" As the staeon advances the out
look for the coming apple crop in
the Doited States becomes poorer.
K big crop Was not to be expected,
following last year's large crop, and
in addition the spring has been un
favorable. The present indications
are that there will be a Rood de
mand at profitable prioes for all
shipping apples grown in the North
west and it is probable that it will
pay this year to' evaporate apples
which are not good enough to be
shipped.
Every boy should paste this in
his hat. Two business men were
conversing on a street corner the
other day when a lad about fifteen
"passed by and one of them re
marked: "That's a bright boy; I
am watching him. If he gets
. through another year without con
tracting any bad habits so prevalent
among sixteen year oia ooys in
town, I know where he will get the
offer of a good position." The boya
should remember that they are
watched by business men. The
. boy who is Btudious, prompt, ener
- gelio and reliable is preparing the
way for a good position from Eome
body. There are not enough such
young men to meet the constant
demand.
' . In the death of Dr. J. V. Watts,
of Lafayette, who died at hia home
Saturday, at the ripe age of 69
years, there is removed a man, who
" not only was prominent in the -pol
itical affairs of Oregon for a number
of years, but at one time also a con-
spicuous figure in the affairs of the
nation. "Dr. Watts stood between
Samuel J. Tilden and the presi
dency in 1878; in other words it
was his vote that elected Ruther
ford B. Hayes.; The squabble over
the electoral vote of Oregon, the ef
forts to disqualify Watts and the
'. final determination of the matter by
' the electoral commission, which
. decided in favor of Watts, is bis--
tory yet fresh in the minds of the
public. The vote of Watts settled
-the Tilden-Hayee content and gave
the country a Republican preeident
instead of a Democratic president.
Entering a New Era.
The Portland Oregonian, in a recent
:v Issue, under the caption of "Portland's
"'Opportunity," scores a number of points
. -which are particularly applicable to
c Medford at this time. '
- Like Portland, wo are just now enter
ing a new era, and the fact must be
-clear that the new epoch cannot be
limited to any former scale of opera
tions. We must discard the petty
jealousies of village life, the knockinsrs
and the pulling hack, and push forward
id a solid line like an army advancing
to an attack. .Nature bas decreed tbat
'.Medford is to be -the leading city of
Southern Oregon, the richest and mo-t
.productive section of the state, and it
falls to the duly of our people to grasp
-the situation with a firm band and Im
prove it. There can be no turning
back, no milk-and-water support of
beneficial policies unless the purpose is
to injure tne uuy.
There is now under wav of construe
tlon one of the most extensive Irrigating
ditches in the state. The completion
- of tbiB great enterprise means a great
. ueai lor tno ungue river valley, and
. incidentally to Aledford, for whatever
is beneficial to tbe valley generally Is
either directly or indirectly beneficial
to Med ford. The construction of the
1 ditch will make possible the cultiva
tion of thousands of acres of unproduc-
- tive and idle land; it will make more
productive the thousands of acres of
land which' is ' now under cultivation
and It will render possible (he accom-
..plishment of many other things wbicb
could not otherwise be dono.-
A company has been organized in the
city whose purpose it is to thoroughly
: teat toe-land In tbe vicinity of Medford
to ascertain whether or not oil .-exists
here.. The success of this-enterprise,
like all others of public Import, depends
entirety upon toe support ana eneour
agement given it by the citizens who
? will be either directly ,or Indirectly
benefited by its success. A thorough
examination of the surface of the land
which the company controls gives every
' indication of oil, and the company has
an abiding faitb in the success of their
undertaking. But aa before stated its
.. success depends wholly upon looal sup
port, and the support, if given at all.
should be tendered without grudging
and without doubt of its xnco'-fB.
A feeling of enthusiasm should per

INSTRUCTIVE TALK
Mr Smith Discusses Di
versified Farming as
Compared With Single
Crop flet hods Advo
cates Establishment of
Creameries. 7
Last Monday a'ternoon the initial
step was taken In what is hoped will
result in the adoption by the farmers of
Jaokson County, of the diversified plan
of farming which has been crowned
with such Haltering suuoesa wherever
it bas been tried, aud which is Uuln,
generally adoptud all over Oregon and
our sister -late, wasninginn.
At the request of C. H. Markham,
ncttnir for the Southern PnoiHo Rail
road Company, 0. L. Smith, a practical
aud experienced dairyman aud farmer
from Minnesota, gave a most Interest
ing ami instructive talk at the opora
house ou tno subject otaiversiited mrm
ing ana dairying.
Mr. Smith is one of a small coterie
Minnesota farmers, who, twenty years
ago awoke to a realization of the mot
tbat tbe svstera of one crop farm In
was bound to ultimately result In fall
ure, and who, with about a dozen other
raeu ol similar minds undertook to
terest the armors of the stale in the
dairying industry. How well they sue
ceeded Is shown by the fact that Minne
sotn bas In operation today 780 cream'
erles which make annually 85,000,000
pounds ol butter wblob they sell at an
nvorago market price of 20i centa per
nound. In 1858 tbe slate had. not
creamery within its borders, buldurin
that year three were established. They
were so successful that the lollowtng
year the number was ' increased
thirty, and the next year to one nun
dred. The inorease in the number of
creameries brought an increase In tb
income of the farmers so far In excess
of what the most sanguine expected
that they Increased rapidly each euu
ceeding jear until the final great
sultabove mentioned has been attained
and during tbe thirteen years in which
creameries have been In operation land
in tbat state bas more tban quadrupled
in value.
What has been accomplished In Min
oesota has been accomplished wherever
tbe matter has been tried, the result:
being in oroportion to the efforts pu
lortb. During the psst three years M
Smith has been laboring in eastern
Washington in tbe interest of diversi
fied farming, and during the earlv part
ol bis work met with tbe same dlscou
agements, the same disbelief among
the farmers ot tbat state tbat be con
fronted in bla own state ta tbe begin
ning. Washington has always been
regarded as a purelv grain state and
that no product other than wheatcould
be raised with profit. Yet today there
are several largo oo-ODoratlve cream
cries In operation in Washington, one
of which is paying large dividends ' am
tbe farmers who are interested are cn
joying a greater remuneration for tbel
labors than they secured for a number
ol years previous.
it nas ouen out recently that tbe
Campaign of EJr.cation"- was com
menced in tbe Willamette valley.
our own state, and tbe results aie ' al
readv becoming apparent. 'Farmers
are taking an interest in stockraislng,
dairying and kindred matters. There
are a number of creameries in opera
lion at different points in the valley,
which are meeting with the same mens
ure 'of- success attained elsewhere
Farmers are discarding tbeir poor Block
and replacing them with higher grades
tney are seeding their farms to grassen
lor pasturage and are preparing to em
bars: more extensively in Uio system o
diversified farming next !r. .
Tbe results which have been attainei
elsewhere Mr. Smith argues, and with
sound logic, can b had in the Roizi e
river valley. I bis Is Mr. Smith's firs
visit to thin section of the state and his
surprise at finding a valiev sn admira
lily adapted to the sy.-ti'm of farming of
wnleh he 19 the champion, was evi
denced by the glowing and enthusiastic
trihuto which be naid it.
ThesuiD and snhstance of Mr. Smith's
remarks was to the effect if farmers are
to succeed In business they must be
business-like: that they should kno
what every cow returns him; what
every bushel of wheat costs to raise it:
tbe cot of production of evervthinir
raised on the farm. When he talks on
farming be doe not Hav to quote the
experience or someone cue no nas lol
lowed and studied the business all his
life. He bas had seventeen vears of
farmers' institute worn in Minnesota:
ha beard the experience of hundreds of
other farmers, and "osseeses a wonder
iui store or anowieoge on all line? per
taining to his work. His talk was so
plain acd his arguments ro logical that
it could not fail to carry cmvic.ion Uf
els hearers. That his advice could be
adopted with profit by our farmers I
proven by what trie been accomplished
eisewnere.
