INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

' \ ———

It has been thought unnecessary to recapitulate in this report the results
ee of observations of previous years on the subject of the contagious diseases of
; the chinch-bug. The publication of the list of field experimenters who have
made reports is deemed advisable, even in face of its great length, under the
belief that an opportunity is thus given farmers to be informed of those in
their neighborhoods who have made field trials and who are therefore in po-
sition to speak at first hand of the probable value of the experiments. In
addition to the list of reporting experimenters, a general summary of the
season’s work in field and laboratory is given, and the needs of the Station
are set forth. The report is intended primarily for those especially inter-
ested within the State, 2. e., the wheat and corn growers, and the laboratory
notes and references to the technical work of the Station are brief and gen-
eralized.
The Director recognizes the need of many carefully-conducted series of
laboratory experiments to clear up points in the work now imperfectly under-
stood. But the evident very considerable work involved in the field experi-
menting, carried on with but a single center of infection and distribution, has
so taken up the available time of the Director and his assistants, that less
time than is desirable has been devoted to laboratory investigation. It is
hoped that this condition may be remedied during another year, and that the
full time of a laboratory assistant may be had.
Itis also desirable that several centers of infection and distribution be
+ established, so that this great labor may be divided, and especially so that the

; time elapsing between a request for infection and the coming into the hands
of the farmer of the infected bugs may be as short as possible.

The act establishing the Experiment Station is as follows:

House bill No. 639.

Aw Act to establish an Experimental Station at the State University of Kansas, to promote and con-
duct experiments for the destruction of chinch-bugs by contagion or infection, and making an ap-
propriation therefor.

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 3

OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIMENTS OF 1892.

I.—GENERAL NOTES AND RESULTS.

The first chinch-bugs for infection were received April 20. These bugs
came from Texas. With these bugs the infection cases were started with the
“white fungus,” Sporotrichum globuliferum. This now makes the fourth win-
ter through which this infection has been carried in the laboratory. Near
the close of the summer of 1891, a considerable number of dead bugs, whose
bodies were filled with this fungus growth, were put away in secure boxes to
be used for the beginning of the following season’s experiments. With the
first bugs sent in a healthy growth was soon obtained in the infection jars, and
as soon as the chinch-bugs began to be sent in considerable numbers from
various portions of the State the large infection boxes adopted last year were
again put into use.

The method of infecting and distributing during this season has been the
same as that adopted in 1891. Large, shallow boxes, in which infected bugs
were put from the small infection jars used in beginning the work, were kept

‘stocked with lit» bugs throughout the season. From these boxes a small

number of dead bugs covered with the fungus, dying bugs on the outsides of
whose bodies the fungus had not yet appeared, and active, apparently healthy
but presumably infected bugs, were sent in response to each request for in-
fection.

During the season 3,500 requests for infected bugs were received, of which
number more than 3,000 were from Kansas farmers. In every case where the
application was accompanied by live bugs (a condition obviously necessary in
order that the infection boxes might be kept stocked ) infected bugs were re-
turned. Resulting from these 3,000 applications, reports were received re-
garding 1,732 field experiments. Of these 1,732 experimenters, 196 report a
failure to give the infected bugs a trial for various reasons; the results for 120
cases were doubtful in the minds of the experimenters; in 372 cases no suc-
cessful results were obtained; and in 1,044 cases infected bugs were believed
to have been used with successful results. Thus 67.9 per cent. of the experi-
ments regarding the outcome of which reports were received were successful,
24.3 per cent. were unsuccessful, and 7.8 per cent. were doubtful. In making
these percentages the “no trial” reports were of course excluded.

Of these 1,044 successful reports, 383 include specific estimates of crops
saved by the experiments. The sum in cash value of these estimates is $39,-
481.15. Ifthe average amount may be fairly applied to the remainder of the
1,044 Kansas experimenters, an aggregate saving of $107,615.52 may be esti-

mated. In the two years 1891 and 1892, during which the Station has ex-
isted, an aggregate saving of crops amounting in cash value to $300,925.52 is
estimated.

Infected bugs were sent to eight States other than Kansas, and also to
Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Reports were received from 216 experi-
menters in these States and Territories, of which 153 report successful results,
16 unsuccessful, 7 doubtful, and 40 were unable to give the infected bugs a
trial.

The per cent. of successful reports from our field experiments is not so
great this year as last, nor is the estimated average saving by each success-
ful experiment. Undoubtedly one reason for this is, that the bugs were not.
prevalent in such large numbers this year. The Sporotrichum infection is
propagated by minute spores, which are carried from one bug to another by
the wind or by contact of one bug with another. It is evident, therefore, that
the more isolated the bugs are from one another, the less the opportunity for
the spores to find their victims. It seems, moreover, that the meterological
conditions have not on the whole been so favorable for the growth of the
fungus as last year. This was evidently the case here at Lawrence. There
is no question that the successful propagation of the fungus is in a large
measure dependent on atmospheric conditions. While, with our best efforts.
to maintain the proper conditions at the Experimental Station, the fungus be-
came only desultory in its growth, in the fields in Reno county, for instance,
the fungus was spreading rapidly. Observations of this character have
brought us to the opinion that the efficiency of the enterprise would be
greatly promoted if several centers for propagating and distributing the
fungus were maintained during the time of the chinch-bug ravages, say from
May till September. This, we believe, would insure greater certainty in
having a supply of the fungus always on hand the day the orders are re-
ceived, and two or three days would often be saved in time of transit. When
the chinch-bugs are present in large numbers in a field, the saving of a few
days’ time in the application of the infection might result, in the aggregate, in
the rescue of large values. It is probable that the maintenance of four such
stations for the time suggested could be accomplished by the expenditure of
$1,200 per annum.

II.—LABORATORY NOTES.

The white fungus infection, Sporotrichum globuliferum, as in previous
years, survived the winter in our laboratory in the bodies of dead bugs
which had been laid by from time to time during the previous summer. The
first chinch-bugs for infection came to our laboratory April 20, from Texas,
and with these we started our infection cases. Only a small number of bugs
was sent us at this early date and the disease worked slowly, as we had

found to be the case under like circumstances in previous years. However, —

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 5

when bugs for infection later in the spring came in in large numbers, from
Kansas, the disease spread rapidly enough to fill the orders. Our experience
in the laboratory as well as in the field confirmed our beliefs of previous years,

‘that the bugs must be massed in considerable numbers before the fungus can

spread rapidly.

Our infection boxes were kept in a basement laboratory, and as the heat
of summer increased the sides and floor were kept sprinkled, and the tempera-
ture was thus maintained below 85° F., and the atmosphere was compara-
tively humid. Nevertheless towards the middle of July, although bugs were
received in sufficient quantity to keep our boxes well stocked, the spread of
the disease began to decrease, and we had to call for contributions from in-
fested fields to fill our orders. It is more than probable that if boxes were
kept in ashaded place out of doors, for instance, in a shallow excavation in a
shaded bank, where the temperature might fall at night nearly to that in the
open, better results would be realized during the summer months.

In three instances dead bugs with no external fungus growth were sent in
from infected fields with the statement that the bugs had died rapidly as if
from disease. The bugs ranged in age from those just hatched to adults.
On close inspection, light-colored patches could be made out beneath the skin
of the abdomen of the red larval bugs. The crushed bodies of the bugs
were seen to contain mycelial growths similiar to those known to have died
of Sporotrichum. Placed in a moist chamber, the characteristic second growth
of Sporotrichum was produced on many, of the bugs. It thus seems that the
ravages of Sporotrichwn are not always marked by an external growth of
fungus. However, whether the fungus can be communicated through a field,
or to any extent without the formation of spores outside the body, is a subject
for consideration. It is known that in culture media and within the bug the
fungus breaks up into hyphal bodies, illustrated by figures 4, 5, and 6, plate
II, of our First Annual Report. Whether these bodies can in any way gain
exit from the bug and act as the ordinary erial spores in distributing the dis-
ease, we have no direct evidence to show. None of the bugs sent us from the
fields above mentioned showed an external growth of Sporotrichum; yet this
disease was undoubtedly present throughout these fields.

Empusa aphidis was present in our infection boxes and in some fields
during the summer of 1891; but although we reserved an abundance of ma-
terial to start this infection this spring, it did not start into new growth, and
no case of parasitism by this fungus came under our observation this season.
We have attempted during the past season to accumulate further evidence of
a bacterial disease of the chinch-bug. The results of our experiments have
been contradictory, and the question is not yet sufficiently settled to make a
detailed report of value. Professor Forbes has discovered that bacteria nor-
mally exist in the digestive tract of Hemiptera and that Micrococcus insecto-
rum occurs in chinch-bugs showing no signs of disease. Our observations
made on chinch-bugs of different ages sent in from various parts of the State

agree with Professor Forbes’s statement. There are certain phenomena,
however, in our laboratory and field experiments that warrant us in pursuing
the inquiry still further.

III.—REPORT OF FIELD AGENT.

To the Director of the Experiment Station :

Having served you another year in the capacity of your special agent, I
present my report.

During the present season I have visited 15 counties, three less than the
number visited by me during the season of 91. They are: Osage, Lyon,
Shawnee, Chase, Marion, McPherson, Harvey, Reno, Sumner, Elk, Coffey,
Labette, Franklin, Allen, and Wabaunsee. In these counties I found that
the ravages of the chinch-bugs were inconsiderable, with the exception of
Lyon county, in the central and northern parts of which corn fields had been
in a few instances almost completely destroyed, and in many cases partially
damaged. Elk county, where last year bugs had been the cause of much in-
jury to growing crops, I found relatively free from the pests. It is interest-
ing to note that, where successful experiments were conducted last year, the
farms are almost universally free from the presence of the injurious insects
this season.

Of the crops damaged this year, the wheat fields have suffered least.

Sporotrichum, the white fungus, made its appearance early in the spring.
As late as the first week in August, I had an opportunity to observe the re-
sults of white fungus in the corn field of Mel. H. Calbeck, near Peabody,

Marion county. In Mr. Calbeck’s field, the results were entirely satisfactory.

The appearance of this disease in the field was subject to the same general
conditions heretofore observed. The field lay alongside a field of wheat stub-
ble, from which the bugs had gone in upon the corn from 20 to 30 rows deep.
The lower blades of the stalks in these rows were seared and dead, and while
the bugs were not present in sufficient numbers to inflict any great injury,
their destructive operations were suddenly and entirely checked.

Before dying, the bugs had secreted themselves in crevices in the earth,
beneath bunches of grass, and under clods. The dead ones were enshrouded
in the characteristic white fungus. The behavior of this disease wherever I
have observed it has been in no wise different from that of last year. Also,
as far as I have been able to learn, wherever it has manifested itself, it gave
the utmost satisfaction to the experimenter.

The gray fungus, Empusa aphidis, I have been unable to find in any fields,

although throughout the entire season’s observations I have kept a most vigi-—

lant watch for its presence.
As to bunching bugs: I have observed that the bugs moulted at irregular
intervals during the season. The first bunches to which my attention was

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. | 7

called were in the corn field of T. N. McFadden, of Waverly, Coffey county.
Two days after the infection was put into the field the bugs began to collect
in small heaps about the foot of the stalks, under clods or in depressions, but
only in that part of the field in which the infection had been distributed
The day was extremely warm, and the soil was dry. I visited the field twice
during the day, once at 9 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m. At both times the
actions of the apparently sick bugs were in no wise different. The bunches
contained three sizes—the very small red bugs (larvee), the larger brown,
wingless ones (pup), and the black winged ones (adults). The second class
predominated. These bugs had neither “bursted” nor moulted, to any no-
ticeable extent; only an occasional moult did I see near the edges of the
heaps, which did not generally exceed four or five teaspoonfuls to a place.
As to farther results I have received no word.

The tenth day after the infection has been scattered is almost invariably
given by the farmers for the bugs to wholly disappear after bunching. This
interval is given without regard to the time of season.

During the last week of July and the first week of August I saw thou-
sands of freshly moulted bugs in all fields, but these had pretty generally left
their skins in the axils of the corn blades, At this time I did not find a single
bunch of moulting bugs in either infected or uninfected field. But two re-
ports of bunching bugs in uninfected fields have reached me, and a close in-
vestigation failed to disclose any traces of these bunches, and the remaining
live bugs were not found in large numbers. These heaps were said to have.
been in the low places—the furrows of the cultivator.

Wherever I have observed bunching, the skins have mostly been those of
the wingless, large brown bugs (pupz), while the little red ones (larvze) were
found dead in no small numbers, intact, among the open skins. Wherever
such bunching has occurred, a disappearance, if not by death then by migra-
tion, has uniformly resulted. The phenomenon of bunching has only been
seen and reported during the warm, dry weather.

In numerous instances, the fact that chinch-bugs, regardless of the time
of the season, have scattered shortly after the infection has been placed in the
fields, has brought forth the question, “ Did your infection cause them to scat-
ter?” The general consensus of opinion among the farmer-experimenters who
have perceived. such results is an affirmative one. I have again and again
observed the above results, and in each case I have failed to find even traces
of Sporotrichum or Empusa. Small and large have apparently taken to trav-
eling from the same motive. I have only observed this in infected fields, un-
til the time when so many bugs were flying (during the last week of July
and the first week of August), when there seemed to be a general dispersal
in all fields.

Near Marion, Marion county, M. C. Price, after securing infection from
our laboratory, used it, he says, with splendid results. Within two weeks his
bugs had “bunched, bursted, and died.” Thereupon several of his neighbors

came to him for supplies of infection, and he declares, “almost to a man, the ee,
reports were similarly successful.” The time for results to be seen was the,
same in the majority of cases. A few white-fungus-covered bugs were found =
in Mr. Price’s field. I can vouch that where there had certainly been many
bugs, there were none worthy of mention at the time of my visit. It has
not fallen to my lot to see the bugs “bunching, burst, and die,” if burst and n
die they do, as reported so often by men of intelligence, -

In conclusion I have to say, that the season, so far as my observations ex-
tend, has been, all things considered, a very good one in percentage of suc-
cessful reports. The percentage of favorable reports will average, I think,
about the same as last year’s, notwithstanding the fact that, while chinch-bugs
were more generally distributed throughout the State this year, they have not
been nearly so numerous in the fields in which they made their appearance.
The observation that the infection works more rapidly and a more complete
extermination where the bugs are thickest holds good for this season as it
did last. A large number of the unfavorable reports I consider to be due to
the want of sufficient numbers of bugs in close proximity to each other for =
successful work. Nowhere have I found a chinch-bug disease prevailing as
an epidemic this year, from the fact just stated. Upon the whole, the condi-
tions of our present season have, I think, been less favorable than those of
last. a)

My work as your agent has been attended with no unpleasant circum- |
stances, as far as the people of our fair State are concerned. Everywhere
I have met with the kindest treatment. I find the interest in field-pest ex-
termination fast increasing among the farmers who openly welcome the aid ;
of science in both the cultivation and care of their crops and also in the ex-
termination of pests destructive to the products of their toil. With the aim
and work of the Experiment Station, I have everywhere found the peoplein
sympathy and watching with interest the final outcome of artificially-prop- .
agated infections for pest extermination. In such education they express
themselves as seeing an economic value worth to the State of Kansas a
thousand times the cost expended upon it. Yours obediently, .

- Ernest C. Hickey.

IV.—REPORT OF A FIELD TRIP BY ASSISTANT STEVENS. 4

F. H, Snow, Director of Experimental Station : a
Acting under your advice, I started, J uly 13, for Reno county, Kansas, __ ;
where several packages of infection material had been sent. A letter had

been received at your office from Mr. Hyde, living near Pretty Prairie P.
O., stating he had applied infection in his corn field, and asking for further
advice. I reached Mr. Hyde’s farm on the morning of the 14th, and we went
at once to his corn field. There I found the bugs had worked in about 10

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 9

rows on the side next to the wheat field. He said the bugs were not nearly
so numerous as when he began putting in the infection, but he did not know
what had become of them. We began turning over the clods, and there in
large quantites were bugs of all ages swarming, and masses of empty skins,
and a large number of dead bugs covered with the white growth of Sporo-
trichum. Mr. Hyde had attached no importance to these white bugs, in fact,
he did not recognize them as bugs. My magnifier, however, made this fact
clear to him. We found ‘these white bugs throughout the part of the field
attacked by bugs. Mr. Hyde had worked diligently with the infection. His
infection box was a thin cigar box! In our own experience boxes with
thick sides retain moisture longer and give better results.

We visited Mr. Mendenhill’s field, which adjoins Mr. Hyde’s. Here the
bugs had not been so numerous as at Mr. Hyde’s, and no infection had been
used. I could find no skins in this field, while at Mr. Hyde’s they were in
patches at the base of every hill. By diligent scratching about, I found the
Sporotrichum bugs. At Mr. Hyde’s white bugs were plentiful. Mr. Hyde
stated that the wind had been blowing from the east a few days previously,
and the infection might have been brought in this way. Mr. J. S. Morton
had obtained infection from our laboratory, and I visited his field. He said
there was hardly one bug now where there were 10,000 before he put in the
infection, and indeed there were few bugs in his field at the time of my visit.
I could find white bugs here and there, and some empty skins scattered about
in the soil. Mr. Morton said the corn had been literally covered with bugs.
These were the only fields in this vicinity that had been attacked by bugs,
and corn was everywhere in prime condition.

At Hutchinson I saw Wm. E. Hutchinson, president of the Valley State
Bank, and he gave me a striking account of his last year’s experience. He
said the bugs were making a rapid and clean sweep of his corn; and when he
read in your directions that it might take a week or more before the infection
began to work, he had ng hope of saving his crop. But after he put the in-
fection in the field, the bugs ceased their ravages and died in masses, turning
white. He had just started an infection box for this year at the time of my
visit, but with no immediate evidence of success.

Mr. Briggs, living near Nickerson, had obtained infection from Moore &
Chrisman at Hutchinson, to whom you had sent packages for distribution.
Mr. Briggs told me nearly an acre of corn had been devoured by the bugs
when he got the infection. I found only a few bugs in a limited locality in
his field. If the infection was instrumental in thinning out his bugs, as ob-
servations in other fields seemed to evidence, the recent rains had obliterated
all traces of it. Mr. Hoath and Mr. Wiley, not far from Mr. Briggs, had
like experiences —the bugs remaining in their fields, when I saw them, were
very few, and doing no noticeable damage. Mr. Morris, whose field adjoins
Mr. Briggs’s, had just started his infection, and the disease was showing its
effects in his box. It is worthy of note, here, that while the bugs had practi-

10 STATE UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTAL STATION. ig Os

cally disappeared in the fields of Mr. Briggs, Mr. Hoath, and Mr. Wiley,
where the disease had already had time to do its work, in the field of Mr.
Morris the bugs were still in force. I found on the farm of Mr. Strickler,
where the infection had been in his corn field for five days, that the bugs were
dying rapidly. I could find large numbers of Sporotrichwm-covered bugs
under the clods and fallen corn stalks. That part of Mr. Strickler’s field —
where the disease was at work was only separated from the farm of Mr. Morris
by a road and small uncultivated field. "

-Tosum up: In no field did I find all the bugs exterminated by the dis-
ease. In all of the fields where the infection had been working for two weeks,
the bugs had so greatly decreased in number as to be hardly worthy of note.
In one field where the infection had been only a few hours the bugs were still
in force. In another field where the the infection had been scattered five —
days previously the bugs were rapidly dying, and the dead bugs were covered
with a vigorous growth of Sporotrichum.

Respectfully submitted, W. C. STEVENS.

sacs VIII.—SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES OF CROPS SAVED IN KANSAS.
Ps

Of the 1,044 field experimenters in Kansas who report successful results,
383 gave estimates of crops saved to them by reason of the experiments. The
; sum in cash value of these estimates is $39,481.15, or an average of $103.08 for
aly each experimenter. If the average may be fairly applied to the remainder
oy of the 1,044 successful experimenters, an aggregate saving of $107,615.52 to
the Kansas experimenters may be estimated. The reported estimates, arranged
by crops, are as follows: ,

APPENDIX “B.”

DIRECTIONS FOR OBTAINING AND APPLYING THE CHINCH-BUG
INFECTION.

In order to keep up our supply of infected bugs, we must require that each

person sending for infection send us live bugs from the field. These should -

be put into a tin box (a baking powder box is excellent for this purpose),
without soil, and with a supply of green wheat or corn. The box should
have a tight-fitting cover, and no holes need to be made. We have found
that the bugs reach us in the best condition when sent in this way.

Upon receipt of infected bugs from the Station, a shallow box about 24x36
x6 inches, with tight joints, should be provided. Sprinkle the whole inside of

the box with water and put in enough green wheat or corn to cover the bot-

tom. Scatter the infected bugs over the bottom and put in a large quantity
of live bugs from the field; a quart would not be too many for a box of the
size above suggested. A smaller box may be used for a smaller quantity of
bugs. After the bugs have remained in the box two days, remove half of
them, alive and dead, and scatter them over that part of the field where the

bugs are thickest; at the same time replenish the infection box with more
bugs from the field. Continue to scatter bugs from the infection box over

the field at intervals of two days, until it is seen that the bugs are dying
rapidly all over the field. Keep the box moist by repeated pon and
change the green food as often as it loses its freshness.

Careful attention to these directions will often insure success where care-
less use of the infection would fail. Make daily notes on the appearance of
the bugs in the infection box and in the field, and of the weather while the
field infection is in progress. Note carefully the chinch-bug conditions in
neighboring fields. Keep a list of farmers who get infected bugs from your
farm.

Save a quantity of fungus-covered and non-fungus-covered dead bugs in a
tin box for use the following year. Put the infection box away for future
use.

Should the first lot of infected bugs from the Station seem to fail in their
purpose, send without delay for a new supply.

Do not fail to send a full report of the experiment to the Director of the
Station.
