CINCHING CHINCH BUGS.
An EntOm0Iogist's Method of
Making Them Very Sick.

Professor f. H. Snow, State EntomoIogist.
has been Experimenting for two years to
perfect his plan for the spreading Of con-
tagious disease among chiDch bugs, with q
view to eXelminatng this worst of all the
pests with which Western farmers have to
contend.
He has just sent out fifty packages of in
oculated bugs instructing the receivers to
place the dead bugs in jar for f0rty-eighth
hours with from ten to twenty times as
many live bugs from the field. In this way
the disease Is to be communicated to the
live bugs in the jar. These sick bugs being
deposited in different portions OF the field OF
experiment are expected to communicate
the disease while moving about among the
healthy bugs.
Actual experiment has shown the efficacy
Of the scheme. The disease was success
fully introduced from Professor Shows
laboratory into the States of Missouri, Ne
braska, Indiana, OHIO and Minnesota, and
into various counties of the State of Kansas,
and the chinch bugs In these localities were
eXterminated. Farmers there declare that
their fields were saved from devastation.
Professor Snow has found that there are
three different causes to which may be as
crlbed the rapid dying of chinch bugs The
first, and perhaps the principal cause ia his
experiments, is the attack of a certain bae-
terial germ. Myriads of these minute ami
mated atoms may be seen with microscope
In the body Of the diseased bug. The second
cause is the growth of a white fungus, the
spores of which are carried by the wind, and
are thus easily scattered over the entire field.
The third cause is the presence of still an
other fungus. which differs from the white
fungus in color. The fungi have scientific
names and have been described and studied
by scientific men.
The main fact If interest about them, now
ever, to the Kansas farmer is that under the
skillful hand of a practical scientist they can
be turned against the chinch bug. While the
chinch bug attacks the wheat and corn these
moulds and bacteria attack the chinch bug,
and II Professor Snow, with the assistance
OF the farmers of this State, is as successful
IN the future as he has already been, the
chinch bug seems doomed to determination

nations of certain conferred honors-
were III the past few days addressed to
DR.. /. n. Love, chairman of the commit
tee on arrangements, by various phySl-
clans who were invited to attend the
convention. Fully fifty of the most
prominent have stated that they will
not only not participate In the proceed
ingS of the convention, but they will
not contribute cent to defray the eX-
penseS of the meeting.
This state of affairs was brought

aroused the enmity of the medical pro-
fession because of Its opposition to the

withdrawal is that they have not been

On the other hand, the chairman of
the committee on arrangements and

Advantages Of the Plan and
It's Mepit--Adoption Not
Certain.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Chairman Walker.
in behalf OF the commissioners of the
Western Traffic association, issued a
circular to-day that may result in Solv-
ing the problem of JOINT rate divisions
by way of the Indiana. Illinois q Iowa
road The desire of the commissioners
is that the lines in that association
shall put into effect the divisions pro-
posed without regard to the action of
the Eastern roads and the circular ex-
plains at some length the method by
which this may be done.
1t provides that all traffic shall be
handled on through rate from the
Mississippi river 10 the seaboard, the
Western lines to receive 20 per cent of
the rate, and the Eastern lines 80 per
cent when divided at KanAakce, which
Is the point at which the Missouri river
traffic has always been divided. The
20 per cent belonging to the Western
lines IS to be subdivided so as
TO give the Three rs six
twenlieths for its service between
Streator and Kankakee, the Western
lines retaining the other fourteen TWEEN
tieths. The result of these figures is to
| give the three Us almost precisely the
same earnings it has heretofore real
| lied on thore received from the At
Gibson, and which the commissioners
| assume TO be satisfactory to the line i'll
| question. The change is in the manner
of competition, and.dees away with OBJ
| iectionable divisions on the Missouri
river basis, while preserving all the
proportions heretofore established by
the joint rate committee at all junction
| points.
Whether all the interested roads will
adopt the proposed change is still
question. The Atchison people pro-
nouEce it satisfactory and sensible ar
rangement, and are willing to put it
into effect at once, but the Burlington
management has nothing to say in
praise of the plan and is not yet ready
to commit itself. The real merit of the
proposition, as viewed from the stand
point of the Western railway man, is
that it maintains the established proper
tions at all junction points and leaves
| the Eastern roads no chance to gain an
undue advantage through the change in
| the divisions.
