No one can doubt that we have the ability to make an excellent sh'owing. The question is: Will we do it'.' If everybody leaves it to everybody else to make a showing of what Oregon can do, then the show will be meager and not worth attending, but If all who are able to do so lend interest to the affair by active participation, then success will be certain, and the State Fair of 1875 will excel all Its forernnners, and be a great help to the people of Oregon. Plums for Drying. Mr. T. McF. Patton shows us some fine specimens of the golden egg plums that came with a lot sold to the Aid en Company, by G. W. Walling A Co of Oswego. They are very large and firm fleshed, and so admirably suited to dry. In tills connection we may as well speak of the varieties of plums best suited for cultivation as adapted for drying. Some kinds yield more pro duct and make a better looking fruit when dried, than others, and when they possess equal flavor they, of course, are much more valuable. Size is quite an object, as largo plums are sooner and easier stoned and retain the juices more than smnller varieties. Muny persons bring plums to tho fac tory that are fully ripe, and so cannot be used, as instead of drying they melt and run off, leaving little product, and s would ho worse than worthless to plums for drying in . . . Q t i-iiubi mu muiiw J. luuimn ...iv..i.h..t should be picked as soon as size is at l tuinud and the ripening process sufli ! cietitly developed to insure a good pro i duct, otherwise the fruit cannot bo well , rf or th(, tlrie(1 pro(luct l)e l0ft ln ' r,rt hnim Air.

Larger and better plums were put on top than were found below in tho boxes, and tho fruit too ripe to bo of any use at all. Such transactions will of course Ihj to the ultimate disad vantage of tho parties wfco practico them. If we are to command a rep utation abroad for producing excollent dried fruit it must be by raising the best fruit for tho purpose, and by hand ling tiie same at proper season and in tho best manner to Insure the best re sults. All tho fruit furnished by Mr. Walling came in excellent order, was I''el t the proper time, and was of the very finest and largest varieties, As a consequence he received an extra price for the sumo, and richly deserved it. Copartnership as Sliecp-Ureeders. In our advertising columns will be found tho card of Messrs. John Miuto anil Walter A.

Sat.h.m, Sept. 0, 137o. llJItor ft'lllimc'ln Farmer: Sir: You desire my opinion of Or egon in comparison with California, ns n farming country, wliech I cheerfully glve,iiltliougli my recent arrival here has airordetl .mo but little opportunity for observation. Your golden haired sl-itor is it won derful Stato in many respects; for big trees, great valleys, big bonanzas, big bank failures, big farms and wheat fields, wild and reckless speculation in mining stocks, big hotels, great expec tations, and great disappointments, California is unrivalled. Mr. Chandler of Sutler county, Cal. recently said to me that farming in that State was the most uncertain business in which a man could engage, and I believe this is true in the principal portion of the San. Jauquin and Sacramento valleys; yet with summer fallowing, their crops are rendered much more certain. There are favored localities in those valleys where farming is more certain and in many places in tho const range, crops are tolerably certain with good farming, but in all such places that nro convenient to market, the Sind is usually held by wealthy men, at a price too high for tho farmer of moder ate means. Divide the immense farms of California into .small ones, use tho available water for irrigation; put the land in the market at a fair price and California would soon lie n wealthy and excellent farming country; but un der present circumstances Oregon (as I view it ) offers by far the most invit ing field for the immigrant of moder ate means. I have long entertained a favorable opinion of your State, through knowl edge gained from travelers and corres pondents, yet In my three weeks' ob servation my expecations are more than realized, and I am favoyably dis appointed in the Willamette valley. I recently took a trip, with a gentleman of Salem, t j Prospect Hill, eight miles south, and there had one of the finest landscape views of my life. It seems to me that nothing can sur pass this valley In natural beauty, and the fertility of the soil is all that can bo desirl for successful farming. Tho price of land is moderate, uaimlly not above its value for farming. Here all men, even the poorest, who have pluck and industry, may secure a farm, and become in time as independent as the millionaire farmers of California. What more can be asked to make your State the groat attraction for those who wish to find homes on this coast and escapo lhe severe winters of the Mid dle and Northern States? You need more capital and more thorough farming. I notice n great de ficiency in this respect. You need a hotter market for your farming prod ucts, but that will como in duo time as the country is improved. I notice that some of your farmers produce tine crops of wheat and oats and tim othy. On tho farm of Mr. Parrisli, at Parrish's Gap, I saw timothy fivo feet high, and the thickest grass I ever saw stand. I have noticed wheat and oats correspondingly large, yet much of your grass und grain show the effect of very poor farming. I see timothy and wild oats growing on land broken up for summer fallow, preparing an abun dant crop of seed to choke the next year's crop of wheat. I consider it an extreme flight of fancy to call that kind of tillage summer fallowing. I mistook a flue growtli of potatoes for fern until I came to where thoy were digging, and when I asked tho farmer why ho allowed the fern to grow to choke his crop and 'ob it of its moisture, ho said: " Can't kill it." I notice some very thrifty apple, plum, cherry and other fruit trees in your towns and villages, and occasionally in the country, and yet mot of the country orchards are unthrifty and go ing to decay, wiillo tho trees aro yut dwarfs in size. Those stunted orchards should bo taken up and not suffered to cucumber the ground and deface the beauty of the country. Any thing that Is worth doing is worth doing well, if apple trees are worth raising i it will pay well to prune and cultivate them. If your land Is worth summer fallowing it will pay to plow deep, har row and cross-plpw and thus kill the fern and prepare, the soil to produce an abundant crop. One Held, well tilled, will make more profit than two fields with tho same amount of labor divided between them, lllg farms mid poor farming aro the curse of C.ilifinnla, and make amnio business for their lawyers., courts antt, snoriiiA i.ortunateiy lor Oregon your abundant rains prevent tho practicabil ity of oOjtlUOacrc farms and Jnsirf$ t,cr tainly of &oiuq kinds of crops, oven w ith lHxir farming. 1 hairiof land hero that has prodttcod wheat annually for thirty yo.i'rs and .till yields good crop. This may r-'icuk well for the -oil ami cliniiite, but it is a iojr reco.n.iioii'ia tion for tho farmer. It is said that pxperl.nci tiichiw thai land should not bo put it) whi'it nffriu'r than once in five yu.ip; ami where clover, timothy, birlny, p'iH, wlic.it and potatoes make a siirv crop, ih they do in Oregon, tlioro is no g) ) 1 reisoii for abusing tho fertile soil. You have abundance of good rail timber; fence your farms into five or six fields and ro- tato your crops; convert your grass and hay into bntter and cheese, and remem ber that a good cow well kept is worth several poor ones. Whey and skim milk, with some ground peas, barley and pats, will make n good breed of pigs grow finely; good we)l-fiittened pork nml lard sell well In California, al so butter and cheese. It is a pity that California should import so much pork, lard butter and cheese from Chicago, when they can be produced so much better and cheaper here nnd thus give you a good market for your products. It will cost you but six dollars a ton to ship by wnter from Salem to San Francisco and get her gold In return. Your wheat is worth $1,50 par bushel to make hams, bacon, sausage nnd lard for the San, Francisco market. Barley, oats and peas, will pay you equally well, providing, you. keep ,your pigs thriving and ' fattening until! killing time say fifteen to eighteen months old but you will find small profit In fattening pigs that are poor and weak from previous starvation. You have good timber In abundance, to make all your farming Implements. Why drain your State of money to buy those of Eastern manufacture? On the contrary encourage your home manufactures until they get establish ed and you can furnish California with farm implements, as she must buy those made elsewhere or import her timber. Observe the rules of Poor Richard and you will soon have good markets and plenty of cash for business purpos es. Perhaps I have spoken too plain ly; If so, my only excuse is that I have fallen In love with the couunry and the people, so far us I have become acquainted. I have not seen a ' lean and hnngry looking Cassius " that I would not dare to trus;t. since I have been here. You have good schools and churches, and Utile dissipation. Every body looks pleasant antl friend ly; my only desire is to contribute my mite towards the agricultural prosper ity of Oregon. Mixhaxic. Value ol Brush lands. There is a great deal of land in this vnlloy that has of lato grown up to oak grubs and hazel and is considered of littlo value, We have a report from Mr. Delos Jofl'erson, who lives four miles from town, northeast, that goes to show that it will pay well to clear such land to sow in wheat. He em ployed Chinese labor early last spring and cleared soven acres at a cost of $-2.50 per acre, which he thoroughly plowed twice and then sowed in wheat, which has lately boon harvest and yielded from thirty-eight to forty bushels per acre. He can calculate on receiving forty dollars, per acre, for the product, we think, and that sum will considerably moio than repay all tho expense of grubbing, plowing, seed, and harvesting, more thau leav ing tho increased valuoAf tho land as a profit for the year's wnlrk! Experience also proves that grub land when clear ed anil cultivated is tho very best we liao in Oregon. Wins Dams to be Made, Wo are very much rejoiced to read In the Oregonian that General Mlchler has finally awarded the contract for construdtlon of wing dams on the Up ber Willamette rapids to tho Messrs. I'aiiuet, of Canemah, and that by the contract terms the work ,ls to com mence by the 15th instant. . There is still time for a great deal of work to be done this fall and if tho contractors set about it in a lively manner we shall see great improvement made. The contractors are men of substantial char acter und pushing enterprise, nnd we are pleased to know that the work Is eon tided to such eiHclent hands. Xortu West Shipping, Ac, Conipauj.
