HOW AND WHY ONE SHOULD

"AIl fortunes have their fcnndatioR

These words are indeed true Cor

BIG "l7-Year Locust
BroodssDue This Year
&C. B. W.

According to information approved by
the Bureau of Entomology, and given out
for general circulation by the United States
Department of Agriculture at Washington,
the periodical cicada, commonly known as
the locust" will be seen during this Spring
and early Summer over large regions of
the United States in very great numbers
Through careful observation, the fact has
been established that one brood of locusts
have a 17-year period, and another a -
as the "17-year locust" or the "13-year To-
Gust" according to the locality.
The fact that the locust appears in count
less multitudes one year, and then is not
seen again for many years, makes it the
most interesting insect' in the world, and
for that reason its advent has mystihed the
popular mind However, when it is known
that the insect spends the Is or II years be-
tween appearances in slow development be
reath the ground, and energies at almost
exactly the same spot when the time for
its maturity arrives, the mystery disappears,
but the interest, if anything, is intensified.
One of the Strangest things in nature is
that, in spite of such extremely slow growth,
all the millions over vast areas of the cOun-
try. north, south, east and west, burst from
the ground at almost the same moment.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture has long kept close check on all
broods of both races, and is able to say with
accuracy just when and in what territory any
brood will appear The belief that the 1910
brood will be exceptionally large is based on
the fact that the 17-vear brood coming out
this year is brood 10, perhaps the largest
of the 17-year broods, and that brood Is,
