Cicada Or Locust
Expected In Many
Ohio Counties

COLUMBUS-After spending II
years in the soil, the periodical ci-
cade is scheduled to appear in 19
Southern Ohio counties this year,
says D. Lyle Coleman, Ohio State
University extension entomologist.
Emergence of the insects is ex-
pected in Butler, Hamilton, War
rem, Montgomery, Clermont, Clin-
ton, Greene, Highland, Brown, Ad-
ans, Fayette, Pickaway, Ross, Sci
OTTO, Pike, Jackson, Lawrence, Gal
liza, and Meigs counties.
Several thousand may emerge
from under a single tree, Coleman
says. The air is literally filled with
the shrill singing of the males (fe-
males do not sing). After mating
the females deposit eggs in twigS
& small branches. A single female
may lay 400-600 eggs. Twigs in
which eggs have been deposited
often break or are killed. Cicadas
do not feed on foliage of any kind
and therefore do not destroy field
crops, according to Coleman. They
prefer oak, hickory, apple, pear,
peach, and grape for egg-laying.
The eggs which have been de-
posted in the twigs hatch in 6-7
days. The ant-like young then drop
to the ground and enter the soil

where they spend the next II
years.
TEPP is the only effective in
secticide for controlling this pest,
Coleman explains. TEPP is ex-
tremely dangerous to handle and
should be used only by experienc-
ed spray operators. Spraying in or
chards should begin about one
week after adult emergence. Or
chards and woodland areas where
the soil has not been disturbed for
the past II years will be most
heavily populated. Small trees can
be protected by covering them
with cheesecloth or similar mater
ial during the egg-laying period
approximately 5 weeks).
Superstitions about the cicada,
such as that its sting will kill a
person, or that the W-shaped
marking on its wings indicate a
war, are untrue, Coleman points
out.

and careful cultivation to control

and careful cultivation to control
weeds, Wittmeyer says.
Sweet potatoes should not be
planted until danger of frost is
past and the soil has begun to
warm up. Ordinarily this will be
around late May in central Ohio,
and about a week or two later in
Northern Ohio.
Sweet potatoes do best in a we'll
drained sandy or silt loan soil.
Heavy soils cause excessive vine
growth and poorly shaped roots,
the specialist explains. He suggests
using a fertilizer analysis like 49,
18 on most silt or sandy loan soils.
If fertility is high, an analysis con-
tanning no nitrogen may be best.
The fertilizer can be applied in
the row when ridges are made at
a rate of 3 or 4 pounds per 100 feet
of row. 1t should be put in a fur
row four or five inches deep and
thoroughly mixed with the soil.
The furrow should be covered so
as to make a ridge four or five in
ches high. This ridge should be
made a week or ten days before
planting. Plants should be set on
the ridge and spaced 1918 inches
apart. The rows should be 30-36
inches apart, depending on the
method of cultivation available.
The gardener has a choice of
several different varieties, Witt
meyer notes. Jersey types, like
Yellow Jersey and Big Stem Jer-
sey, are examples of dry or firm
fleshed varieties. Soft or moist
fleshed varieties are Nancy Hall
and Porto Rico. The soft or firm
refers to the potatoes after cook
ing, Wittmeyer explains.
