danced in high glee on the main floor.
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

started the real activity of land show

noon, and. evening were so. grcal that
the main floor could not cmrrain them

end of the week the constant presence
of great crowds Is expected.
Giant- !fqbe Punic.
One of rhe best examples ot li versi
fied farming on exhibition Is that of
Clark County. 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.

FLY'S DOOM REPORTED
SWATTING CRUSADE DECLARED
TO BE WORLD-WIDE.
Committee Telts Civic Federation
Past Year Has Been Most
Successful In History.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20. "The prob
lem that confronts us is to make vege
table life grow and flourish in unnat
ural surroundings, made so by the
ordinary methods of city construc
tion," said Henry N. Castle, of Norfolk,
Va. secretary of the commission on
beautifying the city, in addressing the
eighth annual convention of the Ameri
can Civic Association here today.
In presenting the report of the -fly-fighting
committee. Chairman Edward
Hatch, Jr., said the committee was
able to report the most successful
year's work since the beginning of the
popular movement looking to the ex
termination of the house fly. He sum
marized a series of reports coming
from cities and towns In all parts of
the country and said, the campaign was
becoming wlrld-wlde.
The committee's report said that In
cities in which substantial cash prizes
were awarded in no case did the num
ber of flies killed In the whole of a
campaign exceed the quantity that
easily could have been reared from an
average size pile of stable refuse in
a few weeks.
While the educational value of fly
killing campaigns cannot be overesti
mated, the report said greater results
might be obtained by conducting cam
paigns against dirty stables and back
yards, garbage heaps and dumps.

The body contains phosphorus sufficient to make 483,000 matches. 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.
But if stomach is deranged the balance of health Is destroyed and the
blood does not carry the proper elements to the different organs, and there
is blood trouble nerve trouble heart trouble. Pain is the hungry cry of
starved organs. Put the liver, stomach and organs of digestion and nutri
