Th(‘ |)('rio(lical cicada is so w ('ll know n that a gi'iu'ral 
account of it in this place' is unncce'ssaiy. When it ap- 
pe'ars in gi'i'at nnnda'rs it naturally cause's eonsielcrablc 
alarm and aronse's tears lor the safety e)f shaele' trees ami 
ejivhards. The' aednal elamagc, howeve'r, is usually 
slight, except in the case e)f new ly plantcel orcharels, anei 
e'Ycn lu'ic, by vigorous pi'uuing bae‘k afte'r the cicaela has 
elisappcare'el, much e)f tlic injury e'auscel by tbc e'gg punc¬ 
tures can be obviated. 
Orelinary re'pe'llanl substane*e's, such as ke're)senc 
cmulsie)n e)r e*arl)olic-ae*iel solutions, se'e'in to leaver very 
little cHe'cl in pre'vcnling the eeviposilion of these inse'cts. 
Some rece'id e'\j)erience, he)we've'r, ineiicate's that trees 
the)roughly sprayed with llorele'aux mixture or a lime 
w ash are apt to be avoieleel by the cicada, especially if 
there are other trees e)r w()e)els in the neighborhood on 
w hich the'v can ovii)osit. The most re'liable means e)l 
])i‘e)tecting nurse'rie's ami ye)ung e)rchards is by collecting 
the insects in bags or umbrellas from the trees in early 
morning or late ('veidng. w lu'ii they ai(' sonu'w hat tori)id. 
Such collections should be undertakc'u at llu' tii'st appc'ar- 
ance of tin,' (*icada and rejx'ated ('ach day.
