|l7-Yeor 'Locusts' Seem
TO Be Missing in Area

Brood Is of the 17-year locusts
seems to be missing hereabouts.
The periodical insects, not
locusts at all. but cicadas, have
not been reported in this vicinity,
although now is the time for
them to appear.
Unlike the mass visitation OF
Brood 10 in 1858, No. IS is a
scant brood in this section. 1t is
most populous in Illinois and
Wisconsin.
There are 20'broodS in all, each
of which appears only once in
~ years. After about six weeks,
the adults are just about gone.
They are mama for birds. Soon
the babies retreat into the soil to
start the 17-year cycle that ends
In their temperance as adults.
Long Cycle Studied
The long cycle Of these period
ical cicades fascinates entomo-
logists. In the Deep South. the
17-year "locusts" work on a 13-
year basis. That may be because
of climate conditions.
The periodical cicadas were
|misnamed after the great swarms
that sweep over the Middle East,
Iravaging the land. Those 10
Gusts" are not locusts, either, but
Igrasshoppers.
The insects lay their eggs in
Sits in twigs. The cuts the
cicadaS make in the trees cause
some twigS to drop of. The
Agriculture Department says the
damage is neglible.
