Snow, F. H.—The Chinch-bug Disease and Other Notes. (Insect 
Life, v. 4, Nos. 1 and 2, Oct., 1891, p. 69.) 
A brief resume of his work in Kansas in 1891 on the artificial 
dissemination of contagious disease among chinch-bugs. The 
year’s experiments in wheat fields as contrasted with those of 
1889 and 1890 in corn fields said to indicate that the massing of 
bugs on hills of corn is more favorable to the successful workings 
of the disease. Young bugs found as susceptible as old ones. As 
a result of trip through seven counties in the bug-infested belt 
an intelligent field agent reports eighty per cent, of the seventy- 
two experiments successful. 
Empusa and Sporotrichum said to develop side by side in the 
laboratory “infecting cages,” and dead bugs from field show both 
fungi and almost always Micrococcus. Another, larger, Micrococcus 
often present in dead and dying chinch-bugs. 
Outcome of: the year’s work considered highly encouraging. 
Results with cultures briefly noted.
