gus Disease.
New ClE, Mimi, June 16.-The ex-
per;ments ior exterminating the chinch
bugs, beius carried on here under the
direction of Prof. Otto Lugger, state ent-
o, ole ist, are being delayed somewhat
by extreme dryness. The methods is to
CT tch and inoculate with a fungus dis
Ease as many bugs as possible and return
these to the fields, where, under favorable
conditions, they will infect all other bugs
and thus exterminate the pest, for the
disease soon proves fatal. Farmers are
instructed to catch and bring to town
bugs in lots of 1000 or more. These are
left with Charles L. Ross, Of the roller
mills, who has charge of the work here.
He issues receipts for them and sees that
they are infected with the spores of the
fungus which produces the disease. After
two. or three days the process of infec-
ton is Completed, when the farmer pre-
sents his receipt and receives his dis
eased bugs, which he places in his fields
to communicate tho disease to the bugs
there. The disease requires for it's growth
and most rapid spread a great deal of
moisture in the air. This condition has
SO far been lacking, and but very few of
the infected bugs have been liberated,
but with little damp weather to facili.
tate matters it is expected that very ef-
fectual wn:K will be accomplished.
