Seventeen Year Locusts Invade the East
Washington reports from the Department of Agriculture show seventeen year locusts appearing across states east of the Mississippi. Entomologists deem this the potential largest locust year since 1868 but not alarming, as mainly young fat trees face threat. Attention shifts to the army worm in Texas and moving north, seen as a real danger to wheat. Farmers are urged to watch for swarms and control with poison-gas or Paris green spraying.
