
ties. For some time they have not been
excessively destructive to this region,
and there is little cause to fear their
periodic arrival.

A MAGNIFICENT EXHIBIT
COlOniSt Car of the Great Northern
Attracts People to See Exhibits.

The special car Of exhibits showing
the products of Oregon, Washington
and Montana, sent out by the Great
Northern Railroad to advertise the
great natural and agricultural resources
of the northwest, was brought to Oak
land Tuesday morning and after being
placed on the siding in the Baltimore
and Ohio depot yards was the centre of
attraction and was visited by several
thousand people from Oakland and the
surrounding community, all of whom
were greatly entertained and Interested
by the exhibits of fruit, grasses, grains
and minerals, as well as lumber and
other forest products attractively ar
ranged along both sides Of the car.
The fruit exhibit, showing apples,
peaches, cherries, pIums, and many
other varieties, encased in glass jars
and preserved by a secret process, look
ed as fresh as they did when plucked
from the trees upon which they grew.
All were extra large and were of course
the choicest specimens that could be
secured
The car was in charge Of Mr. O. A.

Great Northern Railway, and Mr. f. A.
Wilson, assistant agricultural agent of
the same system, both courteous gentle
men who took pleasure in explaining any
question that was asked and in showing
the exhibits to their visitors

attended by great crowd Of people,

gentlemen having charge of the colonist

for attending as the lecture was most
interesting from start to finish. Mr..
Atwood demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton of all that he was an interesting
and lucid talker, thoroughly in touch
with his work and the success awaiting
those who seek homes in the northwest.
The car was taken from here to Key
ser yesterday morning where the ex-
hibits were thrown open to the public
of that city. A counter exhibit has
been arranged by the fruit growers of
the Keyser section which compare fav-
orably and in some cases excelled that
of the northwest.

COOKING MAIN At
kITzMILLER RAIDED
BY Sheriff Shartzer and Deputies Who
Placed Participants Under Arrest.

Last Saturday evening Sheriff Shart-
ger was put wise to the fact that a
cooking main was to be pulled off at
kitzmiller, over on the Western Mary
land railroad, that night and that it
would be attended by sports and near
sports from various points along the
line and also from the Georges Creek
region and he accordingly arranged to
be present, not as spectator or one in
accord or sympathy with the affair, but
in his official capacity as a preserver of
the peace and the representative of the
law
With six deputies the Sheriff left
Oakland via the overland route and ar
rived at Kitzmiller about two O'Clock
Sunday morning, just when the interest
in the main was at its height and after
four prime birds had "bit the dust" for
the edifcation of those present.
The main was held in the opera house
at Kitzmiller and it has been variously
estimated that the number present to-
tailed about $50 men and boys. At the
foot of the stairway leading from the
street to the upper floor of the building
a guard had been placed to give an
alarm to those in attendance should the
officers appear. The guard was easily
captured by the Sheriff who slipped
pair of handouts over his wrists and
was left alone while the officers made
their way to the room above, taking
the participants entirely by surpris'
At sight of the officers they were re Jg-
nized and a scramble was mat to
escape, many going through the win
dow, glass, sash and all being carried
with the men hurting through the air
to the ground distance of twenty feet
or more. In the meantime the hand
cutfed guard escaped, carrying away
with him the bracelets.
