AN INTERESTING ExHBIT.-Among the
exhibits at the State Fair will be one by
Matthew Cooke of the injurious insects of
California, especially those that infest fruit,
grapes, grain, etc. Mr.. Cooke has very
fine collection, which will be placed on Ia
bles, md also such appliances as have been
found the most practical for their destruction.
He viii also exhibit, and instruct those wish
ing TO lesrn, how to mix and make the best
solutions for exterminating insect pests. Ia
1880 and 1881 the exhibits of Mr.. Cooke were
the most interesting in the State Fair, and
We have no doubt but this year IL will be more
varied than ever before, as his collection Of
injurious insects is larger than heretofore
Microscopes viii be placed on the tables for
the use sno instruction Of all who may wish
to examine and become acquainted with the
appearance of the most destructive of pests,
the scale insect, which are among the minutest
works Of animal creation. There Is no doubt
but this exhibit from its practical nature,
will secure mora attention and interest from
ffuitgrOTers aud those engaged in kindred
industries, than any other at the State Fair
of 1888. The DirectoryIhs5 provided space
for this interesting exhibit in the south side
of the east building upstairs, which will af-
ford excellent light fer the use OF microscopes,
than st preceding fairs.
CALIFoRSIA FRUIT California fruit has
wide reputation in the East. Since the build
ing of the trEnscontinental railroad, the ship
ment of fruit East has annually increased,
until this year, to date, it is double that of
any preceding season. AS single example.
Ed. T. Earle Il Go. have already shipped to
Nh,s- Isakr eiz.,Es
hundred car-losds, and expect TO ship st least
one hundred more before the season closes.
Last year this firm did what was heretofore
regarded ss a large business, and shipped less
than one hundred cars during the entire ses-
son. Other firms Of this Gity-W. Il. Strong
& Co., Gregory, Barnes & Co., II. T. Brewer
& Co., S. Gsrson Il Co., and others-are also
doing large business, snd the supply Of good
shipping fruit, notwithstanding the reported
failure Of crop, is equal to the demand. From
four to six oars Of fruit go East daily attached
TO the express train, and shippers say that
the number Of young orchards that will come
into bearing next year will increase the sup
ply sufficiently TO justify the railroad COM
pany in running o daily fruit train OF ten
cars from this city, and which special trains
they anticipate viii be run.
A NECESSARY CHANGE.-0wing to the de-
mandupon cur columns and in order 70 accom-
modste al QUIZ patrons, 10 firm will hereafter
be allowed to occupy more than one column
of advertising space. For this reason the
announcement of Messrs. Weinstock & Lu-
bin appears to-day with this limitation, but
10 which space they asiH give daily notice Of
their special sales, season openings, fashion
letters, etc.
