for year-round recreation park within easy reach of a large class of pleasure loving citizens: and he invites those in- terested in fast horses to drive out to see him at the fairgrounds.
 Before the appearance of the automobile a very great interest was manifested in horse flesh. and lovers of speed were in- terested in training classes, and fine har- ness horses. So great became the inter- ests in Alabama that a much better grade of horses has been brought to the market Today the automobile has in a measure monopolized the intense interest, and the world is whiring over space, the ma chinery way. With all of this the love of the horse the track will finger all ways There is nothing more beautiful than well-groomed. thoroughbred, trained to harness and played at full speed-the scene stirs the public enthus- iasm and entertains above all else.
 There seems to be something in the att nosphere of autumn that calls the horse to the stage, thus the fair associations value his upkeep and at the fairs he as- serts himself amid the intense interest of the audience.
 This preparation at the grounds will give value to local speeders, and redouble the interest in the programme for the fair in October.

WATER THE NEED OF THE
VALLEY.

The emphasis which Superintend-
ent Reimers OF the southern Oregon
experiment station placed upon the
need for irrigation in the Rogue val
ley should serve as warning to
those who might oppose plans for
the bringing Of water. Mr.. Reimers
came to southern Oregon unpreju-
diced by ownership Of lands, and
alive only to the best interests of the
man who wishes to produce revenue
i. from the soil. His problem was to
hnd the means to make the soil pro-
duce the most. correcting bad soil
conditions and. improving variety Of
crop to meet the end. One thing
that has impressed the farm doctor
is the imperative need Of irrigation.
He can see no real hope for agricul-
ture without water. The test ON
sugar .beets alone at the experiment
station should demonstrate this. for
water increased the yield almost
three fold.
There is under way at the present
time plan that will bring water to
much OF the land Of the valley II 1t

Pro-. vining's definition Of failure. ir-
rigation can not be deemed failure
In the valley simply because some
projects advanced in the past have
failed. The time for success is now,
and II the people can realize as does
Mr.. Reimers that no sacrifice, IL 1t is

Hands. He said there were few lands
in the valley that could be success
fully farmed without artificial irri-
cation. As an evidence OF the value
OF water, Mr.. Reimers told of the
experiment in sugar beet raising at
the station farm. One acre under ir-
rigation produced Al tons OF beets,
while an adjoining acre, upon which
no water was used, produced IS tons.
Following Mr.. Reimers' remarks,
H. Z. Gale made report upon the
shipments OF pears from Grants Pass
during the season. and incidentally
he endorsed the work of the expert
ment station. He gave the station
credit for the improvement in the
character of the pears grown in this
district. or the 16 cars shipped from
here, he said, i we're OF fancy fruit
and only one OF culls, pretty nearly
reversing the order Of things before
orchards were cared for under expert
advice. Mr.. Gale said that despite
the freight rate handicap, the owners
OF pear orchards had made good re-
turns this season, the shipments
netting as high as sl.2O to si.35 to
the grower He said that there had
also been shipped from here 81 cars
OF apples, and that there were still
10 cars OF apples to go. Concerning
the methods OF marketing fruit, Mr..
Gale said there we're two ways-one
the cooperative way, the other, all
other ways. He LAID special emphasis
upon the need for cooperation, and
gave the returns to those who mar
keted through the cooperative
method to prove his accertion.
Prof. vining, OF Ashland, was the
last speaker at the luncheon. He
spoke OF the elements that are ne
cessary In the bringing OF success to
projects which may be furthered by
individuals and by communities, and
said that there need be classification
OF failure. What appeared as fail
ure, said Mr.. vinlng, was more often
only a case Of arrested success, and
that continued enthusiasm and wise
direction would turn the temporary
failure into success.
