BENEFITS FRUIT GROWERS.
Exhibit of State Board of Hcrticu1-
ture Showing Injurious Insects.

The state board of horticulture has
arranged an exhibit in the southeastern
part of the main building that is bound
to be at once interesting and at the
same time instructive to farmers and
fruit growers visiting the fair. The
! exhibit as arranged shows all of the
destructive insects that have been
found to affect injuriously orchard
| trees in Utah. These are the insects
which the members of the board have
been trying to eliminate during the past
two years by spraying. 1t is the desire
of the members OF the board to have
the farmers and fruit men become bet
ter acquainted with the methods of
these ravages to the trees and at the
same time instruct them how to fight
them to advantage. The exhibit in
cludes fruit tree branches showing the
destructive work of fiathead borers,
apple worm, pear slug, root gall peach
mildew, San Jose scale, green aphis,
woolly aphis, red spider, peach borer
and elm scale. The exhibit is in charge

More Displays of Manufactured
Goods and Improvements.

Goods and Improvements.
The advent of the second day of the
big fair marked a great Improvement
in the display of manufactured goods,
which occupies nearly the entire floor
space on the first floor of the main
building. During the night and early
in the morning before the doors We're
onened for visitors q number of new
exhibitors erected booths in the former
vacant spots, while the old exhibitors
took advantage of their first days ex-
perience to add TO the attractiveness
OF their booths. As a result the exhibit
as a whole presented a greatly inn
proved appearance yesterday. The va
cant places affording such a strong con-
trast to the booths were missing, while
the added coloring of the booths blend
ed to make an effect at once pleasing
and attractive. Every foot of show
room on the first floor OF the main
building is now occupied. and the COM
posite view of the entire exhibit gained
from the second floor is such as to
make the visitors glad they live in Utah
when they behold the congregated evil
dence of the great resources of the
state.

ton made TO the department is the

Display of Silk.
The silk booth, arranged under the
direction of Margaret A. Game, secre-
tary of the state silk commission, is a

Baseball In the Desert.

Jimmy hit the ball, slow one, and
simply sent it ont OF sight. Away
over Bob Pettit's head it flew Us
though bound for the middle of
Sahara. Two hundred and fifty yards
from the intield squatted the Bcdou-
ms, still chatteriug and gesticulatinS
like crazy men. Whether or not they
saw the ball coming, l know not, but
that one of them will never forget his
introduction to the league baseball,
however, I am certain. 1t struck him
squarely upon the top of his black
head, and then bounded forty feet in
to the air.
The blow was, of course, hard one
but the terror it inspired was far
greater than the shock. An unearthly
howl broke from his lips as the Bedou-
in followed the ball into the air, and
the bedlam that instantly broke loose
was exceeded only by the scene in
front of our hotel that morning. Had
the sphinx herself charged into their
midst, those white-robed desert angels
could not have become more panic
stricken; aud when o few seconds
later Ned Hanlon plunged into their
demoralized ranks after the ball, they
fairly howled in their fright, and fed
in every direction like frightened
children. Within thirty seconds there
was not an Arab in sight, and it was
fully ten minutes before they plucked
up courage enough to steal around the
edge of the farthest sand-dune and
take up their former positions. -

This Setter Hunts Frogs,

"Talk about your dog Stories" said
prominent sporting man the other
day. Il saw something ont at CntotE
lake which beat anything ever heard
of. Nas out there hunting snipo,
and saw man riding around on
horseback, and in front of him was
circling an Irish setter. AS the fellow
did not have any gun, my curiosity
was aroused 10 know what he was
doing, but l supposed he was simply
breaking his dog. In few minutes
l saw him ride up to where the dog
was GA a dead stand, and tho horse
man proceeded to jsb pole he was
carrying down into tho ground, and,
bringing it up, took something off the
end of it. My curiosity was greater
than ever, and circling'around came
up with the hOrSem0n and asked him
what he WIS doing.
Hunting frogs was the reply.
"'What is the dog doing?' said [.
Hunting frogs was the laconic
answer
"'You don't mean to tell me that
tho dog will set the frogs, do you?'
~ don't mean anything else
"a few more questions and answers
brought out the fact that the dog had
seen his master hunting around in the
grass for frogs and speariuG them, and
hud of his own accord taken up the
task of locating the green beauties.
He was n thoroughly trained hunter
on birds, aud he soou became very ex-
pert in locating frogs, so his owner in

bis movements confirmed the state

made the inhabit ants OF that country
familiar with the food value Of the
potato. 1t is thought that the Spanish
brought the potato to Virginia. II
grows wild in China and Peru, and
was, according to accounts, taken by
the Spanish to Spain, and there
planted until it became an article in
common use. 1t is generally supposed
that the potato is root, but this is
not true. 1t is On underground stem,
which is swollen and increased by
stores of starch laid up for some, as
yet, undiscovered purpose. The egg
plant, tobacco, and the potato belong
to the same genus, and it is an inter-
esting item that both the potato and
tobacco wero first taken to Europe
