One of the biggest crops of fruit ever known in the Payette valley now seems to be an assured fact. Apples, the staple crop in this section, are thickly set with green fruit, as are also prunes, peaches, apricots, plums, etc. The frequent showers during the past 10 days have been of untold bene fit to orchardists and farmers alike, and especially to the dry farmers re- siding on the Black Canyon project south of the Payette valley. Already big crops of hay and grain are rapidly pushing ahead on these lands, and early gardens are already furnishing green stuff for the New Plymouth market. Only a slight touch of frost has visited this section and it did no damage, aside from slightly nipping the young corn. Altogether the sea son is exceptionally favorable for a prosperous year.

In speaking of the two expositions Judge Gail said: "The Sun Francisco exposition is a riot of color and beauty and entirely on a different scale from any of out former fairs. The impression one has upon entering the grounds, how ever, is that there seems to be alto gether too few people in attendance, or in other words, the fair around and buildings look almost lonely. At Sun Diego something of the same im pression is gained, but in a leaser degree. California now looks to the east und north for the next inMux of visitors, as practically the majority of California people have already visited both fairs."
