HOW ABOUT IT.
How abont those exhibits for the Morrow-Umatilla
fair? It is full time they
were being gathered together and put io
shape for shipment. Morrow county
cn make as good a showing along all
fines this year as ever, and in some
"respects a better ooe. It has been
stated to this paper that there is some
considerable expense in getting the
exhibits together ; that it costs money
to go oyer the county and gather up the
fruits, grams and vegetables and piepare
them for shipment, pay the frieght and
look after some necessary expenses after
the stuff reaches Pendleton. Heretofore
the county court has cheerfully donated
for this purpose the sum of 8-50 out of
the general funds of the county, but for
reasons best known to themselves, they
reftipe so far to do so this year. This
is certainly poor policy, for of ali sea
sons, this particular one should not be
passed up without our county being rep
resented at the District Fair with the
very best exhibits that can be got to
gether. The court should nut hesitate a
minute in making the necessary appro
bation because this is a matter the
entire county is interested in. We must
enow the people on the outside that we
are still on the man; that we are still
jaising the champion grains, fruits and
vegetables, and can walk o!f with the
first prizes in all these lines. We will
)ia.v9 some exhibits there, to be sure,
but these w ill be largely those of a pri
vate nature by parties interested in
rais'ng poultry and livestock, but these
individuals cannot afford to take the
whiltt natter on their shoulders and
foot the expense.
Strong oressu-e should be brought to
lea' upon the ecu t to make this appro
lrlatijn. This county must keep up its
interest ii this fair or be counted out,
and the matter if a few dollars should
riot stand in the way ot the court doing
what is right in this proposition. Kvery
citizen of the county is interested direct
ly or indirectly, so let us have it.
Keep Morrow County on the map and
how the people abroad, that tho we
might have bad hard year in 'some
respects, yet we have cot suffered along
all lines and can average up veil with
cur neighbors.

"Give your main energies to the ad
vancement of the agricultural interests
and your cities will take care of them
selves."
Such was a trenchant epigram io th
speech of James J. Hill at Astoria. No
sterner truth was ever spoken.
The cities are drawing the best brain
and the best blood from the farm. This
recruitment from the farm is' a force
that is driving the cities forward with
a tremendous development, and all at a
huge cost to the country.
A way to build up Portland, Salem
Eugene, Medford, Baker, Pendleton
and the other cities is to strengthen the
productive power of the Oregon gTonnd
et we have been plundering the soi.
instead of preserving it.
A small area of bops is yielding the
state $6,000,000 this yearand the ulti
mate figures may be much greater. A
tiny acreage of orchards at Hood River
yielded $600,000 last year. In other
lines, the ground is giving us huge totals
of agricultural wealth. It is all a force
that contributes to the building of cities.
We penetrate the wilderness and the
most distant zones in quest of mines.
We rummage the earth in search of
mineral deposits. But the soil is at our
doors with its ore bodies of agricultaral
wealth that never exhaoet and its veins
of stored riches tnat faithfully yield year
in and year out.
For years, we have been robbing the
soil, and it is the soil that gives us 40
per cent of the raw material for our
manufactured products. It is the main
stay of our national life. If we give
our main energies to the advancement
of our agricultural interests, our cities
will take care of themselves. Journal.
Oo reliable information The Irrigator
can now feel safe in predicting that the
government will soon begin work on the
West Umatilla irrigation project. What
tbat will mean to Irrigon only we who
have waited for it so long can appreciate.
The day that work is actually started
will be the turning point in Irrigon's
history. When the whole country
round here is dotted with farms, as it
will be, we will have a more prosperous
town than even the promoters of Irrigon
ever dreamed of. Surely we have wait
ed long enough for a change to be able to
appreciate it. Irrigon Irrigator.
I.A'VD t OK SCHOOL.
The New York Independent gives
high praise to "a littb town in the state
of Washington" that proposes to buy
ten acres for the high school, and to
turn five acres into an ex erimental
tract for illustration of lessons in agri
culture and the other five into an Ath
letic field.
i ne paper urees tnat athletics are
now universally recognized as part of a
modern educational course, that there
fore they shonld be formally adopted in
the high school curriculum. Further,
that where instruction in agriculture is
given that teaching should not be con
fined to the school room, but carried
out on the land in practical form.
It may "be argued that teaching in the
mechanical course ia illustrated with
tools, wood and iron in actual handi
work, then agricultural instruction
should also be made practical. If the
Agricultural college carries this idea out
oo large seals, high school students
might be started on the tame lints.

The trees have to b prepared care
fully for this use. The larxe branches
are first cut off near th trunk. If this

cut in the trunk, generally just above

for the man who is filling the tree, and
the Interior is hollowed out Round
the bottom of the tree- a shallow basin
some twenty or thirty feet in diameter
is made, in which the rainwater col
lects. As soon as there is-a storm the
people go out and fill, their trees. The
water so stored remains perfectly good
until the end of the oest hot weather
or even longer. A few trees, naturally
hollow, have a hole at the top between
the branches and fill themselves, the
branches catching the water and act
ing as gutters. These are called "la-
gai." and are highly valued.
The system give a cistern twenty
feet high and from, eight to ten feet or
even more In diameter. Owing to the
labor involved In preparing and filling
the trees water is usually bought and
sold, and on the main roads where
