After the Oregon State Fair is over
the cream of the fruit and vegetable and
grain exhibits will be sent to the Worlds
Fair, where they will be exhibited in the
Oregon departments to which they prop
crly belong. The State Agricultural
College has donated its magnificent ex-
hibit of potatoes, grains, grasses and
vegetables, and the State Board will send
its special exhibits of grasses, grains,
fruits and vegetables. These will go far
toward attracting yet greater notice to
Oregon.
At the Worlds Fair the Committee on
Nomenclature alter some of the names
of Oregon fruits shipped for exhibition,
but they unanimously agree that the
color, flavor, texture and general excel
lence of the fruit are remarkable and
unsurpassed. The fruits have all been
labeled with the names of the growers
who produced them, and they derive all
the benefit arising from the publicity
given. The managers of the Oregon ex-
hibits are using their very best endeav-
ors to place exhibits in such o position
as to catch the eyes of the capitalists
and those who are seeking homes. 1t is
surprising to note the great number of
people who are so much interested, and
who want all the literature they can pro-
cure on the subject. The exhibits will
be the means of inducing many of the
best class of homeseekers to locate in
Oregon during the next five years, and
will bring unlimited capital.
