Tliu tim- for lioliling tlio annual Fair of the Stale AKriciiltur.il Society in close at hand, anil wo feel like saying a good w,m' '"r th society, which for twenty yearn had hehl an ltiiottiiit placu in connection with the pro duct anil industries of our .State, rcprcient ingiup.itticiil.irtho capabilities and nipiiiu meats of Oregon ngricul two. IVo ilepiccntu the lioliling of it annual fail in the hottest Summer month, ami ii-cognhN the greater ad vantages to result from eiling thtin in the early lull, when tho wtt', fruit ami vege table have all ripencf, and tho substantial prwhiet of tho yor,fcan lie fully reprcs'-ntcd, bat an hoth tho Provident atnl.Sccretary of the society showed, M our last issue, tho change fauiaoti I notftitomlcil to continuo to other year, anil w only adopted last year and tliis, because for successive season! continued rains had rvxurre I at tho timo fairs wire held, antlaaf coniUcnco of diminished receipt tho aiciety hecamu so much in deht as to rri alarm in tho minds of its memliern, who hahecomu imlividually responsible for it labilities Last year's experiment iciulted inn handsome piotlt and coiiscijuciit mliio tion of the deht, and the aanio auccisa this year will place its lluancca in a safe condition, and result in return to the holding of tliu fair in tho Tall in 18V.!. Many who attend never think of making any display, while nine at any farmer in this valley, or elsewhere, ought to he aide to show something possessing excellence and deserving of a premium. There is too little enti'i prise ui tills diii'O'.iou. Tliu work of inikingii good nxhihit n left to n few ersons, wheirus there slumfd Imj lively cumpttition In all hrauches nf stock-raising and farm production, ai well a in wnatever wu can manufacture. To maku Uiu fair what it can he, and ought to he, it should show the product and resource of all puts, and thu H-oplii themselves should attend it, and derivo all posaihlo information by so doing as well as lw interested and auiusetl. Tlio .State Kaira of the past have dono much to educate our people, as Hell as to mako tho product of our Statu known. Tin re it no reason why tho existence of the Xoeiety should lw a matter of douht. The MHipln of this alley have an esiecial interest in it, and Salem is central to all the valh-y. People from Kat of thu Mountains, unfortu nately, do not attend freely, Mid in .timai may look for good exhibit to ho mado at the fairs nrgmircd to lo bald tliern. Thu forma, tion of our State will always prevent any sue. ccsiful attendance of all farmer and their limit,'.. at any nun place, hut the duty of tho St-tto AgricuHuial Society I to encourage din play nf product fiom uvery aectlou, and een to oiler prvmiuma especially calculated to maw oiii such an oxuiuii, ny creating a class f premium for product of every section. A it I now, thu FuiratSilem will draw nuuy cmu.il visitor from abroad, fiom l'oit I nd and from Hut of tho Mountains and Southern Oregon, hut tho main attendance will come from the counties of tho Willamette Valley. To these, therefore, we look for a good display and an utteudauco that shall allow popular interest in maintaining the so-tuoty. THE TOHKAOE QUESTION. Wo lately reviewed tho prospect for future supply and demand lor ships and showed that If California has only ha'f Hio surplus in I83I alio hail In I8H0, there would still ho demand for shlpi to cairy nway over fifty million hushcls nf wheat from California and the Columhi.i river, hut since then rains hivo Cm provtd the prospe ts of the Into gown wheat thcro nnd here and wo have every reason to hclievo tlio shipping demand will ho for even more, and coitalnly not for less. Wu ire in formed that exHjrtors hero aro taking up all shipping to arrio previous to December 1S8I at 70s to 7-1 Dd per ton to the United King dom, which show that exporters consider the game certain and pnpoio to maki freights pay them .1 prolit as heforc. We havo no patience with any complaints mvlo against the acti n of speculator who ohartir shipping to arrive. Some year it pay and somo year it does not. I'liedlauder, thu uraiu king of California, was hiuk'uptcd hy it, and wo a'l know that some years say in, I NTS freight were to low that ship owners lost. Now mo see shipping all over tho uoi Id in active demand at good pi Ices, and tho ahipmtuU from this coast almost douhled, so that wo can understand that w a aro tho victims of circumstances, and if the man who see ahead far enough toch.utcr shlpi six mouths in advance can mako any thing of it why all thcro it of it is that w 8 must stand It, Wo may as well pay ono man a another, ami if tlio ilein.mil is great tonnagu must rise in prico to cirruspond) alio, tho man who charter ship i tocomo hero add to the certainty that ahijn will ho hero when wo need them. At tho timo of the wheat-growers meeting In Salem, in March, wu procured for thPir consideration, through (ieo. Marshall & Co, relialde Information of thu price at which Idji could then he chartered as follow i For ispc, im on Jiny ami aurust, ,m j .Sep. temlier, (l lid per ton, Freight now aio ten to twelve ahilliugi higher than those figures, and will he at least that much higher tho halanco of the year than the figure given, and the fact remains that thu farmers were well informed and fully discussed tho matter in a meeting apiointcd for that es pecial purpose, and with knowledge, of tho exact situation refused to adopt and carry out anv plan for their own relief, ami drlllx-ratcl)' went home, to let events take their own course. They knew then that tho I'acillo coast surplus for ISHI, including the amount held over, would ho immense, and could seo that unless tonnage wo engaged hy them in advance speculators would engago it and make them pay a hig Ikiimis. Our only hopo for improvement in piicea of wheat then, must ho in a shortage of crop and cousupicnt improvement in prico thu world over. It looks ai If P.n!;1iml wnul I havo n poor crop, and through Kumpo tho prospects aro nut Maturing, whllu in some of the great est wne it-grow lug states of America tho wheat crops promise poor returns. The last wheat ci op aeemi A have hocnovertisttmatcit, and that will ro.ict',ic3im on tho foreign iimr ko'. All thing considered, w'o may hopo fn wuiio improvement in prices, deipiln high freight, hut if wheat-grower refuse to engage tonnagu themselves, when opportunity ntler. they need not complain Wan no far-sighted men charter ship to arrive nnd charge them a profit on tho transaction, tlioimh it is rather uncnmlortahlo to aeo production underpaid on tliat account. lUci Postponed.

K. K. llylieu wa elected Secretary of the Aiiociation. Tills announcement will gratify tho friendi of tho Stitu Ageicu'tiiral Society, and shows that thcro is no intention to inter fere with tho success of tho State Fair.
