The two broods due this year are brood H.
which belongs to the 17-year family and Droou 10
which belongs to the 13-year family.
Brood 10 has the widest distribution of any
brood. Beginning at the eastern extremity OF
Long Island, ii sweeps west and south TO the Mis-
sissippi river at Cairo ILL., and extends as far
north as central Wisconsin and as far south as
middle Georgia with some isolated colonies far
northeast as upper Vermont, and one as far west
as the boundary line between Iowa and Nebraska.
The whole or portions of 20 states are included
within this range. There three regions Of
greater occurrence covering New Jersey
Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania another COW
ering all Of Indiana. the greater part Of Ohio and
southern Michigan, and third covering western
North Carolina eastern Tennessee and northern
Georgia.
Brood 1S the 13-year brood that comes out this
year Is comparatively a small brood and is made
up OF scattered colonies rather than of the dense
and compact swarms that mark the larger br0ods
Five states are affected by it-Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina. South Carolina. and Tennessee
but it touches only limited areas of these states.
cicadas viii Appear in May.
Latitude does not appear to materially affect the
time of emergence from the ground. the cicada in
the lake states coming out within week or two of
the same time as in the Gulf and South Atlantic
states This data ranges from the last week In
May 10 the first in June, and the shrleking hosts
may be looked for throughout the whole territory
indicated mt about that time. Late in May or
early in June the under sides of leaves prac-
ticaly all trees In dense brood areas viii be
studded with the cast skins and every wooded
place will be resounding with the shrill drums.
A month later the disposition Of eggs in
branches viii have become general.
Fear aroused by the presence of this insect in
great numbers Is out of proportion to the real
damage likely to be done. People in infested sec
lions should not become unduly alarmed. but
should apply such metsg 3of control as are pos
sible In young orchas 4Snd nurseries the safest
method is the hand COLLECTION of the insects at the

tree Immediately after coming out of the ground

When the "7-Year-Locusts" Come.

The year 1919 is likely to he one Oh the
worst "locust years" on record. But ehlo-
mologists of the United States department OF
agriculture see nothing alarming in the pros
pect.
The periodical cicada, the real name OF the
insect commonly called locust" will appear

District of Columbia, Delaware. Georgia
Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, pennsylvania
South Carolina, Tennessee, vermont. VIZ
ginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The injury done by the periodical clcada
consists almost wholly In chiseling grooves
in the branches of trees for depositing eggs.
This injury always appears to be greater
than it actually is Popular alarm Is usually
ont OF proportion to general damage.
Young fruit trees are sometimes killed
nv the cicada The precautionary measures
are: Defer putting out young fruit trees TIL
next year; postpone budding operations; 10
no pruning this winter or spring.
When the insects begin coming out, hand
nick them from young fruit trees or spray
them with pyrethrum powder, Kerosene
oroulsions or a solution of carbOlic acid or
acetic acid.
Later, when the insects are ready to be-
gin laying, spray young fruit trees with
whitewash.
