A cannery erct'tod at this point will call for a largo amount of fruit and veg etables, and to bo profitably engaged in there nuibt be an unlimited quantity of fruit nnd vegetable giown. .Speaking of vegetables remindH us that thoro in unlimited Inuil niiilalilo for tomato cul tnro along our river bottoms.

Fortunately, perhaps, tho car starts cast with a notable company of distinguished people who return this way from tho Grand Army gathering at San Francisco. It includes the Governors of Ohio, Maino, and Wiscon sin and many others hardly 1cm notable, so they can examine tho enr as they roll eastward. Whilo Prcttymun goes as Superintendent of car and content.", our old friend I). S. K. Uuiek, of Douglas county, is manager and ehiof in com mand, an appointment that is fortunate for tho proper introduction of Oregon intorosts wherever the car may go. Wo havo not time or spaco to givo any des cription of tho exhibit, and need only say it is a fair showing of what Oregon can produce. Various mottops decorato tho exterior, attesting our genial clim ate, immunity from storms, disoasc, drouth nnd failure of crops and ad vantaged of different sections.

Mr. Prottyman will havo chargo of tho ear and its contents and see that ovcrythlni; is kept in good shape for a proper exhibit. agriculturists. Wo must mako stock raising tako a loading part in farming operations and to do this successfully wo must know what grasses to sow and when and how nnd where to sow them. SPRIKH OK FALL BOWINQ OF 0RA31 SEED. CANNING FRUIT. Parties, it is said, talk of putting up a cannery nt Salem for canning fruits and vegetables. Such an onterpriso may find matorinl to work on within reach of this place, but tho present yonr tho fruit crop is nearly n failure. Wliilo thcro aro innumerable orchards, so-called, in this vicinity, thcro arc fow mon who actually cultivato and caro for their fruit trees and havo choice fruit in any markotablo quantity. Tho farmor who has a fruit drier is independent of cir cumstances and now-a-days we read of canning outtilH to cost from ?M up wards. So wo may look for canneries to bo as common as fruit ilriorj in tho near future. Of courso thcro is a groat advantage in an establishment proparcd to work to advantago and to utilizo everything of any value. If such an onterpriso starts hero nnd docs not attempt too much it should rcalizo modcrato success and grow into magnitude. Wo havo not yet tho orchards grown, but many treos aro lately planted and will soon become producers. Fruit growing is something worth attending to and before many years wo shall see, who live, that fruit growing is popular and remunerative. Wo expect to own a tmall canning outfit soon and operate it to somo ex tent in connection with fruit drying, as somo varieties that can woll pay but littlo profit when dried. No doubt others will do tho name. (Jen. 1.0UAN and party passed through our Stato en routo from tho Grand Army Kncampment at San Francisco, to tho Kaat. Ho has leen loyally received and says ho admires our Stato. Ho has given our people a ehauco to hco what kind of n person ho lookH like. Whether ho will bo a candidate for 1'residont or Vico I'rcHldcnt of theso United States wo aro not prepared to ay, but premium ho is not traveling through this territo ry for his health alone. Tin: harvest is about over for 188(5 and tho Jesuit ii fall wheat in this val ley turns oil' a largo yield but spring prnin is not a success. Wo have hoard of somo rust and a general failure to mature woll owing to tho severe drouth, no rain having fallen since tho middle of May, giving us n dry spell of fifteen nocks. Wheat is coining into all the warehouses on liveraud railroad mid clouds of dust fill the air. Whether the quantity of wheat harvested ill oxoecd that of 18S5 wo cannot yet loarn, but ruppoNO it will bo about tho muiio. Whilo some farmers report a small turn off tho common report stems to Ih that the yield has exceeded expectations. A number of instances aro reported where the quantity threshed was twen- t five to sixty per cent, moro than wan (vpeoted. Kast of the mountains the heat yield is lower than in 18S5 as a usual thing. In tho Pulouso region tho harvest is greater than south of Snako river, and west of Umatilla tho drouth has boon severely felt. It is doubtful if tho export from tho Columbia river will come within fifty to one hundred thou rand tons of equalling tho wheat ex ported in 188j. Later reports from foreign markets show a better price and a more aetixo demand for caigoos of American wheat. There luu been an advance of a fow cents but ty remains to bo (con if thisadvaneo isa perman ent faot or only a result of sharp speo illation or is called by reliable f.iiluru of production. i. . i OUE00NS EXHIBIT Thursday last, August 10th, the Slate Hoard of lmmigatiou despatched to tho cast its second exhibit ear, the first was font last fall. Tho Northern Pacific K. H. Co. has furnished a largo sized baggage car that is well filled with Oregon products, and displayed with great tasto by tho activo exertions of Hra. and Mis Hos., and D. 1). Prctty mun and his son. This ear is intended to bo a fair showing of Oregon products nnd not a collection of phenomenal growths. Tho car sent last year was a decided success hut tho present etl'ort ur passes it. Tho collection was made chiotly by 1), I). Prottyman and on and many persons have lent valuable aid by When in Portland lately wo had a long and interesting talk with a gentle man thcro who has becomo interested largely in wild land in Washington coun ty and was studying how to mako it avail able. Ho had slashed three hundred acresintending to burn it last Saturday and had just received a thousand pounds of white clover and orchard grass sood that was to be sown on the slashing when burned. Ho asked: What is tho best time of tho year to sow grass seed? Our reply was. Sow in tho early fall so as to get tho benefit of the first rains on your ashes left on tho slashing. If t'-at should not como up well you will havo to sow again in the spring. To our judgment our friend has done well to select white clover nnd orchard gras. rrouaoiy no two grasses aro moro valuable. Hut thcro aro other good grasses and wo should wish to mix in n littlo mosquito, or velvot grass, and somo blue grass, on such a pasture as wo spoak of. In tho past wo havo writ ten much concerning grasses for wo have always felt that no one matter connected with our agriculture has as much im portance to our producers as to decide what is tho best grass to mako pastures. Wo should like to havo certain questions discussed fully in our column", as fol lows . 1st Is this a good country for perma nent pastures? 'Jd What aro our pasture grasses and what nro their characteristics? In tho nbovo brief interrogatories thoro is room for any amount of argu ment and fact. To answer them well will confer a great favor on all our pro ducers. "For hay wo havo timothy and clover, but timothy forms n bulb at tho surface and if pastured by sheep or swine tboy cat this bulb olV close nnd kill tho plaut whilo heavy stock trample tho life out of it, so that timothy is not well adapted to pasture. A littlo of it may bo put with other grasses, however. Another fault is that timothy drie up after it matures and has no green blades until fall rains come. It makes tho boat of hay and when that is haid all is said. Much may bo said of clover, but it does not thrive generally and that ques tion tested there is no doubt of its value in many respects. Lincoln grass gives a good crop then grows green all sum hut for pasturing, but tho first sharp frost cuts it down and it only comes again Into in the spring. From tho lit tlo wo know of it wo bolieve it very val uable as an early hay eiop and for sum mer pasture. Orchard grass is one of tho best be cause it will grow all summer and win ter, too, makes fairly good hay and takes in well on upland sal. All round our orchard, on high red-hill land, orch ard grass has taken possession and stands very heavy, fully ilvo feet high, among grubs ami on land mat nover was plowed. Whoover will give experience, of grasses on various sous ami ion uieir success with spring and fall sowiug will assist in solving on of tho most 8UIFPINQ UREEN FRUIT. How to ship ripo fruit to best advan tago is n question of no small import ance. Lust year wo conversed with thoso who wore making such shipments about tho feasibility of using flmibir boxes and packing as has becomo gen eral in ubo for shipping eggs, and actu ally thought of trying such egg pack- acos for packing largo plums. It seems that this experiment has been tuccess fully practiced at tho east and tho Cali fornia Alta speaks of it as having solved tho question. It requires no argument to provo that fruit packed in bulk can not as well ripen or keep as woll as if packed Hoparatoly in small compait monts and well ventilated. Tho new packago is mado to perfectly isolato everv noach or near or orange and to provide, thorough vontilation. Fruit so packed can bo left on tho treo until thoroughly ripe and will keop ton or fifteen daye, whereas, as now packed to bo shipped any distance it must bo pickod when somowhat immature, and wrapped in paper and so deprived of fresh air. Tho cost of Mich packages cannot bo very groat if tho empty boxes aro returned for ro-iue. Our country is dostined to grow fruit oxtensively for shipment to distant states and all that relates to this subject is of peculiar in terest to our fruit growers. If wo can ship fruit as easily as wo can grow it wo can build up a trade that will enrich tho Pacific Northwest. i j THE OREO.ON PACIFIC. Last Monday's Oregonian has tho fol lowing concerning this road which is so rapidly growing into popularity : "Wo havo positive assurance, from men who propose to furnish tho money and who are amply aro amply to do it, that tho Oregon Pacitio Kailroad will bo pushed on to nn F.iutern connection as soon as tho lino can bo built. Twenty miles eastward from Albany will lo built this fail, and in thomcantimoa routo on to Hoiso City will bo selected and sur surveyed. Already engineering parties aro in tho field. It is proposed to cross tho Cascade mountains through the pass east of Albany, and penetrate the best sections of middlo Oregon. In tho main tho routo will bo direct, though thoro may bo somo divergences to tako in tho district best calculated to yield bus iness. Wo havo thoso assurances from Col. Hogg, John I. llhiirof Now Jersey, and P. It. Pyno of Now York City. Mr. Ulair is a well known investor Ho is the richest man in New Jersey and many times a millionaire. Mr. Pyno is tho president of tho City Bank in New York and besides his own great wealth is the trustee and manager of tho Moses Taylor estate." Tho Oregon State Fair. Tho annual Stato Fair of the State Agricultural Society will bo hold next month, commencing Monday, Septem ber 1!), and lasting all week. Sinco tho Stato has takeif hold of this onterpriso, and given material aid to secure suc cess, wo nro all interested In tho fair and all sections should rival each other to mako a good exhibit. Two or throo years ago successful exhibits were mado by several counties and they attracted so much and such pleasant altontion that wo hoped to sco many similar dis plays at tho next fair and oven moro ef fort mado to render thorn attractive, but in 18Sf there was no county exhibit wo remember, worthy of tho name. Thoro should bo county societies all through tho State and theso should pro- vido satisfactory exhibits through all I tho Stato for the Salom Fair, so that tho Stato exhibit can compriso a fair showing of all Oregon. If our neighbors across the Columbia wish to tako part wo should bo glad to wclcomo any showing thoy might wish to mako. Whilo wo have experienced a dry summer and crops show its effects somowhat, still it will bo possiblo to collect a lino showing of Oregon products if any ono will tako tho pains to do so. Our stock men re spond moro cheerfully than othors, and tho show of livo animals is generally a crodit to our State. Whilo this is desira bio it is equally desirablo to securo a thoroughly good exposition of all farm products and especially our lino fruits. Cost or Raising Wheat In Custom Oregon Various estimates of tho cost of rais ing a bushel of wheat in tho Walla Walla valley have been given us during tho past two years. Tho estimates rnngo from 25 to -10 conts a bunhel, deponding greatly upon tho avorago yield. Where t thoro has been a yiold of fifty bushels to! tho acre, as was tho caso on tho big Ilia lock farm four years ago, tho actual cost, exclusive of interest on tho invest incut, was, iib wo nro informed, 25 cents a bushel. Others, whoso Holds average thirty bushels, put tho cost at '15 conts, while others whose acres only avcrago twenty to twenty-fivo bushols each, stato tho cost at a higher figure No ex act account of tho cost of plowing, seed ing, cultivation, harvesting nnd thresh ing of tho eamo area for a scries of yoirs has come under our observation, if such an account has over lccn mado. Judg ing by tho reports of thoso who hnvo kept n pretty fair account of the cost of raising wheat on different farms wo con cluded that it amounts to ii5 cents when tho yield averages thirty bushels por acre, and moro per bushel as tho yield decrcasos. This makes it evident that (hero is no money in wheat for tho grower nt present prices. Walla Walla Puion. Local Fair at Newberg Wo aro in receipt of nu invitation to al tend the locnl fair to bo held at Now berg, Yamhill comity, Sopt. 23d to 25th, For several years the farmers in that part of that county havo mado a neighborhood exhibit that has been a great credit ns well as a means of progress. If such fairs could bo held in all parts of Oregon thoy would do much to creatn honora ble enterprise and emulation and add no littlo to tho social advantages of our State. Hut to mako such fairs a success needs united and harmonious nctiou and that cannot always bo found.

Tho great success of tholloyal Making Powder is duo to tho extreme caro exor cised by its manufacturers to mako it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of tho highest leavening power. All tho scientific knowledge, cue and skill at tained by a twenty years' practical ex perience aro contributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical prepara tion can be dispensed with a greater ac curacy, prcoision and exactness. Kvery articlo used is absolutely pure. A num ber of chemists nro employed to test tho strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combina tion with its ccringredionts is definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person is employed in tho pre paration of tho matcuals used or tho manufacture of tho iniwdor, who is not an expert in his particular brunch of tho business. Ah a consequence, tho Koyal Making Powder is of tho highest grado of excellence, always puro, wholesomo and uniform in quality. Each box is exactly like every other, and will retain its powers nnd produce tho eamo and tho highest leavoning effect in any cli mato, at any time. Tho Government Chemists, after having analyzed all tho principal brands in tho market, in their reports placed tho Itoyal llakiug Pow der nt tho head of tho list for strength, purity, and wholcsomencs?, and thou sands of tests all over tho country havo further demonstrated tho fact that its qualities are, in ovory respect, unrivaled.
