 \ Long Lived Insect
 The periodical cicada may be said to be the longest lived of all insects. It spends approximate seventeen years, CT thirteen years for some varie- ties, in a subterranean life in the larvaI of nymphal stage. Then millions of individuals attain maturity almost at the same moment and emerge for a noisy and strenuous existence above ground, terminating in exhaustion and death after about five weeks. The egg from which this insect matches is de posted in a slit in the young twigs of forest or fruit trees. Almost any tree CT shrub or even herbaceous plant may be selected for this purpose, but a decided preference seems to be shown for oak, chestnut and hickory among the forest trees, and peach and apple among the orchard trees.
 The egg of the cicada matches in from six to seven weeks. The young active larvae work their way out of the egg shells and fall to the ground, where they establish themselves in earthen cells, adjacent to plant roots,

N r YOU would take q unique jour
 ncy over a strange old trail which
 is just becoming known to the 2 public, go for a ride over the Apache Trail of Arizona, that historic path which winds through q land rich in historic associations, and q country of remarkable natural grandeur.
 There is no trail which was of greater interest to the hopes and fears of the American Indians than the Apache Trail. which today is reached either from Globe or Phoenix in Aci- zona. This ancient highway has been transformed into a broad automobile road and over its smooth path-onCe the war path of the Indian-the mod crn automobile runs. Centuries ago bands of murderous raiders beat out this mountain highway. Today, the tourist rides one hundred and twenty miles in absolute security over q high way that is wide and safe, and which in places is hewn out of solid rock.
 Early Days
 Did you ever read the story of the early days of that part of our country which today we call Arizona and New Mexico? If so. you know that this Apache Trail is where the cliff dwell CTS came lonE before the dawn of his tory. Some of these strange, ruined, fcr.ress-like houses which were un- doubtedly the home Of q forgotten race are not far from the Apache Trail. Over this country passed the Toltecs on their way to found an em- r!ro in She great country to the south which today We call Mexico.

 EYEIiEN you hear the hum as of 4 H many airplanes this spring hA A you will not need to run for ~~ the cellar as they did in France and England. It will be the periodical cicada, commonly miscalled the sevent een-year locust.
 This is going to be one of the big locust years. The experts predict thai it will approach the year 1868, which was the greatest locust year on record. There will be swarms in many parts Of the country of both the 13 and IT. year variety just as there were right after the Civil War, and these two coming together will cause conditions approaching those of the previous rec ord year.
 The locust plague this year which will come in the latter part of May or early in June will cover most of the Eastern United States and the shriek- ing hosts will appear at about the same time throughout the entire ter ritory.
 Loss InConsidcrablc
 But in spite of their noise, their widely heralded approach, the super stitions and prophecies of i'll which surround their coming and the fear of awful ravagcs, the toll of material loss which will result will be comparatively slight. True he makes a big noise and lot of buster. He fills the early sum mer air with screeChings innumerable, but he eats practically nothing and even if he had come during the war in the period of greatest food shortage, there would have been little to dread on his score. MT. Hoover would not have found it necessary to get out an injunction against him or set Boy Scouts to work cleaning them up as fast as they appeared above ground, for the Gauzy-winged insects would havo made no perceptible dent in the nations food supply. They suck a lit tie juice from the leaves or branches of the trees on which they alight to deposit their eggs, but this amounts to little. The principal damage which they do is by the incision they make in the branches of the trees for deposit ing eggs; and this always appears to be greater than it actually is.
 Only slight injury is done to large
