Here is the latest version of the
Twenty-third Psalm by J. L. j.. in
the McMinnville Standard:
"The politician is my shepherd !;
l shall not want any good thing
during the campaign.
Gle lcadeth me in the saloon for
my votes sake. He hlleth my
pockets with good cigars; my glass
of beer runneth over.
"He prepareth my ticket in the
presence of my better judgement.
"Yea, though l walk through
the mud and rain to vote for him
and shout myself hoarse when he
is elected straightway he torgetteth
me. Lo, when l meet him IN office
he knoweth me not.
"Surely the wool has been pulled
over mine eyes all the days of mine
life"

For a Fruit Exchange.

Fruit Commissioner Beck informs
The Democrat that a number of
ranchers, particularly fruit growers
Of kittltas county are anxious to
cooperate with growers in this
valley in the formation of a Joint
frait and produce exchange. The
functions of the proposed exchange
would be to handle the entire pro-
duce Gifts members or stockholders
past experience having taught the
growers that the present method of
marketing produce is both waste al
and vexatious BY the exchange
method which has been so success
fully followed in California during
the past few years much better
results have been attained and
fruit growers who were formally
threatened with bankruptcy under
the old system are getting good re-
turns aud are making money under
the new method. The market for
perishable products is naturally
speculative and the only feasible
way in which the grower can guard
himself against possible heavy loss
is to keep thoroughly posted on the
condition of the market. a slight
tax on each grower would enable
them all to know what the condi-
,ions and prospects were in the
different shipping points, enabling
them to refrain from dumping their
produce on Il market where it is
not needed. The idea is capital
one and it is to be hoped that
Yakima growers will take up the
matter with those of Kittitas and
organize the new system which will
be certain if properly carried out
to protect them against repetition
of the heavy losses incurred in the
past.-Yakima Democrat.

Water Congress.

The irrigation congress that has
been in session in Montana and
that is to meet again in Chicago
next year, is just as important as
the National and unirrigated con-
gress. When it gets what it wants,
the desert lands of the west will
disappear, the floods in the Missis.

rain belt will widen.-Brooklyn

Big Turnip.

Joe Hull brought us in a turnjp
that lays it over all 50 far. 1t
measures just fifty inches around
and weighs twentyeight pounds.
Joe knows how to raise big
vegetables-in fact our farmers
that half try always grow the finest
vegetable, fruits and grain that are
grown in the state.

Big Vegetables.

The big potatoes brought brought
In by Asa June and others has been
paced at discount by R. P. Edg-
lngton, who has left one at THE
DAWN office that weighs Just four
pounds. The big turnip brought in
byJ. g. Poland has not been turned
down vet, but John Killmour SAYS
he will bring us one much larger.
A twenty-five pound turnip is
one that will make big mess for
an average hotel, and if Johns farm
will produce still bigger ones, we
shall insist that he "fotchem 'em"
around. Then, those big apples
that Mrs. Frederick left here that
weigh pound and twelve ounces
will make pie enough for a whole
restaurant crew for dinner. Those
big onions, turnips and cabbage,
left with us by B. Hansen would
make a ''hull" barrel of chow chow
good enough for king.
The people of this valley do not
know what fine vegetables they can
grow or can be grown under proper
conditions. They ought to insist
on having a regular agricultural
and horticultural fair next fall and
that is not all, our products should
60 the state fair by all means. The
very idea of allowing a state fair to
be held almost within our door
yard aud 1T a pound of fruit. veg
etables or grain on exhibition, is
ridiculous and a burning shame and
the very thought of it ought to
bring a blush on the face Of the
people. Come boys, wake up, and
let's make a special effort to carry
away at least some of the prizes
next year. Our ranchers are ener-
getic and it is only negligence on
their part that our county has not
had fine exhibit at the state fair
every year.

IS NOT A COMP ARSON.

Rev. S. G. Smith hands us
copy of the Heppner, Ore, Times,
in which we find the following
glowing tribute to what it calls fine
products:
"One does nor need to 20 to
Portland to see magnificent samples
OF what can be raiscI in eastern
Oregon soil. Glance in the show
window of the Times office and see
some vegetable exhibits that can be
beaten nowhere on earth.
Those mammoth rutabaggas were
raised by Mr.. J. J. Adkins on his
Rhea reek ranch, without irrica.
ton, the largest Of which weighs
eight pounds and the other one SIX
pounds. They are perfectly solid
throughout add make most nutri~
tious winter feed for COWS. Mr.
Adkins raised an immense crop OF
them, many rs large rs these, and
did So without the expenditure of
much time, care or expense. Who
can beat them?
Those three large potatoes are of
the Giant variety and were con-
tributed by J. b. Nolan, whose
fertile and productive ranch lies Oh
Hinton Creek. The largest weighs
3! pounds and is as solid as a
dollar throughout. 1t is truly
wonderful what potato-producing
sol Morrow county contains.
Without the least irrigation this
dry sandy soil yields in mense
potatoes, both in size and qualitv.
ard with Il flavor that can be
equaled nowhere on earth. Ali the
cultivation they receive is simply
planting and raising.
During the Editors absence
someone, whose name we did not
learn, left some as fine samples OF
of Burbank Seeding potatoes us we
have ever seen. AS q cooking
potato they cannot be beaten"
If the editor Of the Times viii
only come up to Ellensburg and
look over the display of fruit in
The DAWN Office, he would at once
come to the conclusio that his
samples of vegetable were not in it.
Think of our turnips on display
One weighs twenty five pounds and
the other twenty-eight and dozens
of them from eight to fifteen.
Potatoes! We have them that
weigh all the way from two to four
polnds, but they are not considered
anything extra in weight for there
are larger and heavier ones grown
here-some that look more like
sticks of cord wood. Come and
see us Bro. Shut, we'll make YOU
