matoes and Apples
Mr. T. B. Price, who live eight
mile up the Ochoco, left a fine box
of tomatoes and apples at the
Journal office last week. Instead
of leaving them at this office thev
should have been sent to the Crook
County Fair. If Mrs. Price had
got them here two days earlier we
should have been delighted to have
entered them for her. Not that
we do not appreciate her gift but
simply to see her get full justice
for her splendid stuff. There waa
nothing at the fair to beat it. Fine
tomatoes that measured 12 inches
in circumference were thoroughly
ripe and of excellent flavor and
color.
The apple measured 12 inches
in circumference and for color and
flavor could not be beaten any
where- Mr. Price raise nrunes.

Crook County Fair
School Exhibit
The school exhibit at the Crook
County Fair this year was very
good, considering the ahort tirre
for preparation. Heretofore the
county fiir was held a month later
and thi gave mpe . time, tn which
to get ready. The Prineville
school j had just one week to pre
pare the exhibit and did well for
the time allowed. Redmond had a
good exhibit that was a credit to
to the Hub schools.
A noteworthy exhibit came from
the Shepherd school of Powell
Butte. In competition with all of
the schools of the county this little
one-room school, with an enroll
ment of but 20 pupils, was awarded
the Mrs. C. C. Chapman flag for the
best industrial exhibit in proportion
to the number of pupils entered at
the county fair. Too much credit
cannot be given the teacher, Mrs
Elizabeth Forrest, for her energy
and enthusiasm in encouraging and
directing the industrial work of the
school.
An oil painting that attracted un
usual attention was entered by
Goldie Moore, a 12-year-old girl of
Lamonta. The painting was
awarded the .blue ribbon and a
special prize of $1.

northwest of Prineville, where
samples of wheat, barley and corn
were sown and dry-farmed during
the past season. He said that Mr.
Towner bad performed his work;
splendidly and while the total re
sults were not altogether what
might have been looked for, still
conditions had been adverse and,
since it had been such an unusually
dry season, the crops from the
special fields were highly gratifying.
He was satisfied that the best of
results would flow from it
Prof. Shaw will report in detail
upon this dry-farming system on
the Towner place to President
Young of the Oregon Trunk. Be
