THE BTATE FAIR.
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.
