This land was covered with sago brush in April and thogardon work was begun the fore part of May. It is as fine a garden as can bo found in this country with n var iety of products that will cover the needs of sevoral families during a year. Besides about an acres devoted to potatoes they have corn, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, onions, parsips, peas, etc, all growing fine. This has not had any special care other than the usual work to keep it cultivated The water has been drawn by a windmill and only n portion has received any irrigation. The best of tho potatoes and some of the onions have not received a drop of water. What has been accomplished by Mr. Schwartz is within the reach of practically every home steader in Harney county. The expense has been nominal and compared with what has been produced is a small item. With every homesteader having a simi lar garden there would bo no un easiness as to supplies for tho winter as this tract has produced sufficient vegetables to supply any family for the entire year.

There should be more houses for rent in Burns to accommo date outside pupils who come here for sceool purposes; or bet ter still prosperous farmers should follow the example set by others and build their own cot tages in Burns as this is the ed ucational center and will continue to be. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. Portland Corespondent Farmers and stockraiscrs of tho Pacific Northwest have an opportunity to win a number of valuable prizes at the big land show to be held in the East and Middle west next Winter. At NewYork City's first land show, to be held in Madison Square Garden 1 to 12, cups valued at $1000 each will be offered for the best exhi bits of single products. These include wheat, oats, potatoes, corn, barley, apples, sugar beets, hops, alfalfa, ect The New York exposition will be the biggest land show ever held in America and the most valuable prizes ever offered for agricultural products will be awarded. Agriculture as it is generally practiced, dry farming and irrigation methods will bo demonstrated. Moving pictures, lectures, literature and actual farmers will demonstrate tho nd. vantage' of owning and develop ing land. The show will voico the cry of "back to tho soil." It will show tillers of worn out land how to rejuvenate their soils or where to seek richer farms; it will point the city man to green fields and will direct the immigrant. It is of special advantage for Oregon and Washington to bo will represented at this big show and commercial bodies and the railroads aro urging tho fullest co-operation by Northwest prod ucers. F. W. Graham, Western Immigration Agent for the Great Northern Railway, Portland, will supply entry blanks to nil who will exhibit and will give full in formation as to preparation for shipping. There is no entry foe required. Urging tho governors of nil tho states to help along tho "Sco America First" movement, Gov ernor West has addressed a letter to them, calling their nttention to tho beauties of tho Pacific Northwest and making an urgent appeal to do everything possible to stay tho tide of foreign trnvol and turn it to tho pacific coast Governor West calls nttention to tho fact that this tendency on thojpnrt of Amoricans is a groat economic loss to tho country and should bo combatted on every possiblo occasion. Ho estimates that ?3,000,000 is spent aboard every season by Americans that should bo used in seeing their own country instead. The Gov ernor calls nttention to tho big convention called for Baltimore January '2'2.-27, 1912, when tho "See-America-First" movement will be discussed and asks that each state send a big delegation. Lane County expects to have tho biggest showing of register ed stock it has ever assembled for its annual county fair, open ing Septemter -0 and lasting four days. The exhibit pavilion will be much enlarged and a great showing of farm products will be made. . r Northwest Doclopmcnt l.cnguc.

' Every Stale Accepts Space. Seven states and Alaska have accepted tho space tendered them at tho Northwest Land Show to bo held at St Paul Dec ember 12 to 23 under the auspi ces of the Northwestern Devel opment League. A week ago word was sent to the governors of the stales advis ing that space had been bought by Minneapolis, St. Paul and Dulutli business men lo b appor tioned to tho states in tho Lea gue. Every governor has replied that the space would bo accepted and Tilled with products. Among tho most interesting exhibits will bo that from Alaska which will show not only tho mineral, fur and fish products, but ulso demonstrate that Alas ka is a good country for garden ing and will produco moro wheat and bnrloy than Norway and Sweden combined.

It is particularly desired to havo a good display of our prod ucts at the fair as wo aro to have prominent outside visitors here for the Development League meeting and the fair, besides tho railroad system and outside com mercial organizations want dis play for advertising purposes that must bo fulfilled. These displays will do a great deal to ward attracting prospective home seekers and investors to this sec tion and since tho railroads arc willing to assume all the expense of transporting thuo products to the various land shows and other places after thoy aro gath ered we should mako an effort to gel them ready. The Fair Association has ar ranged for district exhibts and has offered very liberal prizes. There arc four of these in all tot bo distributed botween seven (lis-, tricls. The first prhu is $50, $2fi lo second, $15 lo third and $10 to fourth.

The special prizes aro offered in order that each district may be justified in making a special effort to collect an exhibit and bo represented at the fair. It is impossible for tho Association to cover the county and gather the exhibits for it takes time and exhibits gathered to early can not always bo kept in best con dition.
