sEvENTEEN-YEAR LocUsTs
Are Scheduled for Hartford County
 This Year

This is another "seventeen-year- locust year," but in a small sectioh of the country-mainly the valley of the Connecticut River in Massachu- setts and Connecticut, with separ- ated colony near Fall River, Mass The periodical cicadas due to appear this year are officially catalogued as Brood XI. The brood was recorded as early as 1767, and it's genuineness was fully established in 1869. Like most small broods in settled regions, it is being greatly reduced in num- bers, and it was difficult to find rec ords of the brood in 1903, its last appearance. Entomologists will be mainly interested in the brood this year because it's probably further thinned ranks will indicate the effect of building and road construction and other development in its territory since the brood "dug in" IT years ago. Every time concrete cellar is built over the resting place of period ical cicadas, the insects naturally fail to appear when the period of their long Information comes to an end.
 Farmers, fruit growers, and others are assured by the Bureau of En- tomology, United States Department of Agriculture, that they have little to fear from this "most interesting insect in the world" Late in May or June the shrill drums of the cicadas will resound in many wooded area, but their trilling is worse than their bite. Control measures vary with conditions and will be~told to inquir-. CTS who address the Federal Bureau of Entomology.
 The distribution of Brood XI by States and counties is as follows:

POWER COMPANY SELLS FALLS VILLAGE PLANT Local Power Plants Taken Over by Hartford
 Company

Negotiations have been completed whereby the, Hartford Electric Light Company takes over the Connecti- cut Power Company, which operates the new hydro-electric power plant on the Housatonic river at Falls Will lage under a liberal charter with state wide powers. This transaction is one of the largest that has taken place in Connecticut for many months, and will interest large number of New Haven holders of. the power company, and also the many holders in the Hartford Electric Light Company's stock throughout the country. The csot of the taking over will amount to one million dol lars and the acquisition will place the aHrtford concern in position where it will be able to expand tre- mendously: -
 The deal was put through by Stone & Webster and New Haven men who own the power proposition. It was stated the transaction was reciprocal one. The power company is a big seller of water powered electricity over much of the state during much of the year except in time of drought, and the Hartford company sells steam powered electricity to the Connecticut Company, at the dry time. By the new arrangement, the Hartford concern will control the power of both concerns and will wholesale power to other companies.
 With the completion of this deal, the Hartford company will be sup plying New London, Middletown. Torrington and many other Connec- ticut cities, an through the newly opened demand the water power plant will be able to conserve coal and reduce rates.
 Bankers stated that the deal will be financed by the Hartford con cern's issuing 7,500 shares of stock of $100 par value and will exchange these shares for the common stock of the Connecticut Power company, which amounts to s1,000, ,000.
 Just what the above may mean to the Power Company interests in Ca- naan and Falls Village, the News is unable to learn because of the ab- sence of Manager H. E. Lyles in Washington, but it is hoped that the offices may be retained here as at present located.
