ducts iuiil farm macliinery. The Wil- 

 lamette Valley being the oldest fruit 

 section of the Northwest also means 

 that the fiiiit displays are not only very 

 attractive, l)ut hi,ghly educational. The 

 pavilion for exhibition purjioscs is very 

 large, situated in a beautiful grove. 

 The grove is a big attraction, providing 

 camping grounds for families who de- 

 sire to bring their tents and camp out 

 during the fair. This fair is entitled to 

 the support of the farmers and fruit 

 growei's of the State of Oregon. They 

 should show their encouragement by 

 making exhibits, if possible, and noth- 

 ing but sickness on the part of any 

 farmer or fruit grower should be sulTi- 

 cient excuse for not attending. The 

 railroads will make very low rates on 

 return tickets. 



The Xorttiwest Land Products Expo- 

 sition. — Seattle, always an enterprising 

 city, when the Alaska business was 

 being developed held a wonderful ex- 

 position known as the Alaska-Yukon- 

 Pacific Exposition, and now, in realiza- 

 tion of the fact that the Northwest is 

 dependent primarily and largely upon 

 its land products, will hold a show to be 

 known as the Northwest Land Products 

 Exposition, in Seattle October 4 to 14. 

 This exposition is entitled to the sup- 

 port of all of our farming sections in 

 the way of exhibits. Every fruit grower 

 and farmer who can exhibit should do 

 so, and no one should fail to attend. 

 The show will contain many exhibits 

 which will be instructive, educational 

 and well worth seeing. The Northwest 

 Land Products Exposition is entitled to 

 the fullest support of all the business 

 interests, because the business interests 

 are dependent in a large measure, in 

 the Northwest, on land products. 



The Northwestern Fruit Exchange, 



under date of August 21, states that, 

 largely through their efforts, Mr. Rob- 

 inson, trafhc manager of the North- 

 western Fruit Exchange, has been 

 working earnestly with the railroad 

 officials for securing ffie ])rivilege of 

 "Diversion of Fruit Shipments After 

 Arrival at Destination," and are pleased 

 to announce that Mr. F. L. Norman, 

 general agent of the Grand Trunk 

 Railway at Scatlle, has advised them 

 that on his line this wiif be ctrecfive in 

 the near future. The Northwestern 

 Fruit Exchange states that much credit 

 is due Captain Paul H. Wcyraucli of the 

 Fruit (irowers Agency for co-operation 

 along this line. 



The Round-up. — Pendleton will hold 

 its annual Round-up September 21 to 23. 

 This show is one of the most novel, 

 interesting and lively of any of its kind 

 that has been hefd anywhere in the 

 world. l']veryone who has ever attended 

 one of these Round-up sfiows has come 

 back full of enthusiasm, stating it is the 

 most wonderful ffiing they have seen. 

 Every fruit grower and farmer who is 

 going to take a few days olf this year, 

 if he likes fun ;uid good sport, shoufd 

 attend Hie Pendleton Round-u|>. ft wilt 

 be a thriller.
