Great swarms of 17-year locusts.

air for a month or so. infesting field,
orchard and forest, and then will die.
Prof. Raymond c. Osburn of the de-
partment of entomology at Ohio State
university and government scientists
predict that the periodical visit of the
locust swarm will be made some time
in May.
"It depends a great deal on the tenn
perature,'' Professor Osburn said. IF
it gets really warm the locusts will ap-
pear sooner"
The cicada septendecim is a won
derful creature. For seventeen long
years it sleeps in dark holes in the
earth-then comes to life. Its visits
are tabulated with accuracy by ento-
mologists and farmers and horticul-
turists have been warned of the on
slaught.
There should be no occasion for un-
usual alarm, however. at the appear
ance of the locust swarms, Professor
Osburn declared. Little damage will
result if proper precautions are taken.
The chief injury the insect is capa-
BILE of is killing young fruit trees. The
locust chisels grooves in the branches
of trees to disposit eggs Young trees,
the Ohio State scientist warned,
should be protected with screens and
netting and the visit of the cicada
will pass by almost unnoticed.
The government map shows that
the cicada will appear this year in
the greatest numbers in the following
states:
Ohio. New Jersey, Delaware. Mary
land, District of Columbia, Indiana,
Pennsylvania. Georgia, New York,
Illinois. Michigan. Virginia, West vir-
ginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and
Vermont
