After the Oregon State Fair ia over the cream of the fruit and vegetable and gniln exhibits will be sent to the World's Fair, where they will be exhibited in the Oregon departments to which they prop erly belong. The State Agricultural College haa donated its magnillcent ex hibit of potatoes, grains, grasses and vegetables, and the State Board will send its special exhibits of grasses, grains, fruits and vegetables.

The fruits have all been labeled with the names of the growers who produced thera, and they derive all the benefit arising from the publicity given. ' The managers ot the Oregon ex hibits are using their very best endeav ors to place exhibits ia such a position as to eaten the eyes oi tne capital isw and those who are seeking homes. It is surprising to note the great nnmbet of people who are so much interested, and who want all the'literatnre they can pro cure on the subject. The exhibits will be the means of inducing many of the best class of bomeseekors to locate in Oregon during the next Ave years, and will bring unlimited capital. . INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.
