﻿10 
  CONTAGIOUS 
  DISEASES 
  OF 
  THE 
  CHINCH-BUG. 
  

  

  been 
  thus 
  successful, 
  I 
  am 
  anxious 
  to 
  keep 
  the 
  germs 
  of 
  the 
  disease 
  alive 
  in 
  my 
  labo- 
  

   ratory 
  continuously, 
  so 
  that 
  I 
  may 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  continue 
  the 
  experiment 
  during 
  the 
  

   coming 
  season. 
  In 
  order 
  that 
  the 
  vitality 
  of 
  these 
  germs 
  may 
  be 
  more 
  certainly 
  pre- 
  

   served, 
  I 
  desire 
  to 
  obtain 
  constant 
  supplies 
  of 
  live 
  chinch-bugs 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  

   communicating 
  the 
  disease 
  to 
  fresh 
  material 
  during 
  the 
  winter 
  and 
  spring. 
  I 
  there- 
  

   fore 
  respectfully 
  request 
  those 
  interested 
  in 
  these 
  experiments 
  to 
  furnish 
  the 
  desired 
  

   material. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  difficult 
  matter 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  live 
  bugs 
  in 
  Douglas 
  county, 
  and 
  the 
  

   farmers 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  will, 
  without 
  doubt, 
  willingly 
  cooperate 
  with 
  the 
  writer 
  in 
  con- 
  

   tinuing 
  an 
  investigation 
  which 
  promises 
  to 
  secure 
  to 
  them 
  results 
  of 
  great 
  practical 
  

   value.
