But Also Destroys other In
furious Insects.

Washington, July 16.-O. F. Cook,
discoverer of the Guatemalan boil
weevil eating ants, has wired the de-

avidity than they do the boil weevil
The ants do not injure at all the

Cotton Frultina Well.

Last weeks crop report Of the
weather bureau for Tennessee says:
The local rains which fell almost
daily over large portion Of the State,
supplemented by moderately high tenn.
perature, induced continued vigorous
growth of vegetation, but seriously
hindered the progress Of farm work,
such as blowing, haying, wheat thresh-
Ing and the harvesting of oats; as a
result the crops which are still grow
ing are getting foul for lack Of cultiyar
ton, and wheat is being damaged in
shock by sprouting: some of the crop
has been threshed with good results,
but considerable portion of the crop
will be lost A fine crop of oats is
being harvested as the weather per-
mits; some good hay has been lost
on account of the wet weather. Corn
is in fine condition of growth; most
OF the crop has been laid by and
much Of the early portion is assured.
Cotton is growing and fruiting well,
but the wet weather Is adverse to
proper development Tobacco is in
good condition of growth. The minor
crops, such as peas, millet, sorghum,
peanuts and sweet potatoes are grow
ing we'll Irish potatoes are making
satisfactory yields. Gardens are in
fine condition. Market vegetables are
doing well except that tomatoes are
Inclined too much to vine, and the wet
weather has been unfavorable for the
proper growth of melons. Fruits are
reported generally plentiful, with good
prospects for fall apples; in some sec
tions apples and peaches are reported
rotting and dropping. In some sec
tions the rains were partial, and dry
conditions prevail; in some places the
sains were heavy and damaging. A
period Of sunshine is much needed.

A PREMATURE REPORT.
Santos DumOnt's Return Depends
Upon Ability to Get New Silk
Envelope in Time.

Paris, July 16.-M. Santos-Dumont
has. begun negotiations with manufac-
turers Of silk balloon envelopes TO re-
pair his damaged dirigible balloon. He
says his return to the United States or
his abandonment of the st. Louis con-
tests depends ON The ability of the
manufacturers to supply an envelope
speedily. His reported intention not to
compete at st. Louis is, therefore,
premature, although it is generally be-
lieved that manufacturers will be una
BILE to furnish the material within the
time required.
