' 1 I The primary Interest of the people of rtiej state , of Oregon is- In tht uttlmaU prosperity of their slate and as Oregon is an agricultural state and the first essential to Oregon's - prosperity h is .,a prosperous agriculture.' Prosperity; comes ta farmers, as it does to 1 every i other producer, through extended markets land an adequate price for the product of time; labor and money expended. 'AUM IS BASIS f ! I I ! If t the Oregon farmer is i prosperous the whole state is prosperous. If I the flrdifin farmer is do Vert v i strlckeni or is in danger of becoming so, then i the whole -state will suffer accordingly.) In the main, Oregon farmers arei not : receiving an adequate price for their farm products. The argument that in creased production tends to reduce prices of farm products is fallacious. Thjere is an irreducible minimum JeloW whjich :the farmer cannot profltablyl sell hisj crop and remain prosperous. When that minimum is reached production in evitably decreases because '( the Incen tive to- produce Is lost- fj: A-.' :!";... --.. ! .- Varmers then flock: to urban centers and become consumers Instead of pro- jdu$ers; there is a slackening up In Jpro- UUCIIUI1 BilU' LIIC VUllDUUIVt aiww . a-"? ; mm w blether price because there is i ai de a de li' H tads at- creased supply.

PfiOI'lT "IS IXCEJITITE The, greatest incentive to labor is prof iti for the product of time and labor expended on the farm. r ; ! ' The- duties of the proposed state mar ket director of Oregon will ibe to assist farmers In Oregon to sell! their farm products in the most profitable markets. bver 75 per cent of all the farm products gVown in Oregon i are sold j out side the state' itself.)

I BAKER ART NG TILLAMOOK BLUE RIBBON CONTENDER J Salem, Aug. 28. -Marion, Polk and Washington county dairy cattle breeders who have heretofore held almost, undisputed 'sway , in the di vision of the spoils in" their depart ment of. the Oregon state fair, ; will have- to .look .to, their laurels this year, according to A. H. - Lea, secre tary of the state fair board. t From present indications the real con test for the blue ribbons in the dairy cattle division at the -1920 fair will lie between the coast counties of Tillamook and Coos. Tillamook county Lea slates, is 'coming to the fair this year, with a carload each of Holsteins and Guern seys and a big herd of Ayrshlres, while Coos : county t breeders have signified their intention of taking home their share of the honors. - ,i i Xot even the "IS big barns which in years past have been ample to house the livestock exhibits at. the Oregon fair, will be sufficient to take car of the entries this year. Lea declares . ; i - J " Besides Oregon exhibits there win be numerous entries from, the states of the Kast and Middle West necessitating the erection of tents or a resort to other ex pediences in caring for the overflow of exhibits.." - - I -.-v ' ;; ! Lea; is now figuring on the construc tion of a double row of stalls along one Side of the mammoth stadium for the ac commodation of the horse show; entries and a part of the race horses , as one means of solving the housing ptjpbem with which the fair is faced at this time, I .Word from Professor Nelson of. the Oregon Agricultural college, superin tendent of the sheep-exhibits, Js to the effect that there win be more heep en tered at the 1920 fair han ever before, while f the same sentiment is echoed in reports ,f rom i the hog and poultry men interested lnt the . forthcoming show. &ABBIT FKATtBE BIO i j Rabbits, I'which" heretofore have been passed up entlrelyby the fair board as not' of 1 sufficient importance to. merit classification, will come into their own for the first time this year. v Already more than 500 entries are assured in the rabbit department. Lea states, although the board extended its. official recogni tion to this class of entries with many i misgivings as to the showing that might be made by rabbit., breeders. . Kabblt breeders insist that the high cost of meat' Is just now' bringing their indus try into recognition and. will cc-me to the fair prepared to demonstrate the prao tical side of rabbit raising. The housing problem at the fair also extends to the automobile and tractor divisions. Accessories. lighting plants and other exhibits which heretofore have shared the -automobile paviliiort must "this year seek other quarters, the entire commodious i building being given over entirely ; to automobile exhibitors who, even; at that, are clamoring for more Space. ;..-,I.-:. j--' - - ; j:..--, TRUCKS wrMERors I . Trucks which are being provided with a -new 'pavillion this year have so far overflowed their assigned quarters as to necessitate the use of the entire space between "the automobile and agricultural lavilIioHs, all of which is . already re served and. .exhibitors , still asking for space. ,. ' , All In all. Lea ' declares, j the problem this year will be one of taking care of the exhibitors at the biggest fair in the history of Oregon. , pAp Your OwnBusiriess VmrOui ; Do .
