Michigan Apples Will Be Scarce.

According to the monthly crop re-
port issued from the Office of the Sec
rotary Of state, the severe frosts in
the budding season, ravages of insects
and the extremely dry and hot wealth
er during the month of July have so
injured the apple crop that this years
yield will be the lightest in the past
ten years. The winter varieties that
promise best are in their order: Bald
win. Northern Spy. Ben Davis, Rus
sett and Greening.
The poor prospect for an average
crop of peaches in the Michigan fruit
belt is 80 per cent, and in the state
40 per cent. One year ago the pros.
pect was n and 67 per cent, re-
spectively.
Aside from a few complaints OF
smut, correspondents quite generally
report that wheat is of good quality
and the yield is above the average for
the past ten years. The average esti-
mated yield per acre is IS bushels.
Last month 231, 1S4 bushels OF wheat
were marketed, indicating that the
1909 crop has been disposed Of

M. n. G. CAMP
IS PITCHED
70 NAMED GEORGE A. CUSTER IN
HONOR OF GEN. CUSTER.
COMPANIES RANKS ARE FULL
Troops From All Parts of the State
Reach LudIneton, Those From
Saut st. Marie Being the
First on the Ground.

Lansing-The state camp near Lud-
tngton has been named Camp George
A. Custer in honor of Gen. George A.
Custer, in whose honor a monument
was unveiled at Monroe last June.
Nearly all of the troops landed in
Ludington on time, and some ahead
Of time. This is so unusual that the
way-up generals are wondering what
has happened.
The first command to arrive was
Company NJ, Third infantry, of Sault
ste. Marie, and the last the soldiers
from Detroit.
One of the principal things noticed
in the arrival of the troops was the
strength of the companies. Nearly
every company came with the full
strength allowed by the new military
law. The new law provides that in
times of peace each company shall
lave a minimum strength of So enlisted
men and a maximum strength of so en-
listed men and three officers. Nearly
all of the companies came to camp
with the maximum strength, which is
considered an excellent showing COM
pared with the small companies that
used to be brought to camp.
For years the state military board
has been under the impression that
the railroad companies carrying the
state troops have been getting repairs
done to their rolling stock at the ex-
pense of the state Of Michigan. They
have reported cars broken, blankets
missing and windows smashed in
such numbers that the military board
became suspicious that maybe the sol
diers were not such rowdies after all.
Brig. Gen. Carl A. Wagner, inspector
general, inspected every car after the
soldiers left II and took a note Of its
exact condition. Some of the windows
were found to be broken, but an in
yestigation by General Wagner re-
vealed that all but two of them were
broken before the soldiers entered
the cars. This year the military
board will not pay for any repairs that
General Wagner did not find.
AS soon as the troops landed at
Camp Custer they were mustered by
Col ]. N. Cox, adjutant general, and
Maj. William Hardy. assistant adju-
tant general. They were then sent TO
their camp sites and pitched their
tents.

GREAT EXPOSITION

GREAT BELGIAN WORLDS FAIR
DESTROYED BY FiRE-sTARTED
BY ELECTRIC WIRES.
HUNDRED THOUSAND ON GROUND
AS THE FIRE LEAPS FROM
BUILDING TO BUILDING.
Troops Handle the Situation So That
Only Two Are Killed In the
Stampede.

Fire started in the Belgian section
Of the international exhibition at
Brussels Sunday. The flames spread
quickly to the English and French
sections. which were soon destroyed.
Other sections were soon in flames.
So far as can be learned the fire
originated while there was the usual
large Sunday crowd outside the build
ing TO look at the fireworks. II seems
that the electric wires leading to
the temporary postoffice in the Bel
gian section became short circuited
and within a very few minutes the
office was a mass of flames. A few
minutes after the fire was discovered
the blaze was running fiercely along
the facade. which is the most strik-
ing feature of the section.
The facade is made OF substances
which were more unsubstantial than
those usually used in such construc-
ton and as a result the bui ding was
soon destroyed.
Fortunately the most priceless art
treasures which had been loaned TO
the exposition or acquired by II. in
Guiding 5000 valuable Gobelin tapes
tries, large exhibition OF jewelry
many paintings, marbles and ancient
furniture. were removed b. the po'
lice, firemen and exposition employees
beyond the reach of the flames and
the pillaging criminals who attempted
to take advantage OF disaster.
A strong gale carried the confag
ration through the Kermesse, jammed
with a Sunday crowd of nearly 1907
600 at the time of the outbreak, with
such speed that it is considered a
miracle that the panic stricken masses
were gotten out with a loss of no
greater than two killed and 80 in
iured.
The British loss is very large. IT
includes Tudor panelings from the
Toronto museum, costly MorlaiX ia
pestries and priceless furniture from
the collections of Bernard More, on
which he refused TO set anv price
They were insured for 100000.
