Locusts Hit Fruit Trees in Illinois Orchards
Swarms of locusts entered Southern Illinois orchards in Jackson and Union counties after a bitter winter, threatening future peach and apple production. Growers began spraying to curb the insects, which do not eat current crops but damage branches and future yields. The infestation coincides with stalled GATT talks as Europe and the United States haggle over tariff cuts and automatic adjustment formulas. Locust cycles of 13 and 17 years may recur, with possible alternate years bringing renewed orchard impact.
