Weekly Crop Report.

The following is synopsis OF the

moisture and sunshine than usual.
These conditions were unfavorable,
Warm, dry and sunny weather is need
ed for haying and harvesting. Some
wheat has been threshed; the yield is
less than half the usual amount and
the quality of the grain is poor. Corn
is becoming weedy. Oats are heavy
crop, of good quality. Timothy and
grass better than expected. Pastures
doing well. Buckwheat growing nice
ly. Potatoes good. Garden truck plenty
and good. Tomatoes ripening slowly
Middle section. The week opened up
fair and warm, followed by cool, cloudy
and showery weather. Harvesting
nearly completed. Oats generally well
beaded, but full of smut. Corn grow
ing rapidly and is in tassel. The crop
of hay is light. Clover scarce. Pastures
good. Potatoes ripening Some thresh-
ing done; wheat yielding poorly and

Northern section-all counties north
of Franklin. The weather conditions
have been favorable to growing vege-

fruits have prospered, though there
are complaints of damage to corn on
imperfectly drained land. Meadows
are too soft for moving. Wheat is too
damp to be threshed and oats have
been blown down so that it will be
difficult to harvest them. The ravages
of army worms continue. Many fields
of oats have been totally destroyed
and the worms are now attacking ad
jacent corn fields and pastures, Ap

The chineh B.g

The chinch bug extends over most Of
the United States east OF the Rocky
mountains. 1t is double brooded, the
insect passing the winter In the adult

iting eggs for the first brood Of young
during May. or June, these young be-
coming full grown and depositing eggs
In July and August, according TO To-
cality, and the young from these eggs
developing and passing the winter as
previously stated
Each female deposits about 500 eggs,
usually placing them about the sur
face OF the ground on stems OF grass,
grains, and, in rare cases. other plants.
The young are at first OF a red color
later changing to brown black, while
the adult Is black with white wings.
The wings are not obtained until full
development has been reached, and
hence In the most destructive period
the insects crawl instead Of fiy, and
the true cause OF injury is less on ac-
count Of the numbers than Of the hal
Of clustering in myriads on the plant
I attacked.
I A heavy fall Of rain during the
Matching season Is fatal to the very

TO hold the species In check, especially
during seasons of reasonable rainfall.
The chinch bug Is provided with a
sucking and not biting mouth and
therefore cannot be poisoned. nero
sene emulsion made and applied as
recommended in the text will be found
effective; ditching in front Of their ad.
vance, and blowing, narrowing and
rolling the ground will destroy large
numbers. The fungus can be- used &c

A TeIephonic siege.

A forecast Of the method In which
future international differences may
possibly be settled Is seen in story
fresh from Cuba.and fighting with bull
let and sword seem very brutal by
contrast. IL Is told how an insurrec-
ZIONIST officer in command Of rebel
regiment. arrived at the outskirts OF
a town defended by Spanish garri-
son. Instead Of exchanging the usual
compliments OF insurrectiOnist war
fare in the shape Of a shower Of bul.
lets, and the opening up Of his artill-
cry, he adopted the tactics Of the mod
ern prize fighter Managing TO secure
a connection with a long distance tele-
phone line. he asked to be switched
on to the commander Of the garrison.
When the Spanish commander re-
spOnded. he was at once summoned
to surrender. AZ n matter Of course.
his first reply to this demand was
that every man in the garrison would
shed his life's blood sooner than yield
to the enemies Of Spain. When this
stage was passed, which did not take
long, the Cuban insurgent leader sug-
gested that II might save lifeblood on
both sides II the question could be-
calmly discussed. This was eventual.
ly done. and after comparison Of the
relative strength Of the two forces,
the rebel chief was able to convince
the commander Of the garrison that
\ he had fallen into tolls from which
\ there was no escape. and that the
only alternative to certain death was
I capltulatiOn. II was clearly case OF
military chess, with check In very
few moves, and the Spaniard, seeing
4 that the fates We're against him
agreed to surrender. An hour after
ringing on the telephone. the two Of
ficers were grayely saluting each
other in the Plaza. and the Investment
of the city was more like the celebra
ton Of feast day than the incursior
Of n dreaded enemy.
