In this issue we publish Prof. Snow's sixth report on the result of chinch bug infection.
Prof. Snow Saves the Crop.
This report cannot fail to be read with gratification by farmers all over the state. It indicates the downfall of the chinch bug as a crop destroyer. The representative replies printed in this report from farmers who used the infected bugs, but whose neighbors did not, show that while the bug did much damage in their neighbors' fields, it was destroyed in their own and the crop saved Chas, F. Moran of Industry
Kan., says that old bugs were numerous and young ones overwhelming in his wheat. The infected bugs, however, exterminated them, and his crop was 16 bushels per acre. It is certain, therefore, that Prof. Snow's experiments in the laboratory saved Mr.Moran's wheat crop.
The value of Prof. Snow's work for the farmers is beyond computation, and will increase year by year. Farmers laugh a good deal at the men who delive in alcoves or "putter about" in the laboratory; but Prof. Snow has demonstrated the practical value of scientific study and by one experiment alone has made the State University worthy of the most liberal endowment that might be asked of the legislature by its regents.—Topeka Capital
