Railroads Prepare
for the Locusts
llll SJSI B ' '
Predictions that They Will Be Here
in Force it Being Taken
Seriously.
...
Nebraska railroads will experiment with
Ihe seventeen year old locust problem
this coining . year. This Is the year, that
scientists predict the locusts eggs will
hatch and that the middle western states
will again see Ihe plague of the Insects
In their midst eating up the cropa.
All manner of suggestions are offered for
dealing with the pests and aonie of those
may be tried out by the Burlington rail
road. All the railroads of the country are
naturally Interested In the subject because
If tha crops of the land are damaged the
railroads will have hard picking with no
grain to move.
D. Clem Deaver, head of the land seek
ers' Information bureau of the Kurllngton,
la now. corresponding with a. man who
asserts that he has a liquid which will
effectually kill off the locust. The Mould
may be used as spray to protect the
young 'trees, 'which the insect attack and
very often kill. The boring into the bark
and the- laying of the tocuat eggs In the
trees poisons the sap of the young fruit
trees and the next fall they very often
die.
"The locust acare may well develop into
a real one," suld Mr. leaver Monday, "It
Is quite possible that In spite of the amount
of cultivation In Nebraska the Insects will
be here in force or migrate to this state.
One of the reasons the locust did not do
much damage In 1S31 waa because in that
year there were no crops to destroy, the
dry weather having killed them all."
"Later on as the spring approaches there
will probably be some scientist who will
show us a way to either kill the eggs or
prevent the ones laid this ear from hatch
ing." - -
