FEAR UNfOUNDED
LOCUST DOES NOT MAKE IT'S
HOME IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Brookings, May 2,--There's nc
need worrying over a rumor that the
seventeen-year locust may appear In
South Dakota in destructive mum
bers, says Prof. H. c. SEVERN, state
entomologist at State college. These
locusts do not make their home In
this state at all. The se~venteen-yeaI
locust is not a grasshopper, but
rather a cicada. an insect which diff.
fers from a hopper not only in body
shape and method of feeding but also
in its life cycle. Most of our grass
hoppers lay their eggs in the fall and
then die. In the following spring
their eggs hatch into baby grasshop-
pers which feed and grow until mid
summer, when they become fully
grown and usually winged.
In describing the seventeen-year
locust, Prof. SEVERN says further;
1.-THE seventeen-year cicadas, on the
other hand. make their appearance
as full winged insects in countless
number early In the year. usually at
the end OF May. Practically the only
damage they do is in & laying,
when the females out Sits In the
small twies of shade and fruit rees.
Tbis injury oftentimes kills the small
twigs and may be a serious matter
with young trees, but with large trees
Tho in i nry results only in a rather
severe pruning. What little food the
winged cicada takes is in the form

Of this time they give rise to smaii

take their position upon some root.
Here the insects remain for almost
seventeen years. They obtain their
nourishment by sucking out the sap
from the roots. but since this Is done

much harm Is done to the trees yer
though the insects are present In
countless numbers. At the END OF
seventeen years the immature cicades

change to cicada. The insect Is now

states. but as far as South Dakota
and the neighboring states are con
cerned, we have nothing to fear In
this respect.
Another form OF this same species
az cicada Is the ~thirteen-year variety.
This form differs from the seventeen
year type in that it requires but thir-
teen years to complete its life cycle,
and that il occurs chiefly in the
southern states rather than IN the

consult an architect about home de-
