  disease. 
  On 
  another

  they 
  

   died,

  I 
  do 
  not 
  know 
  what 
  killed 
  them. 
  All 
  at

  they

  I 
  

   could 
  not

  "I 
  think 
  introducing 
  the 
  

   infected 
  bugs 
  saved 
  me 
  50

   June 
  1st: 
  "Chinch-bugs 
  are 
  very 
  numerous 
  here." 
  Infection 
  sent 
  June 
  5th; 
  experi- 
  

   ment 
  successful, 
  as 
  reported 
  November 
  2d: 
  "Distributed 
  the 
  dead 
  bugs 
  in 
  field 
  of 
  

   barley; 
  on 
  the 
  third 
  day 
  after 
  placing 
  them 
  out 
  it 
  began 
  to 
  rain, 
  and 
  was 
  quite 
  cold, 
  

   which 
  caused 
  the 
  bugs 
  to 
  go 
  into 
  the 
  ground. 
  Harvested 
  barley 
  in 
  about 
  two 
  weeks 
  

   after 
  turning 
  out 
  infection, 
  but 
  could 
  not 
  find 
  any 
  bugs, 
  dead 
  or 
  alive. 
  I 
  am 
  con- 
  

   vinced 
  that 
  you 
  have 
  a 
  process 
  that 
  will 
  destroy 
  all 
  bugs, 
  if 
  directions 
  are 
  rightly 
  

   followed. 
  I 
  am 
  positive 
  that 
  they 
  killed 
  every 
  bug 
  in 
  that 
  lot, 
  for 
  I 
  could 
  find 
  plenty 
  

   in 
  every 
  other 
  field, 
  but 
  in 
  that 
  there 
  were 
  none 
  to 
  be 
  found." 
  Under 
  later 
  date: 
  "I 
  

   saved 
  20 
  bushels 
  per 
  acre 
  in 
  my 
  field 
  of 
  barley, 
  which 
  I 
  never 
  thought 
  of 
  harvesting 
  

   before 
  I 
  used 
  your 
  infection."
