These exhibits were a source of constant surprise to every visitor; the flowers are rare and beautiful specimens, a grand century plant looming up in the midst which we all hope to live long enough to see in blossom this will be only 99 years hence.- The fruits are specimens of nearly every variety known to the Pacific Northwest, and are from every section of the county. A feast for the eyes and a grand showing of the magnificent resources of our great county, all gathered from tree and vine in an ordinary season. This will be double discounted another year. IS Judge Lowell, Returning Home, Says Affair Was Highly Pleasing. rendleton E. O., Sept. 29. Judge Stephen A. Lowell, who was in attendance upon the Mor row County Fair last week at Heppner, returned home last evening with commendation of the complete success of the first effort of our sister county in hold ing an agricultural fair. Already organization is being effected for a more complete exhibit next year, and for insuring the per manency of the institution. Morrow county has been look ed upon as distinctively a wool growing county, but Mr. Lowell reports agricultural and horti cultural exhibits to equal those of any fair in the many he has at tended. The progressive men and women there are beginning to realize that their soil will pro duce all the productions' of the temperate zone, and they are dis couraging bonanza farming and encouraging the idea of intensive farming. The great work of the Minor Brothers in the breeding of fine cattle has been a revelation to hosts of people, while the display of other farm animals was most creditable. Next year they pro pose to have a splendid horse show in connection with the fair. The country roads are in terrible condition because of the long drought, but the country people were out in force nevertheless, and Heppner was crowded with visitors. Judge Lowell thinks that next year Pendleton should honor her neighboring city with a special train, and the presence of large numbers of her citizens, pointing out that Umatilla county is in the same legislative district, and ought to maintain close relations. Why We Need Alfalfa. There is no combination of feeds so economical for the pro duction of beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and al falfa. Neither will give the best results alone. We need alfalfa because it balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn is fed alone. We need alfalfa because we can by means of it grow on our farms the protein more profitably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because it feeds the soil and enables us to grow larg er crops of corn, wheat and oats. We need alfalfa because it pro duces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other lorage crop. .Prof. Holden.
