CROOK COUNTY COFFEE HAS Them All Faded Jack Sum mer Makes a Big Hit at Portland. Portlond Telegram There is one exhibit In the Land Products Show where tho coffeo bean can be found as it grows. Amazing as it may seom, that exhibit is from Crook County, the semi arid realm whore there are cold nights the year through, and whore dry farming methods are necessary. The coffee has been grown on a mere bush, which the expert manager of tho exhibit Jack Sum mers, has nursed to maturity, Just to show what ho can do. The exhibit suggests anything hut a rnnlKHl lunula urhor. roffee in its natural state thrives. If over an exhibit was arranged to make the Western plainsman ihomeslck, it Is this. After look ing at it for a moment, you can mell the sagebrush smoke of tho Indian tepee, hear the bucca roos riding through the grease- wood as tbey attend the Fail rodeo and see steers fattening on the whitened bunch grass of the roll- log hills. If ever a setting was ; designed which would Bujrgest! the opposite of a coffee plantation lons are lhe 6nv6t thnt could be it is that whiff from what thoUund anywhere in the world. world hns rrgarded the "Eastern Oregon Desert." Hut the coffee is there in its niuivo pod. -on the bush, which givw on a Prinoville farm. It is not Mocha nor Java, but the ver a Inns word of tho muster of this exhibit is ylveti, that it is real coffee, of tho bush variety, ami that its Lome was where tho coyotes serenade at night and jackrabblts disport all the time. For originally, it is conceded by visitors that the Prinlville ex hibit is remarkable. It Illust rates the pace of development between the Rockies and Casca- j des, where the sage brush is unl -versul. An Indian tepee is on tho right, begriraod with smoke, from which it would not surprise one to se tho greasy fuce of a Piute obtruder. There is grease wood and sagebrush nest, and then the famous bunchgrass, just us it is taken from the Eastern Oregon hills. Thon come the tirst products of tha white man, and Biialy all the vegetables and fruits known to the region. Land Product Show Instructive In point of now developments, the dry-farm exhibits at the Land Produnts Show are hold by many persons to be the most instructive.' There is one from Ashland, another from Madras, a third from Wallowa County and minor ones from other districts. In the Ashland exhibit there are 280 products, most of which are grown on one farm on the low hills adjacent to the town. In the Ashland district tho rainfall is said to be between 18 and SO inches a sear, a considerable portion of w.'Jch of course falls in the winter. For a long time tne hills of theRogueRiver basin were supposed not to be available (or cultivation, except by moans of irrigation, but the extensive work done by the d ry farm near the town has opened the eyes of the people of the district, ami they are urging this ' form of cultivation. From Wallowa another exhibit has been brought by C. U. Carper of Promise. This man wont Into what was sn unsettled country at the time of bis arrival, and bas made revolutions by long, patient study of the soil and climate, f'ich LwerVot thought lW8'iible uisexniouis commanuing mosi careful study of the farmers who are looking to conquest of new conditions in the Northwest. Tillman Router, the dry farm expert of the Madras district, has from tho view point of moisture concervation, the most Interest iDg display of all in this line. His products were grown in a section where the average rain fall runs 10 to 12 inches. Dry farm experts grow good produce where tboy get five to six inches of rain in the year, but for aver age farming conditions, it is said that little can be expected where time is less than 10 Inches.

To Be Held Annually. Making the Land Product Show an annuul event, combining agriculture and horticulture, and having it cover tho entire North west, including British Columbia, was voted yesterday by the ex hibitors and district represent-" atives attending the tirst land product snow ever held in Port land. This strong sentiment for continuance of the sow, and for making Portland its location, proved very gratifying to the people of Portland, who were at the time of the friendly express ion entertaining the visitors at luncheon In the Commercial Club. It has been the desire of the most public spirited local men to make the present Land Products show such a success that it would be made a permanent institution. To do this, the producers have to be satisfied that some ad vant age to the cause will result from gathering annually here, and the people of Portland and adjuoent country will have to be so inter ested that they will attend in large uumbers and furnish the foundation upon which the pro ducers and management can build. Many ideas have been suggest ed to make the Land Products Show more than a mere fair, and before this week closes it will be the effort to get a concrete work ing plan from- ail those who have studied the situation. Tho fact that the men who produce the fruit and agricultural products as gladly stated that they would do their part to make the show permanent, will be a pronounced encouragement in taking up other details.

Crook County Good at "Crook County chxibits and all other county exhibits at the Northwestern Products Exposi tion at Minneapolis, have variety and quility," writes Mr. John R Stinson of the Oregon & Western Colonization Company, who is in charge of their exhibit there. "Evry Northwest state is rep resented by bothstatesnd county exhibits, but there is nothing superior to Crook ccunty grains and grasses. "Another thing that is attract ing a great deal of attention is the fine showing of commercial sized potatoes.. "While our apple exhibit is small in size in comparison with many of the fruit exhibits. great surprise is shown that we grow such fine apples. One box of Winter Banana Apples in particulsr has excited great in terest, for in comparson it is a first class competitor of the same variety of apples from Wenatchee Yakima, Outario and other fruit districts. "The alfalfa showing is very tine; wheat, birley, outs and rye are excellent, but the center a land show. Ono is to bring tho producers together for study of each other's methods, and the other is to instruct the non-agricultural population in what the country is doing, and can be made to do, that the whole citizen ship of a state may be allied in promoting land production at every opportunity. By holding a great show each year in an ur ban center, where a third of the population of the state resides, and which will know little or nothing of agriculture except by such means, it is believed that the very highest results may be attained.

Thou sands of people have been drawn to the exhibit by their desire to see the bees working.

Every visitor is from Missouri, and when you are able to "show him" the actual products of the soil there is no better way of convincing them.

She isn't so very par ticular about it either. He must be somewhere between 35 and 40 and have some means. Now. Crook county can furnish plenty of good men who can fill the bill. It doesn't matter if you have red hair or no hair at all. Your age can be anything you want to make it and as to means well, you can leave that to your conscience. Gin up, you old bachelors and make this girl happy. Her letter reads as follows: Crook County Journal. My dear sir: Please print the following in your paper at your earliest conven ience: Husband wanted by an Eastern girl, Only one of some means may write, whose age is be tween thirty-five and forty.
