We report every fow weeks that this or that section of the vulley Is planting or Is receiving trees to plant 100 or more acres In fruit. The time was when a 10-ncre planting would have caused much more com ment than 100-acre tracts now do. Tet every 100 acres does mean a great deal to the prosperity of thin valley It wilt only be a very few years until each and every one of these 100-ucre tracts will be producing commercial fruit to the extent of $30,000. These figures are surprising, no doubt, to the unltiated. But It Is easily figured, 65 trees to the acre In winter apples that bear six boxes to the tree, will make 13,000 boxes, which at tl per box means $33,000. That Is easy. : . Every farmer In Oregon should plant something for the Alaska-Yu-kon-Paclflc exposition, which Is to be held In Seattle In 1909. Grains, grosses and late vegetables from this year's harvest will go to make up the exhibits In the different departments. Farmers throughout the state can do a great deul toward making a repre sentative exhibit at this exposition, and anything they may do will not only be appreciated by the commis sion, but every Individual or firm send ing articles for exhibition purposes will receive due and full credit In the way of awards, medals, etc., that they may vtjn. Everybody knows that there Is blR money In strawberry culture In this valley, yet tho acreage Is not so large as It was several years ago. The only reason that can be advanced as to why this condition exists. Is the difficulty In the past In securing labor. Grande Ronde valley should be shipping straw berries' by the cnrload every sea son. It will pay either on a smull or an extensive scale. An effort should be made to encourage an Increased .acreage. It not only Is profitable to the grower but It furnishes employ ment to large numbers of people. Think of It, t'nlon county N only ftia.000 In debt!

The next time ' you hear some crank ask, "Where Is all of our money going?" you may tell him that 120,000 of It went to pay off our Indebtedness on April I, 1908. The populists actually refused to en dorse W. J. Bryan for president, at its national convention yesterday In St. Louis.
