One Of the biggest crops of fruit
ever known in the Payette valley now
seems to be an assured fact. Apples
the staple crop in this section, are
thickly set with green fruit, as are
also prunes, peaches, apricots, plums
etc. The frequent showers during the
past 10 days have been of untold bene-
fit to orchardists and farmers alike,
and especially to the dry farmers re-
siding on the Black Canyon project
south of the Payette valley. Already
big crops of hay and grain are rapidly
pushing ahead on these lands, and
early gardens are already furnishing
green stuff for the New Plymouth
market Only a slight touch of frost
has visited this section and 1t did no
damage, aside from slightly nipping
the young corn. Altogether the sea-
son is exceptionally favorable for a
prosperous year, ,.c,.t

Judge Il. Gail and wife of Chicago
visited over Sunday at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Z. Ingalls,. The Calls
are returning to their eastern home
after a somewhat extended visit In
southern California. In speaking OF
the two expositions Judge Gail said;
"The San Francisco exposition is
riot OF color and beauty and entirely
on different scale from any of our
former fairs. The impression one
has upon entering the grounds, how
ever, is that there seems to be alto
gether too few people in attendance,
or in other words, the fair grounds |
and buildings look almost lonely. At |
San Diego something Of the same i'm
preston Is gained, but in a lesser
degree. California now looks to the
east and north for the next influx
of visitors, as practically the majority
'f California people have already
visited both fairs"
