KILLING OFF oHINOH BUGS.
Department of Agriculture Promot
fng an Epid eEaIc Among tlae Pests.

Department OF A@facuitNre FfOMOts
ing an Epidemic Among She Pests.
WASHINGTON, April IS, 1s95.-Prof
Otto Lugger of the University of Mime
sofa is in Washington consulting with
the authorities at the Agricultural De-
partment with regard to an extensive
line of work he has just begun in Mime
sofa in accordance with the provisions
of an appropriation made by the Legis-
lature of that State. This work is the
investigation of the disease of the
chinch bug.
Western grain growers have been
greatly interested during the past two
or three years in the results attending
the artificial spreading by the scientific
force of the University of Kansas of the
diseased chinch bug, which, it is claimed,
has destroyed millions of these insects.
A few diseased insects, attacked by, a
fungus growth, were discovered, and
these were used to inocuiate others, and
obtained they were let go and soon
spread devastation and death to those
with whom they came in contact. This
method is the subject OF criticism, how
pears spontaneously in the wet sea-
son and it is then that the bugs die
off; artificial spreading of the disease
can only be accomplished during the
same season, while at other times the
bugs defy the attacks of scientists. Prof.
I4ugger proposes to investigate the sub,
joct on a large scale in Minnesota and
has secured the services of Q corps OF
trained assistants, who will be located
in all the counties where the grain crops
have suffered. Diseased bugs win be
sent all over the State and the result
viii be accurately studied.

LONDON. April IS. 1896. interviews
were obtained by the United Press today
with members of the leading firms deal
ing in petroleum, who are unanimous in
saying that they do not expect that
oil will ever return to the low prices
which have ruled in recent years. They
do not believe that the present boom
will last longer than three months, when
the Russian producers win place increased
supplies of oil in Western Europe, and
the season of the year will decrease the
consumption. The general belief is that
the commodity will retain firmness in
Europe longer than in the United States,
and that the price will ultimately range
about a dollar a barrel
