This particular {n- set, however, takes very little food: while in the adult stage. There are two forms of the pertod- ical cicada, a 17-year form and a 13+ ycar form. The former {is confined: largely to the vorthern states and ‘re- quires 17 vears for maturing. ‘The later is coutined more to the southern states, avd matures in *13 years. The trood that appears this year is the pee HR Kes Periodical Cicados, or “Seventeen-year Locusts.” 13-year brood. This long period of development is especially peculiar, for most insects are very short-lived, ma- turing and dying in one season. This insect does not appear over the entire country, and then after 13 or 17 years reappears. The prolonged time which is required for the insect to mature has made it possible for various forces of nature tc alter the| ; criginal schedule of the insect. We now find the two forms broken up into various broods which are sharply confined to certain regions and which appear and reappear on schedule time in these regions. The brood that will appear in this state this spring is technically known as brood XXIII, and is of the 13-year form. It appeared last in 1898 and was present quite generally in the counties south of the Missouri river, This spring we can determine defi- nitely where this brood is present. It extends south along the Mississippi river, being present throughout south- ern Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ten- hessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The adult female lays her eggs in the smaller limbs and twigs of trees. This is made possible by the use of ‘consumes in any ohne year Is ‘very alight.

If the soil is soft, it makes. a smat. chimney of mud at the siifface and remains in it sonie time before ven- |: turing out. In. hard, dry soil the chim- heys are usually not made. BS After coming out of the ground th Ynsect crawls up a tree or other ob- ject and throws off jis hard outer cas- ing and appears on. the wing. ; For the first few days the insects @re inactive, but after a week they are flying everywhere. They usually. appear on the wing in Missouri from May 15 to May 30, depending on the weather conditions. The periodical cicada is the longest-, lived insect we have accurate data on, but the majority of its life is spent in maturing. It lives ir the Adult state for only about a month, then dis- appears as rapidly as it came. As soon as a female deposits all her eggs she drops to the ground and is eaten by other insects. The male cicadas have a pair of musical organs attached just back of tne hind wings. With these they are able to make a very loud and pene- trating sound. During the heat of the day ‘the male constantly grinds out certai ndefinite notes, These are loud] ani strident, and may easily be recog- nized by one who | heard them be- fore. Often a grove wil! he so full of the tiny musicians that the sound willy be dgafening as one stands in the midst of it. Becanse of the suddenness of the appearance of these famous insects, and the great swarms of noisy adults flying about, men have come to con- sider them more or less a dangerous pest. In reality, they eat so litile that this part of their activity might be overlooked entirely. The damage they do, however, is in laying their eggs. Normally the eggs are depos: ited on the young twigs of forest trees. It is not uncommon, however, to find the females abundant in young or- chards near forest trees, where they will split and damage the young twigs considerab!y with the saw-like ovipuos- itor, This is the only damage they do, and it is really very slight. In older orchards and forest trees the injury is usually outgrown in a-single season or two.

This is kept folded away in a groove on the lower side of the insect unti! she gets :oady to drill holes for depositing eggs. After six or seven weeks the eggs hatch and the young louse-like nymph reaches the ground and enters -it. Here it remains for 13 or 17 years without seeing daylight. It feeds by sucking sap from the rocts of trees and plants. Its growth is so slow, In order to help solve the ever-in- creasing labor problem of the fa farmers should arfange thelr system so that the work will extend through. out the year instead of being all dur- ing the spring and summer.
