Bccretary w. F. Noble oí the commlseion appolnted to arrauge for the Michigan exhibit at the New Orleans exhibttion. uiakes the followlug Etatement of the work which ia btlcg : "There is much more Interest manlfi sted iu this exposition thaa there was iu tte prior arraimements to the centennial. The exhiöit of Michigan wlll be on a erander scale than tt wbb at that time, also. I have had only two weflis )n which to work, but I have been able to Rccomplish more than in six months prior to the Uentenntal. At that time we had iio experienee in sueii work, and spent uiuch time in leamiDg. Now we know j'JSt what to do and how to do it. The commiesion is worklng harmoniously in every way, and there fs every evider.ce of an cminently successful career. 'The miEeral txbiblt made by the Upper Península vtül be vtry large and embrace the proper display of all Michigan'smany mlDerals. Mr. Davis, one of the assoeiate eommi66loner6, has the miitter in hand. A cabinet colleciion of mlnerals wi 1 be one of the special features of the exhibtt. The salt industry will be ps pecially prominent, and th salt bafin represented iu all its districts. Salt Inspector HUÍ representB that department and will display the valuable saline resources of tbe state as completely as poesible. 'The forcstry of Michigan is the flnest in any of the states, and the people gentrallv are much interested in securing specimens. I was in the Saginaw Valley this week, and the lumbermen are very much interesttd. Exhibits will be made of the hard and soft woodsin sictloos cf trees, planKB and polished specimeiiB. A cabinet collcction of 400 pitees, the propei ty of M. Eaglemeun, of Manlstee, will form ;.n inti-restijg part of the display. 'The cereals of the state have thi3 year been of splendid quality and quaniity. There will be exhibits frura tvery county'in the btate. The farmers are very much intcresttd, and I am daily in receipt ot reiurns of what has been coüected. I make occasional trips Into the interior as cccaslon demauds, and I fludnot oniy the farmers but all the people interested in this exhibtt. "The poinologlcal display wiil be the flnest evtr exhibi'.ed. The fruit erop this year has been unusually good, both in quantity and quality. B. P. Lyon and C. W. Uartleld bavu the matter in charge and are making tbtir collect'ons. Mr. O trfleld visited the Scate and Wt-fttrn Michigan fairs and rcucsted the fruit growers in picking thetr fruit to be careiul auJ preserve the bet specimens, so if called upon ttiy wl!l bc ready to rtspond. "PrtBident S. 1Í. Hammond, of the State Wool Growers' association, is engi-ged In making the collecüous for the wool exüibit, whlch wlll be a credit to tho state. Mlchlan pro duces a grade of wool that is much sought af ter, and this coUcction wlll be viewed with Interest. "The educational departraent, it is deeired, will be more complete than at the Uentennial exhibition, whee the exhibit attracttd marked ftitention irom tbe educational congrts3. QeD.

"The apiary will be n chargd of Prof. Cook, of tbe agricultural eoHege, and will be very complete. Tbat gentleman wilj act as detnonstrator." The Apple JMagrgot The following from Prof. Cook of the Aericultural Oliegc wlll beread with interest by the thouaands of íarmeri lnterested in apple culture. Whïle at tho state fair Mr. C. M. Weed called roy attemion to the f act that fruit: on ixbibHion was attackcd by the apple maggot. (Trypeta pomoneila.) Slnce returning home I have found a lialf barrel of fall applee, procured fn m Shiawaseee county, entirely ruined by this inBcct. I also hear tbat this raiggot is quite coiamon in apples about Lanstug. i'his insect has attackei the apples in New York and eome of the New Eügland Btatee lor years and has ben considerad by many as the mist grievous pegf. of the orchard. Last year [ received this luseci. from Mr. Pionix of Dulavan, W i. The iusect has been kuown to in 'est the ihorc-apple in Michigan, Vvisconsin and Illinois for jears, but unlil thts fnll I have not heard of i:s auackirgour Michigan apples. Wtehr the eastern maguóte htY.; been im porttd here Iz fruit Bhipped west, or whether !ur native nsects of Wlis species have learned hat apples are tootbsome, it is hard to say It is enough to know tüat (t 13 here and at work. A twowiDgeá fly lays lays m&ny egg3 on the apple in July. 'i'ne little white iootleas magots arepointed at the inouthenJ, and are poer si-esed of ilt'le black frpelj-movubie hooks wbicharc attached 10 a frsme work Just back of the heud. This poiated Dlack head and the absence of feet are enough tr nable us to disiuxulbh this insect from tüu cooliLg moth arva. Thcre are sevcriJ, not one, as in tfce ;ase of the old "aDple-worm," in a eiugle fruit. ! have taken twtlve iuatgots from a eli gle iip)le. These maggots eat turougU and through he apple and not jusi about the core, so the apple is not simply injund, it isrulnea, unitts, forsootb, it is thoughi well to inake eider ot snch fruit. ïhe filtny tunnels aud plump maj;ROts muke suca appUes moet disgust ing. The ïuaggots an; abüUt two-tenths of an inch ocg, and when full fed cöme fortb from email cinulsr hok'6. l have an apple that now, 8ept. dl), shows 8ii of these holes. Tbe larv leave the apples in September and Oetober, and go into the earth to pupate. The pupa resembles the larva rxcept it ts shorter, and not so poiLted in front. The fly which comes forth in J uce is black, with reet head and legs. Xt is less than oneïalf of un inch long. In form the fly resembles the house 0;. The wings are light crossed with dusky bars. These uiaggets do not attract atttntlon very much till in September, and eo are much the more harmful iu autumn fruit. They do work some, however, in winter fruit. In this resptct. - being for the part conflned to faJl pples - and In this respect alone, they are lees o be dreaded than the eodling moth. As will e easily unierstood by the aboye, this insect is a terrible eneiay, and we may well work to htai.'ip it out at the very outstt. As the appks attacked become ripe (arly acd fall prematurely, we have but to keep shetp r hogs in the orchard to deetroy tbem. Thig s the obIv remedy which [ can at present eugfce6t. Of rourse applea coutüining theBe maggote, which are gaihcred for use, should be 'ed to hogs ae soon as their condition ts learned. It Is of the utmost importance that. all tbis 'wormy" - we better say maggoty fruit - gbould )e treated so as to dt-?troy the magüots. Laneing, Oct. 10. 1884. A. J. Cook.
