But there 1« another year ahead May we not profit bv our own ex periences during the past year? May we not correct many miatake» we haAr'.aakc?

In some of the states where con- victa are employed in the production of lime and cement, these valuable commodities are furnished at one dollar or leas prr ton.

They can thus increase the productivity of our farms without materially increasing the capital employed. No measure will be brought forward for legisla tive action al the coming session, which ia of more vital interest to the farmers of Oregon than this. No measure will go farther in the solution of the high tax muddle than thia, because it will enable the farmer and other business depend ing upon hi» prosperity, to pay the tax gatherer the annual du«*s with out serious difficulty ami with less grumbling. mab« the necessary repairs preps ra- u>ry giving fairs in th«* future, Many of UM have gnrOt no.
