While Hurney county makes
no claim toward being a fruit
section, nevertheless the fruit
now being marketed here from
the home orchards is equal in
quality and quantity to any ever
brought here from other sections.
The apples from the Geer, Mc
Kinnon, and other orchards are
the wonder of those who are not
familiar with the products of
this section. The other day K.
C. Eggleston showed the writer
some Yellow Transparents from
the orchard on the Huston place
just west of Hums that were as
near perfection as are grown.
This variety is one of the most
prolific grown here and never
fails. It is not a kecjier, how
ever, and therefore must be
harvested and used early. The
later varieties do well and laBt
winter the writer and many
other residents in Hums used
only home produced fruit the
entire winter.
The small fruits are most pro
ductive and no where is the crop
better or heavier. This is a
natural strawberry ceuntry:
gooseberries, currants, raspber
ries, etc., yield most extraordin
ary. All these crous require in
this country is ordinary care to
yield a big profit to the grower.
The fruit industry should be
given more attention by the
farmer and while it may never
be of commercial value for ship
ment, we should supply the home
market. Kvory farmer can raise
all the fruit he desires for the
home and in some protected
places large commercial orchards
will pay big returns. This has
been demonstrated and we should
not lose sight of its importance
toward the development of our
big country.
To the Boyt and Girls.
The earlier school fairs are al
ready being held and at the end
of another month most of them
will be a matter of history.
Every one connected with the
work is anxious that that history
read satisfactorily. This is about
the last opportunity we shall
have to call your attention to
your exhibits lor most oi your
work has already been done.
Just a few words about exhib
iting. As we have often said,
the intrinsic value of the prize
you are competing for is of little
importance compared with the
habits of industry you are form
ing, and the experience you are
gaining in learning now to uo
some practical thing well. If
you borrow something to show,
or take something to the fair you
have not raised or made, you
will fail to get the value out of
it that you should. Now, do not
understand me to say that you
.should not take anything to the
fair that is not entirely the pro
duct of your own effort. Some
of the fairs, especially those that
were arranged for late in the
season, do not require you to do
all the work. Where this is the
case 1 would urge you to take
everything you can, under the
rules, that will make a good show
ing. Take pride in assisting to
make your fair a success. But
where the rules require that you
do all the work yourself, as they
do at the State fair, do not try to
evade them. We might deceive
every one out ourselves, out. u
clean conscience is worth every
thing. If we never do the first
little dishonest trick, ve will
avoid a lot of trouble in this life.
This is on the same principle ius
never taking the first drink to
avoid being a drundard. It is
a safe rule.
Do not overlook the county and
district prizes at the state fair.
It is a fine thing to cultivate
local pride and patriotism. Team
work aids in developing this
spirit, so join with your fellows
and do your part to help your
district and your county to have
the banner exhibit. Co-opera
tion is becoming more essential
every day a-id you cannot begin
too early in life to practice it.
Wishing you all success, and
hoping to meet a great many of
you at the fair, I remain,
Yours for better boys and girls,

APPROVES OF FENCING

County Commissioner Bain Gives His
Views on Fighting the Pests That
Are Causing Farmers of Harney
County Enormous Loss Each Year.
Reasons for Preferring the Fencing
Taking up the question of the
people fencing against the rab
bits as advanced by Mrs. Wm.
Gray, I think the proposition a
very good one, for these reasens:
If the county will furnish the
wire to the people to fence
against these "pests" called the
Hut I will try and explain mat
ters a little more clearly. If you
will stop and study for a minute,
you can see why the clerk of this
county, was compelled to issue
the warrant by this court

this county, represents, that the

It seems to me that it would be, Mr. Hanley could not put up

there are about 450 different

side the extra labor in preparing
the land in small quantities at a

Mr. Leedy has been traveling
about among the co-operators
and Sub-Station men of late ad
vising with them and studying
with growing ' the conditions at various points
over the county. It was the ori
ginal plan that one man should
be kept on the road all the time
so that the work of the Kxperi
ment Station could be taken to
the people, thus, not only adapt
ing the work to the needs of the
people, but also supplying those
needs. However, those in charge
of the work have seemed to think
it prudent to withdraw from this
work for the time being and Mr.
Leedy will return to the high
school work which he started
last year. This, of course will
make it impossible to carry out
the program of extension work
among the farmers as originally
outlined.
