Africa 0. S. Heizer (Consul) (May 12) { (Excerpt fjjom Review of 
Commerce and Industries for the quarter ended March 31, 1930): 
Large numbers of locusts are moving northwards and it is feared 
that the spring crops will be destroyed. Already the cereals 
have been attacked. These insects have arrived in the north in 
their red state this year, and up to the present have done 
comparatively little damage. The red locust does not eat, its 
digestive tube being compressed by reserve matter accumulated 
before taking flight. It is so organized that it can accomplish 
long air trips without nourishment. It seldom reaches the 
littoral except in a clement year like the present ore, because 
it changes to a yellow color while crossing the Atlas Mountains, 
and comes down to the littoral in this state about March. 
yellow locust is veracious. It lays its eggs in fertilized ground 
or in dried river beds. The eggs take fifteen to twenty days to 
hatch and then the ban^ rcoves forward, destroying all vegetable 
life. Already, fields have been attacked in southern Oran and 
donstantine, while at Biskra nearly 2,500 acres are reported 
to bo contaminated,
