The Little River news., 1920-05-01

cap the Constantine we'll which came in as a gasser, was received today and will be placed as soon as possi- ble. The drilling machinery was re- moved from around the hole this morning, although gas, water, oil and mud continued to shoot high into the air.
 The gas pressure today was practi cally the same as yesterday, according to oil men. Quantities of oil still are coming out, but less optimism is prev 'alent among those working at the we'll. Should the we'll continue to belch forth gas instead of oil, the gas will be commercialized, it was said.
 Representatives of Mir. Constantine of Tulsa, Okla, the owner, says that another we'll probably will be started near the gasser within few days Practically every oil expert who has will be found in the immediate civin- ity.
 Reports received at Fl Dorado today from the Walker well, 10 miles north west of here, indicate that oil sand has been struck at 1900 fett. The drillers say that they expect to bring in the we'll soon.
 Little traffic in leases was reported here today. Several tracts, about one and a half miles from the Constantine we'll, sold for $58 an acre, or $1O an acre more than was paid last week.

1T YEAR LOCUST WILL
 COME AGAIN THIS YEAR
EntOmOlogist of College of Agriculture University of Arkansas wants
 Reports of the Pests.

A brood of periodical cicades, com monly known as the 17-year locusts. will appear fin Arkansas this year, some time in May and will be most numerous in the northern part of the state, is the statement of w. J. Bragg, entomologist of the College of Agri- culture and Arkansas experiment stat ion, University of Arkansas.
 The title of "17year locust" cannot be properly applied to this insect for it appears every 13 years in Arkansas and, furthermore, it is not a locust, a term commonly applied to grasshop- pers, but sucking insect, more close ly related to the squash bug and simi- lar insects. They are about one and one-fourth inches long, the body is black, bounded with red and the wings are red along the veins and at the margin.
 The adults feed on the sap of trees but although they have occurred in enormous numbers, there is no record that by their feeding they have ever caused any serious damage Mr. Baerg says. They will be most abundant in white oak groves ,on high land and rich soil in the nature of sandy loam.
 Considerable damage may be caus- ed by the "lCcusts." however, which after four or five weeks the females begin to deposit their eggs in slits cut in twigs of various trees and shrubs. In this way, considerable damage is often done to young or chards or trees in the nursery row.
 Information on the occurrence of the clcada in Arkansas is complete and very much out of date and MT. Baerg is anxious to receive reports on the appearance of the insects from as many people as possible in the state. He would like to know how numerous they are in each section, on what date whether or not the birds feed on them extensively and whether or not they cause serious damage to young trees or crops.
 The most conspicious feature of their appearance will be their shrill song lasting from early morning until twilight for four or five weeks.

THE RECORD INDICATES THAT

The Limits of Immediate Movement Is
Expected to Be Confined Within

Raleigh.

f. Sherman, entomologist, state de-
partment of agriculture at Raleigh an
nounces that a specimen of genuine
boil weevil found in vicinity OF Lum-
berton, has been sent to him by Coun-
ty Farm Agent o. o. Dukes OF Robe
son county. Only the extreme south
ern trip of Robson was invaded by
the weevil in 1919, and this record in
dicates that the usual fall migration
of the weevils to the northward has
now begun, as was anticipated by re-
cent announcements.
Between now and winter normal
migratio will take the weevil to line
running approximately from Charlotte
to Fayetteville to New Bern, including
part, or all. of the countiese Of Neck
lenbrug, Union, Arson, Richmond.
Scotland, Hoke, Robson, Cumberland,
Baden, Sampson, Fender, Duplin Ons'
low, Jones, Carteret and Craven. It
may go beyond these limits or 1t may
fall short.
1t is intended to determine the
limits of its new spread when the
migration is over. Meantime citizens
can save expense to the state by send
ing suspected specimens to Mr.. Sher-
man at address above indicated, as
each genuine record will save time
and expense in the inspections. Mail
specimens in tight package, indicat-
ing post office locality where found.
Name and address Of sender should
be on package.
