NATIONS READY
 ID TURN PLAGUE AGAINST LOCUST

BOMBAY, Sept 16-Within ten years, it is prophesied here, the locust, said to be the oldest enemy of mankind in the insect world, will be subdued.
 Several countries in Europe, Asia and Africa are preparing joint campaign to eXterminate the insect.
 An Indian government survey shows that the permanent breed- ling grounds of the locusts extends far over the sandy soil along the Arabian Sea, the interior Of Max ran and the Great Indian desert, although the locust population at any particular place is subject to great fluctuation.
 A system of marking locusts and then liberating them has been tried to determine their movements. EX tenive research also has been con- ducted into breeding and habits of the locusts. Effects of weather and food on breeding have been chart ed, and it will be possible soon it is believed, to warn provinces ol countries beforehand as to when 2 locust invasion is likely.
