It has again been reported from Cor vallis that President Gatch, of tne Ore gon Agricultural College, will retire a tne close of the present codee year.

Tne Board of Regents in select ing a new president, should keep in mind the fact that they are placing a man at the head of an agricultural college. There are available man wtio have been eJucateJ in agricultural colleges and whose educational work has been done at .agricultural colleges. Tuere is, there fore, no excuse for selecting a maa for president of the i.ollega at Corvallis whose education and life work have been of tbe old classical kind. Oregon Agri culturist, Editorial. Thera seems to be a very strong senti ment growing up in Oregon in favor of holding the State Fair a month later than it is now held. It has been held for a number of years at a ante when it is practically impossible for the progressive farmers of Western Oregon te atteni. It is possible that there will be a little more (.'anger of rain at the middle of October than at the middle of September, bnt Oregon is growing fast in population and wealth, and if tbe fair is held at a time when the farmers generally can at tend it will not ba difficult to secure an appropriation for building a good system of stock barns connected with each other and with the general exhibit buildings by covered walks. If this were done it would enable successful fairs to be held, rain or no rain. Ex. An interesting and instructive bulletin on walnut culture in Oregon has jnst been issued by Prof. O. I.
