BROOD vi TO APPEAR
IN THE EASTERN STATES
LITTLE DAMAGE EXPECTED
The Department of Agriculture VIII
Use COmbatiye Measure and
Wants Informasian

Washington, d. c.. June Brood
vi of the cicada, commonly known as
the seyenteen-ycar locust, is expected
to appear in May and June this year
in scattered localities covering much
of the northern and central states ly-
ing between the Hudson and Missis-
sippi rivers, extending along the Ap-
palachian elevated plateau into north
ern Georgia and South Carolina. This
particular brood made its last appear
ance in this territory in 1898.
The seventeen-year locust covers in
its range nearly all of the United
States from the Mississippi Valley
eastward. The curious feature OF its
regular periodic appearances and it's
long subterranean life give it perhaps
the greatest popular interest which
attaches to any insect on this con-
tinent. and uead to many inquiries
with every reappearance of any lm-
rortant brood. There are two races
of this insect: "a the seventecnsyear
race which occurs in IL different
broods over the northern and central
United Etates, and % the thirteen
year race, which occurs in different
broods throughout the southern
any of these broods are characterize
by great swarms they naturally cause
fears for the safety of trees. The ac-
tua1 damage, however, is slight and
is accomplished by he female cicada
when she cuts the bark of the tree
in the deposition other eggs.
While the expected brood II not an
important one, it covers mcn wid
er territory than any of the other
17-year broods. According To the 'e-
cords, the lumber of locusts 10 he ex-
pected over most of this territory is
not great, except in the northwest
and in the southwest.
A careful canvass Of the whole q
cada area was made by The buraa of
entomology with the assistance Of the
state entomologists in 1898. These
reprost, if they may be relied upon,
extend the range of the periodical
cicada in Wisconsin and Michigan
much farther north than any OF the
old periods. The localities assigned
to this brood in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia, and in
eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, are,
in the main. in counties in the ele-
vated mountainous district, and the
correctness of the reference TO this
brood is established By earlier records
as ptIl as indicated By the elevation.
Damage Done by Cieada and Partial
Remedies.
Ordinary repellenr substances, SUI, Z
as kerosene emulsion OF carbolic-ac'd
solutions, seem to have very little eff

said Mrs. Susie Honeycut, who re-
sides at 1915 Detroit avenue, in West
Knoxville, as she extended her left
hand and displayed three rings that
looked like they were buried in the
flesh of her finger.
"My appetite was poor and my di-

Honeycut, "and | determined to try

gratifying. For more than a year
she could scarcely eat anything at all

time never touched meat of any kind
Now she can eat almost anything and
has gained more than eight pounds
in weight.
"Motl.er had tried several doctors
but the medicine prescribed for her
failed to do her any good, and she
lust went from bad to worse. She
was nervous and excitable, and often
laid awake all night. She could not
rest or sleep and we were terribly
alarmed about her. Now her health
is better than 1t has been for years
and we feel Tanlac has been blessing
to out family. Even my husband
consented to take Tanlac, and he, too,
is loud in its praise.
"You may state that we read the
many testimonials in the newspapers

in the hope that others suffering as
we were may find relief"

And dreams of them at night,

thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture or a lime wash are apt to
be avoided by the eicada, especially
if there are other trees or woods in
the neighborhood on which they can
oviposit. The most reliable asmeans
of protecting nurseries and young
orchards is by collectinb the insects
in bags OF umbrellas from the rees
in early morning or late evening
when they are somewhat torpid. Such
collections should be undertaken at
the first appearance of of the cicada
and repeated each day.
Vigorous young trees often recover
in three or four years from the eff
fccts of loss of, or injury to, a
considerable percentage of their
branches. However. it is difficult to
overcome the unsymmetrical appear
ance which will commonly result from
the indiscriminate pruning often nee
essary as result of the female in
socts work.
The worst affected braches should
be removed. The less injured limbs
may be coated on the wounded parts
with grating wax or moderately
hard soap. These protective cover
ings should De renewed at least once
year, preferably in the spring, until
the wounds are entirely healed over.
1t may be expedient, in thecase of q
badly wounded recently budded or
grated tree to cut it back nearly to
the bud or graft, so that an entirely
new top may be made.
In the case of older trees. the main
object of treatment is to secure the
rapid healing of the wounds and pre-
vent their being used as points of sec
ondary infection by other insects.
The worst injured limbs in such
trees should also be, cut out, so that
all the vigor of the plant may be di-
rected to the remaining wood. The
healing process may be accelerated
by thorough cultivation and the use of
fertilizers on the land about the trees
attacked.
The scientists of the bureau of en-
tomology are keeping close watch OF
due to appear, with a view to min
imizing the damage. The bureau Will
be glad to receive reports of any oc-
currances of this brood. Such re-
ports should be made about the 10th
of June, because shortly after their
that date the common annual cieadas
will begin to make their appearances
and there viii be likelihood of con-
fusing the latter with the periodical
species. Whenever the observer is in
doubt it would be well to send speci-
mems for determination. The report
should be filled out with the name
of the locality, including state, coun-
ty and town, and the name OF the
observer. The information given
should include the date of first appear
ance or emergence of the cicada, the
date OF its general disappearance. and
the numbers in other words, wheth-
er very numerous or scattering. The
periodical cicadas may be expected to
emerge from the middle to the end
of May and scattering individuals
may be found up to the middle OF
June.
A small brood of the thirteen-year
race OF the periodical cicada was re-
ported in May, 1912 by Mr.. George II.
Kent, of Suffolk, Franklin county,
Miss. This brood is again reported
by Mr.. Kent as having reappeared
this year. This isolated record is the
only one we have of the thirteen-year
brood OF this year.
