When Hon. Park Trammell recently

down to where he could smell the ink
and grease the press and cuss the gaso-
line engine, and run the business and
literary ends of the proposition at the
same time. This Is true, and It confirms
the wisdom OF Mr.. TTammell in getting
out. for he couldn't do all those things

THE LIVESTOCK SHOW.
This Farmer Praises Il and Urges
Other Farmers to Take Part.

EDITOR TINES
I would Ike to say few
words about the coming stock
show. I have as my friends know,
been farming here over IS years
and to my mind tlis;stock show is
about the biggest thing ara will
have the most beneficial effect cE
any thing that has ever been done
for the farmers CT Benton County.
TO carry out this project the
business men of Corvallis have
shown that they have the interests
Of the farmers al heart, they real
ize that to be-a successful business,
community they must be surround
ed by successful farmers. They
have subscribed III a most gener-
o1s manner and are Offering for
p-eniuns most beautiful cups
which any man might well be proud
to win. tIilk many farmers
have wrong ideas about the stock
SLOW, and think that the premiums
are all that there is in i. While
they are splendid and given IN
generous spirit let the say thac they
are the very least part OF the whole
show. You may have fine stock
back i'll Kings Valley or on Long
Tom or down On Soap Creek but
who knows of it except your near
est neighbors? This is the great
and lasting good that a show is, it
is big advertisement for our stock.
! Look at these business men who are
giving these premiums. Some of
of them may have pants TO sell aud
some of them i1ay have pl0ws.
/ They let yotl know about tllese
goods, that IS business, and that is
what stock growers Ought to do, to
let the other fellow know what he
has got and that is what this fair
will do. Now another point. Stock
growers grow stock to sell. To
make a successful sale they must
in measure consult the convent
ence of the buyer. Look at what
a convenience it is to the buyers to
meet in one day all the principal
stock growers of a large district
and see. samples OF their stock.
There is not the slightest doubt
that if these fairs are successfully
continued for few years that buy
ers will make a point of attending
them. There is nothing new about
this back in that green isle where
! was born and raised. Fairs are
held everywhere and buyers from
all over Europe and some from
America also attend them and
bring Whole train load of stock in
one or two days. That is what
we want to see here. Plenty CT
stock and plenty Of buyers 10 buy
them. 1t is Just such shows and
fairs of this class held il every
principal town in Oregon that viii
build up this industry.
