Agricultural Interests Alarmed at Their Ravages. There 1st every probability pf the plague of locusts which has now de scended on Egypt proving a very seri ous one. Great anxiety is felt for the young cotton and other crops. Tho locusts first arrive in compara tively small numbers, but they multi ply very rapidly as soon as they reach tho edge of cultivation. Within ton days tho young insects, still wingless, advance in a solid phalanx, sometimes tvo or three feet deep and several ii.ilns In length. It is essential that at this stage they should be destroyed as it w.ould be Impossible to check the ravages of flying locusts. The method adopted during the last visitation, tuat of 1890, was to dig deep trenches, sometimes miles In length, between which and the ad vancing swarm huge heaps of straw were laid and fired. Any locusts which succeeded In escanlne the and smoke fell into ! the trenches, where they were destroyed l.y natives under the supervision of English instructors, it Is a providen tial habit of young locusts never to turn back or aside when once start. cd, no matter what obstacles are put in their way.
