Locust Soon To Appear

According to reportsy the periodical
cicada, or 13-year locust. will appear
in Arkansas during the latter part of
May. These locusts were here i'm 1911
and their offspring will be due to ap-
pear this year.
The life history of the cicada is
somewhat as follows: The adults ap-
pear in about the middle or latter
part of May. and proceed to feed on
the sap of various trees and shrubs.
The males produce the well known
cicada song. 1t seems that they have
a good reason for singing, as some one
has aptly expressed 1t, "for they have
voiceless wives" In some localities
the cicadas appear in such large num-
bers that their song literally fills the
air in large flocks, and the brood of
cicadas is reduced correspondingly.
The cicada apparently is rare deli
cacy on the birds list of diet. for even
the English sparrow, which seldom
feeds on insects, Is attracted.
The life of the adult cicada is rather
brief, four or six weeks. The female
deposits from 400 to 900 eggs, which
are inserted into the bark of trees and
shrubs. In their egg laying, the cic-
adas some times cause appreciable in
jury to young fruit trees The pune
lures that the female makes for the
deposition of her eggs are rather large
and jagged and, since they are made
in young twigs, usually cause them to
die. Since the cicadas appear so sell
dom, the injury that they can cause is
relatively insignificant, and control or
remedial measures need not be employ
ed.
The eggs of the cicada hatch in six
to seven weeks; theDyoung larvae drop
to the ground and enter the soil. Here
they feed ON the roots of plants for
nearly 13 years, when they appear in
about the middle of May as adult
cicadas.
