leaner, but a lifter. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in her poem entitled, "Which 

 Are You?" so beautifully describes this thought: 



There are two kinds of people on earth to-day. 



Just two kinds of people, no more, I say. 

 Yes, the two kinds of people on earth I mean 



Are the people who lift, and the people who lean. 



Wherever you go you will find the world's masses 

 Are always divided in just these two classes. 



And oddly enough you will find, too, I ween. 

 There is only one lifter to twenty who lean. 



In which class are you, are you easing the load 

 Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road? 



Or, are you a leaner who lets others bear 

 Your portion of labor and worry and care? 



THE GRAPE IN OREGON. 



By J. F. Broetje, of Milwaukie, Oregon. 



A paper read at the annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticul- 

 tural Society, held at Portland, January 9 and 10, 1906. 



About twenty or twenty-five years ago there were very few Oregon- 

 grown grapes on the Portland market and they were of a poor quality. 

 When I came here about twenty-four years ago, I went to different nur- 

 serymen to inquire about the growing of grapes in Oregon. I was told 

 that there was nothing in it, the climate was not suitable for the grape 

 and it was no use to try. But I did try, and the result was satisfactory. 

 We succeeded in raising fine, big bunches of Concord grapes, sweet and 

 of the fine flavor natural to our native kinds. I remember once, having 

 a talk with some ladies of Portland about our grapes. One of them 

 said: "The California grapes are sweet, but nothing but sweet; they 

 have no flavor." Some years ago, a prominent family in Portland had 

 some visitors from the East. One day, when eating some fine Concord 

 grapes, a gentleman from the East said: "Is it not a pity that you 

 can't grow such delicious grapes here in Oregon?" "Why," the hostess 

 replied, "these are Oregon grapes; they were I'aised here near Port- 

 land." But he would not believe it. Then the lady replied: "We will 

 take you to the place where these grapes come from." And she did. Until 

 a few years ago every fall a carload or more of Concord grapes was 

 brought here from the East, but this has ceased. We grow enough good 

 grapes here to supply the market. 



THE KINDS OF GRAPES WE GROW HERE. 



In California and in some parts of this State the Eui-opean or foreign 

 varieties of grapes are grown, and where they do well, they may be
