THE BUBAL NlW-YOMEfi. 
Fuertes as director of the service. W. O. 
Ken was appointed clerk to the committee. 
The temporary organization hitherto under 
the auspices of the Chief Signal Office 
of the Army was merged in the State service 
contemplated by law. The service begins 
with 4o regular volunteer stations and six 
United States stations, 49 of which stations 
display weather signals, and 81 crop corres¬ 
pondents. The central office of the commis- 
ion is located at Cornell University. 
A. D. Chase, of Watertown, N. Y., has been 
appointed statistician of the Agricultural De¬ 
partment for South Dakota . 
The first of the series of dairv conferences to 
be held at the fairs in New York State, was 
held at Walton, Delaware county, June 19, 
Col. Curtis and William II. Gilbert were the 
instructors, and gave a practical demonstra¬ 
tion to the farmers present of the processes of 
butter-makiug. The cream from 200 pounds 
of milk from a herd of grade Jerseys was 
churned, washed, salted and worked, and was 
found to veig-h 13^ pounds, and to be of fine 
quality and color. In the afternoon a similar 
test was made with an equal quantify o" milk 
from a herd of common cows, including a 
small proportion of Jersey grades. The quan¬ 
tity of butter obtained was only 7pounds, 
but the quality and color were good. Mr. 
Gilbert declared the average proportionate 
yield throughout the State to be about the 
same as the latter sample. 
The 09th anniversary of the Rhode Island So¬ 
ciety for the Encouragement of Domestic In¬ 
dustry, will be held at Narragansett Park, 
near Providence, September 23 to 27. David 
S. Collins of Cranston, secretary . 
Some sort of a fungus has attacked the cher¬ 
ry trees on Long Island, and threatens serious 
damage.... _Later reports about the 
insect mentioned elsewhere as threatening de- 
structiou to the grain crops in Indiana, say 
that complaints are increasing. They come 
chiefly from the central and eastern part of 
the State, but the ravages of the little bug 
have already spread to Northern Indiana, and 
the secretary of the State Board of Agricul¬ 
ture regards the reports as alarming. The 
insect is what is known among agriculturists 
as the “green midge,” another species of 
which is the “red midge.” The latter last ap¬ 
peared in that region about 15 years ago and 
did great damage to the growing wheat. The 
“green midge,” the little destroyer which is 
now doing such alarming work, has not been 
seen by farmers since 1865, when it almost en¬ 
tirely destroyed the wh^at crop of Indiana 
and neighboring States. Millions of them ap¬ 
pear in a field, settling upon a stalk from 
which they draw the sap, causing the grain 
to shrivel before it is matured. The insects 
are green in color. Little is known about the 
insects because their appearance has been 
rare .Latest reports give cheering 
news of the prospects for wheat in Minnesota 
and Dakota. The crop promises an increase 
of several million bushels over last year.
