To the tune of "Everybody's Hoing It." the crowd started to "rag" and de manded repeated encores. All this put a- lot- ot "M" and ringer In yesterday's- proceedin&s and started the real activity of land show week. Tile crowds yesterday after noon, and. evening were so. grcal that the main floor could not cmrrain them all.

Wash., which Ini Indus more than l.'i varieties of farm prod ucts. Of particular Interest in this display are the great sqiiasii. which many experts mistake for pumpkins. They were grown en the farm ! Al bert Hawkins, near Vancouver, and while resembling pumpkins in size and onrward appearance really are an 'Im proved" form of squash. Even experi enced farmers are fooled in judsmg them. A recent tabulation or opinions of those who saw them showed that 17 persons guessed, them, as pumpkins while 13 said they are squash. Baker County. Or. has a bontli of fruits, vegetables and grains from both dry and irrigated' sections. Some of the best Rome Beauties and Arkansas Blacks in the building are InrluuVd in this- display. Timothy; nrrusiiaily tall, and a superior variety of grains are further evidences of the qualny of Baker County soil. The judges will not conclude I heir work until late in the week. They will be busy almost day and night scoring many competitive boxes of apples. Among the best general displays of apples Is -that of the Goldcndale, Wash., district. A dozen leading varie ties are presented In well-pncked boxes and artistically displayed. Thou sands have stopped before the Golden dale booth In. the last few days and admired this exhibit. Goldendaie is becoming one of the banner apple- and fruit producing districts in the North w ,st, as Is evidenced by this display. Trnnnformmtioa Is Sfeawu. Much interest baa centered on the exhibit of the PrlnevIHe dlstrii t. This is probably the most comprehensive display on the floor, as it shows the development of the arid land in Cen tral Oregon from, its natural or "raw" state to its full bearing condition. At one extreme is shown an Indian tepee surrounded by- sagebrush and bunch srrass. typical of the unsettled country in Crook County, plenty of which is awaiting tba coming or me farmer. This bunch grass is excellent stock feed and has done its share in making Central Oregon a cattle and sheep-raising country. But the com ing of the railroads two years ago transformed thousands of acres into productive agricultural regions. How this has been accomplished Is shown by a series of soil and produce exhib its. The flrst of these shows potatoes and small onions, which are the best crops for the new ground right after it has been cleared of sagebrush ana broken. The succeeding two or three years, as represented by respective land exhibits, show a superior quality of potatoes and a greater quantity of onions. Beans, field peas and other vegetables also are produced in the second, third and fourth years. After that the land is ready for almost any kind of crops, including fruits, grains of all kinds and various grasses. Kovelty Exhibits Sera. The decorative features of this dis play were provided by J. H. Gray & Sons, proprietors of the Bonny View Farm, near Prineville. The senior Mr. Gray is in attendance at the Land Show and also has been attending the Dairy Show for the purpose of pur chasing some breeding stock for his farm. The Gray place has been noted principally as a stock farm. Importing blooded cattle from foreign countries. Corn and wheat are included in the exhibits of the Bonny View Farm, demonstrating conclusively that the soil and climate ot Oregon are as well adapted to growing the former spe cies of grain as the latter. The novelty exhibits include seedless apples, shown by T. 8. Hamilton, of Crook County; a coffee plant and sweet Winesap apples. Sunflowers 14 feet high and almost as many feet in cir cumference attract universal atten tion. Some alfalfa is six and a half feet high. . The aggregate length of alfalfa produced in the two cuttings of the present year is 11 feet. Rye nine feet high; oats which yielded 113 bushels to the acre; goose wheat, kaf flr corn from seed distributed by the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and a supe rior quality of oats, all testify to the productivity of the soil around Prine Tllle. Honey, parsley, Canadian field peas, flax and wool are among the evi dences of the diversification of prod ucts of this section. Finish Pv4s Shewau Interesting features of this exhibit are the wool and stockings displayed by Mrs. M. M. Davenport. The wool was clipped from sheep on her own place. She scoured it, combed It, spun it, and knitted the stockings herself. A crop that attracts much attention among the visitors to the Prineville booth Is the alfllaree, which is a grass greatly resembling alfalfa. It is more productive, it is asserted, and many Crook County farmers ax grow ing it successfully. As further evidence of the favorable conditions of the Crook County soil, is the tobacco plant exhibited by 'unman Reuter in the Madras booth. 'While Mr. Reuter does not presume that to bacco can be grown with economic suc cess In Oregon, the fact that it will mature, he points out, is proof of the theory that the Central Oregon climate Is mild and agreeable.

Phos phorus is one of fourteen elements composing the body divided among bones, flesh, nervous system and other organs. The perfect health of body requires a perfect balance of the elements. These elements come from the food we eat the stomach extracts and distributes them.
