other growing things, and this Is what
the Department of Agriculture has to
say about the damage done by the
seventeen-year locust and partial reme-
dies against him:
Some recent experience indicates that
trees thoroughly sprayed with Bor-
deaux mixture or a 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 owl
posit The most reliable means OF
protecting nurseries and young orch

bags or umbrellas from the trees in

lections should be undertaken at the
first appearance of the cicada and re-
peated each day.
