Those Seventeen Year Locust
EpIroR MIDLAND IoUkNAl:

EDITOR MIDLAND JOURNAL:
In reading over the many items of in
terest In your valuable paper, noticed
one hailing from some mogulistic author
ity In regard to when we may expect our
next Locust visitation. 1t says to us that
the College Park Experimental Agricul-
tural Station reports this Is the year for
the arrival of the seventeen year locusts.
That the Colonial reports by the Colo
nists say these locusts visited them in
the year 1884. therefor lthis is the 18th
visit of this plague in the last 2So years.
Now, you will please be kind enough
to inform the College Park Experimental
Station, and those old Colonists too, that
they surely have one more dreamy guess
coming to them. As far as knowledge
and experience teaches me, there viii
be no locusts here this year.
We might just as well notify those old
Colonists too that they had no locusts in
the year 1884. was very young at that
time, but l do know that the locusts
were here in 1880, I647, 1904, 1851. 1905,
IT'S, 1882, I74o, I765, 1883. 1900, 1877,
1884. 1851. 1858, 1856, 1902, 1919. And
many Of our people of today will see the
pestiferous bird in 1886. if Germany does
not come over and destroy their hiding
place.
You all know that we. have plenty OF
Low-Cusses all the time, and they are
getting more numerous every year, but
the old Pharoah Locusts are like every
thing else of ye olden times; the herd
and flock are all getting smaller every
time they come. In 1854 they were so
plenty they destroyed great many fruit
trees and fruit too, but in their fourth visit
theaeafter, 1919, there were very few, as
many Of you no doubt remember.
Yours truly,
