/ stage, but its diet is confined to the
quantities and without causing appreci-
able injury to plants.
So far as periodicity Of outbreaks is
concerned, the real locust or grasshopper
is law unto itself. The hordes may
appear any year or not at all. The hor-
des of the "17-year locust" or peridocal
cicada appear with a regularity that
would almost put to shame government
clock In spite Of their extremely slow
development under ground, the multiplied
millions of individuals reach maturity
and emerge almost al the same mement
and exactly II years from the date Of
the previous appearance-that is, if they
are of the 17-year race. There is a 13-
year race Of the periodical cicada. But
it is just as regular, just as exactly on
schedule, as the other one.
Real Locust A Nomad.
The real locust is a sort Of nomadic
militant. Its hordes, like those Of Atil-
la the Hun or Of Genghis Khan, sweep
hither and yon, always on the move,
destroying as they go. The so-called
17-year locust or cicada Is a home body.
Stevenson's lovable character "Wm O.
the Mill" did not stick so closely to his
birthplace as does the periodical cicada.
Literally, he abides always under his
own vine and fig tree" The tree from
which any individual cicada dropped as
a newly matched larva II years ago is
the exact tree under which he will en-
erge this spring, up which he will most
likely crawl to cast his pupal skin, and
in which he will meet his mate and sing
his love song, in which he will pass his
days Of decrepitude, and from which,
in a few weeks, his dead body will fall,
almost upon the spot where he-as a lar
va-fen II years before and burrowed
into the ground. Where the periodical
cicada came into existence, there he
spends his days and dies.
Every crop suffers from the ravages
of the real locust. Only trees suffer at
all from the 17-year locust and only very
young fruit and Ornamental trees are
likely to be severely injured. Methods
of preventing or minimizing this loss
have been worked out and published by |
the Department of Agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish comp |
aratively little damage, but fear Of the
insect may accomplish a great deal par
ticularly if it is based upon a confusion
of the cicada-locust with the grasshopper
locust. Men, believing that the grasshop-
pers are to eat up their crops this spring,
might refrain from planting certain things
1t is important, therefore, that the con-
fusion be cleared up, that it be definitely
understood by ever sbody that the IT.

cicada and not grasshoppers.
Milford chronicle., 1919-04-18

This Is a locust year." and the usual
popular fear and misapprehension attend
People in that large part Of the United
States over which the periodical cicada
viii appear are disposed, as always to
apprehend greater damage than will
Occur-many times greater. OF the re-
uaainder Of the United States. large sec
tons are under another misapprehension,
which is that the insect about to appear
e the real locust that sometimes comes
IN devastating hordes, sweeping across
large sections Of country and devouriRg

apprehension is, perhaps, the more wide
entomologists Of the United States Dep
aFtment of Agriculture. People who
have had experience with the real locust
and the ruin It works never forget, and
the word locust" even through it be
uisnomer, is likely to be a signal for
dread
Now, the periodical cicada, commonly
called the 17-year locust-the insect that
viii appear in p States this spring-is
not a locust at all. 1t is a cicada, MEM
Der Of the family Cicadidae and akin to
the dog-day cicada, or dry-weather fly.
The real locust-the devastating kind
is a grasshopper.
The periodical cicada, miscalled locust
Is strictly an American insect. The real
locust, commonly called grasshopper, oc-
ours in many parts of the world and has
had its place in history for thousands
Of years. There are many species.
The Schistocerca Peregrina is the one
that plagued the Egyptians and prob
ably the one on which John the Baptist
fed. The one that has sometimes ravag-
ed the great plains and other sections
Of the United States is the Melanoplus
spretus, a related species.
Have Little In Common.
The real locust\ or grasshopper and
the so-called locust or periodical cicada
have very little in common-nothing
in fact, except that both occur in large
numbers and both occasionally have been
used as human food, the former mostly
by certain peoples Of the near East and
the latter by the Indians.
The real locust is an indiscriminate
eater, grain fields cornfields, meadows,
pastures, weed patches-everythin falls
before him. The periodical cicada or
so-called locust is dainty almost be-

One batch of hides brought in $3.50
while several distinct catches from
several other trappers aggregated
$4,000 this sum being added from
small sums paid out.
One trapper, being quizzed by a

Must Purchase Sugar Every
IS Days Instead of Weekly

Approximately 100000 pounds of
sugar will be saved per year by a
new ruling of the food administration
which will prevent anyone from OBJ
tanning more than two pounds of SUI
gar per month. Many people were I'M
consciously breaking the regulations
regarding the distribution of sugar
by purchasing their sugar on the basis
Of one-half pound per capita per week.
On this basis Of four weeks to the
month there would be only 48 weeks
to the year, Or 1886 days. This would
leave % days. or practically another
month, during which sugar would be
consumed on a basis of two pounds
per capita. With population of 10O.-
100000 people this would require
about an additional 2OO,OOO,0OO pounds
of sugar. The new regulation requires
the consumer to purchase his allot-
ment of sugar every fifteen days, or
semi-monthly, rather than every week.
