Smith, the wide awake editor of our horticultural department, has suggested that the orvhardists and fanners of eastern Multnomah and northern Clackamas counties hold an an nual fruit fair and carnival at Gresham, offering to head the list of subscriptions toward a prize fund for the encourage ment of growing better fruit in the district mentioned. This is certainly a move in the right direction, for we believe, with many others, that as good fruit can be grown in this vicin ity as any place under the sun. In fact, the truth of this state ment has already been proven in Hood River. Mosier and White Salmon, and similar fruit from east and west of the Sandy, in Clackamas and several orchards in eastern Multnomah. We defy the world to produce a cleaner, more perfect, or bet ter tasted apple than some of the samples left on the editor’s desk. Conditions, of course, can be bettered. A more thor ough system of spraying, prun ing and cultivation should be adopted and the business men of the country should do all pos sible to assist in the chance, and at the same time encourage the movement for an annual fruit fair. As also suggested by Mr. Smith this properly comes under tne head of Grange work, and we hope to hear of its discussion at the next meeting of the Po mona Grange. Let every farm er help this good work along, Commencing with the first Monday in December many Last Saturday the writer en towns and cities in Oregon will joyed a very pleasant visit with hold municipal elections.
