PEOPLE URGED TO
PREPARE FOR FAIR
The Morrow County Fair this
year will be the best ever held
if the people will do their part.
We must have your cooperation
to the fullest extent to make the
fair what it should be. The fair
board can assure the people that
the amusements will be up-to-date
and firs class, but we can
not insure the exhibits without
the cooperation of all the people
of Morrow county. Now is the
time to plan what you are going
to have in the way of vegetables
and other agricultural products.
The Chas. H. Lilly company of
Seattle offer a special cash prize
of ?10 for the best exhibit of
farm and garden products rais
ed from Lilly's seeds. This' is
worth working for. The board
will give a number of special
prizes this season for the best
exhibit of potatoes and onions.
These prizes wPl be awarded
strictly from their adapability
to the soils of Morrow county.
A written statemeut must ac
company each exhibit showing
when they were planted, when
dug. estimated yield per acre,
are they good keepers, and all
WILLOW CREEK ITEMS )
other information that will be
of value to prospective growers
of these varieties. We are go
ing to specialize this year on
those vegetables that wo cau
grow to perfection in this county
but of which we are shipping in
car loads each year and paying
two prices for. Morrow county
can produce all the vegetables it
uses and more if tho people will
take the trouble to plant and
care for them while they are
growing. Wo all squeal about
the high cost of living but do
not try very hard to tind out
why the cost is so high or what
we could do to lower tho cost
No country in tho world can
raise better potatoes, onions,
cabbage, carrots, beets and other
vegetables of this kind than can
Morrow county, yet each year
we pay thousands of dollars in
freight to the railroad and ex
press companies and many
thousands more to growers in
other parts of the country foi
stuff that we can grow at, home,
getting it fresh from the farms.
Whose fault is it? Can the fault !
bo overcome? If so, how? For i
the best answer to the above .
questions the board will pay u ;
t,peciul cash prize of .) all artl
cles to bo iu the hands of the
board not latc'r titan Sept. 12th,
Do you know of anything that in
your opinion would help make
the fair bettor, more instructive
and of more value to the people?
Jacob Dexter has percuased a
new automobile. Jake being of
steady nerve will not attempt
such things as telephone poles,
steep embaukmeuts or bottom
less pits, but will keep right in
the main part of tho road.
A traveler who travels on the
Willow creek road is soon intro
duced to chuck holes, mud holes,
rocks, quick-up hills, short down
hills, sideliugs, level places,
rough places, short turns, soft
bumps, hard bumps, in fact
every thing a bad road could
subject him too. The people out
the Willow creek way feel that
their road needs a little atten
tion and it is perfectly proper
and fitting that those who have
the matter in charge should try
to turn their attention this way.
Last Monday, April 2, much to
the delight of Mr. uud Mrs.
Norman Florence, Mr. and Mrs.
A. Florence returned home from
Portland where Mr. Florence
underwent a severe operation
and is doing nicely. Unfortu
nately since their arrival Mrs.
Floreueo hua not been woll.
Old maids, grass widows, and
school teachers, Mr. Crosby says,
you are as welcome as the (low
ers in May to lish on his place,
and he says that there is all
kinds of fishing on his estate.
All others beware as Mr. Crosby
sleeps with a gun uuder his
pillow every night, ami has it
ready for action d,uring tho day.
The Legislative Good Roads
Committee has decided to hold a
state-wid-o good roads rally in
Portland, Saturday, April i!8.
Every organization in the state
favorable to the road bond bill
is invited to send representatives
to this gathering, The Committee-
has taken up with various
transportation companies the
matter of securing a special re
duced rate for those attending
the rally. Reports from Astoria
and several points in Eastern
Oregon are to tho effect that the
good roads enthusiasts of those
sections are planning to charter
a boat or special train and come
to Portland in largo numbers,
