Seventeen-Year Locust Predicted to Return in 1935
The Gra ham area anticipates a new invasion of the seventeen year locusts early in the 1935 summer season. Observers note the insect’s voice waning as the current cycle ends, with the next hatch expected within weeks, shaping a future city of about 150000 amid regional bounds. The report links the pest’s return to a wider historical cycle and notes the region's optimistic forecast.
