CHESTNUT TREES MAKING
COMEBACK IN PENNSYLVANIA
Hope rose higher than ever for
the return of the chestnut tree to
Pennsylvania hillsides, from which
it had been gradually but effectively
eliminated by a destructive blight.
On the state forest reservations at
Mont Alto, a recent planting of
chestnut is steadily developing and
already several trees have borne
burrs.
At Berwick, a highway engineer,
Boyd Trescott, returned from two
months’ work in the mountains to
report that hundreds of healthly and
well developed chestnut trees are
growing in the hilly sections.
“They are the old-time chestnuts,
most of them branching out from
the roots of the trees killed by the
pligin several years ago,” Trescott
“Along the head waters of the
Nescopeck Creek and Creek
and in other sections I came upon
a number of chestnut trees three
and four inches in diameter and
completely clean, a blight resisting
growth apparently, and with all of
them bearing.”
STATE FACING LOCUST ARMY.
Armies of 17-year locusts are
mobilizing underground for a “big
push” this summer against
fruit trees and other tender shoots,
the State Agriculture Department
warned today.
Periodical Cicada, as someone has
nicknamed the locusts, will appear
in Washington, Westmoreland,
Green, Fayette, Schuylkill, Carbon
and Berks counties, according to the
department.
The grownup Periodical Cicadas
(What? Again!), are interesting Iit-
tle rascals.
In childhood, the Periodical Cica-
army are now. They live under-
ground, sucking sap from roots of
trees.
their oats, they move to the ground
surfaces where
sort of chimney near the trees. In
one night, as graduates from high
school, they emerge and crawl
the trees.
Their outer coverings slip off and
they become full fledged adults,
ready to flit hither and yon as soon
as their wings dry.
These adults are from one to one
and a half inches long, wedge-shap-
ed and nearly black—smaller and
darker than regular cicadas which
tap out some hot tunes in summer.
Birth control is just a wisecrack
as far as they're concerned. With
a capacity of 600 eggs in 40 days,
females lay eggs in roots and smal-
ler limbs of young trees, making
wrecks of the trees.
The Agriculture Department an-
nounced young plantings of fruit
trees may be protected by covering
with a mosquieto netting to keep
out Periodical Cicadas.

President Hoover's Suggestion,
hat payments of indemnities by Germany
be postponed for one year, is the first
real constructive measure for the relief of the
world-wide business depression.
The critical political, as well as financial con-
ditions in Germany, the fear that a revolution,
whose consequences no one could foresee, would
follow insistence on continued payments under
the Young plan, were menaces to the peace of
the world that the moratorium will remove.
We now may look forward with confidence to
a gradual return to normal conditions.
