- Mr. Taylor, is' of the opinion, basing
i his experience ' with expositions .dating
back- to 1900, that the Marion county
"exhibit if fruit would stand a fine
chance of carrying off the first prize
anywhere, In the whole United States.
Henry - Supginficld, who lives near

Alfred Taylor, of Central Howell, is
exhibiting white spring oats that ran
110 bushels to the acre, machine meas

a bushels, the average farmer can figure
but whether Mr. Taylor has any spnro
change.
"Bud" Dcrsert, of Howell Prairie,
lies offered for the Marion eounty ex
hibit sample of Oregon white wheat that
ran 56 bushels to the acre, machine
measure. This is the wheat brought to
Oregon by the missionaries along In
1836 and 1838 and while other kinds are
being tried, Mr. Dersert sticks to the old
standly.
Albert Leischty, living in the Pratun
neighborhood, has on display samp.es t
White Eaton wheat that run 46 bushels
to the acre, machine measure. This was
rinsed on stubble land and Mr. Tayloi
says the average farmer knows what
that n ftus.

contributed to . the Marion county dis

has an offering of Hinncy wheat thnt

" Marion county does not compote with
other counties Mr! Taylor said, for the
rer.son.that having taken the prizes set
oral years ago, it was thought Only a
matter of courtesy to leave the field
open to the counties that make speeiai
efforts to ship their products to the
state 'fait1. - ; .
And just as a matter of courtesy to
the Marion county exhibit, he suggests
that on Salem day, Wednesday, the Sa

adding a little artistic touch; It all
helps.
