q fair indication Of what Astoria cal
do IN the way Of flowers. Yet Will,
the exhibits arc small and apparentl,
have not been as well developed al
they might have been, nevertheless /
visit 70 them will be found well worth
while.
People who are not familiar will
what may be grown on Oregon soils
viii be amazed At the size Of some oi
the fruits and vegetables shown The
wild grasses. and the timothy and
cloycrs, and also the grains, will also
amaze the visitor by their quality and
great heights,
There are tnrnips that look like
enormous cabbages, SO big are they,
and cabbages that look like--well, one
must see for himself The visitor
should not forge, TO ask Mr.. e. S.
Dow, in charge Of the exhibits, 10
show him the specimens of bamboo
that were grown in clatsop county.

fact tina, bamboo may be successfully

season was late for both grains and
vegetables, but the samples are pretty
good, Yet despite the bad season one
may see for himself just what may be
grown in this county"
There Is enough variety in the cx-
hibits to add interest, and II is a
pleasure TO see some beautiful pre-
serves, with the fruits as bright and
beautiful, apparently. as when FIRST
put down" And there Is loaf Of
bread so white and crisp that il is
enough 10 make ones mouth water.
and perhaps Il should create spirit
Of emulation IN the breasts OF other
housewives who know they can make
bread just as good. At all events
