sonal interest and creating a liner sense 

 of duty and responsibility in every sin- 

 gle member of the board, to create a 

 friendly spirit of competition between 

 them and bring about the best results 

 possible with the highest standard of 

 cfllciency consistent witli economy. 



Under this arrangement it fell to the 

 lot of J. E. I^evnolds, the new member 



of the board from L'nion County, to be 

 assigned to tbe agricidtural and horti- 

 cultural deijartments, two of the most 

 important responsibilities involved in a 

 big institution of the chaiacter which 

 the new board is promoting. It is tlie 

 duty of these departmental heads to 

 loolv after the details of space allotment 

 and arrangement and to lend every en- 

 couragement toward securing a thor- 

 oughly representative exhibit in their 

 respective departments, and each and 

 every one of them is taking hold and 

 making such splendid progress that it 

 w'ill tax the available space to the 

 utmost to accommodate the exhibits 

 already secured and in prospect. 



This is especially true in the agricul- 

 tural and horticultural departments, 

 which, under the most active and elli- 

 cient direction of Mr. Reynolds, are 

 already assuming record-breaking pro- 

 l)oitions. He is making a most thor- 

 ough canvass of every section and com- 

 munity of the state, to arouse interest 

 in the different comi)etitive exhibits, 

 particularly in the county and individ- 

 ual products' exhibits, and he reports 

 splendid success. Already eighteen of 

 the thirty-live counties of the state have 

 decided to make county exhibits in the 

 new pavilion, a greater number than 

 has ever before exhibited at one time, 

 and several others still have the matter 

 under favorable consideration. 



In the horticultural department there 

 will be the largest, most elaborate and 

 thoroughly rejnesentative exhibit of 

 fruits ever brought together under one 

 roof in Oregon since the Lewis & Clark 

 Elxposition. Every growers' and pack- 

 ers' association in the Willamette, 

 Rogue, Cmpqua, .John Day, North Pow- 

 der and Hood River Valleys, and other 

 fruit glowing sections of the state, have 

 either made arrangements for space and 

 are preparing their exhibits or are mak- 

 ing arrangcmnets to do so, and there 

 are scores of individual growers who 

 have signilied their intention of enter- 

 ing the individual farm products com- 

 ])etition, 



"The State Fair, properly organized 

 and conducted, is the best educative 

 agency in existence and it should have 

 the undivided and uni)re,judiced support 

 and co-operation of every citizen of the 

 state," said Secretary-Manager A. H. 

 Ix'a at a recent meeting of the board of 

 directors. "Every county in the state 

 should consider itself in duty bound to 

 other portions of the state and to pos- 

 terity to make a com|)lete exhibit of its 

 resources and ])roducts at the .State 

 l-'air, not only from an educational 

 but fi'oni an advertising standjjoint. 

 Every exhibit sent to the State Fair, 

 whether animal, vegetable or loaf of 

 bread, should carry its lesson in thrift 

 and ijrogress, and every person who at- 

 tends the Fair should come with the 

 expectation of being benefdted from 

 both a moral and educational vicwiioint. 

 It is decidedly a state institution and 

 every loyal citizen should put his 

 .shoulder to the wheel and boost for it."
