Is there to be a county fair in
Orofino this fall? Unless steps are
taken at once to this end it is almost
certain the fair will go by default,
possibly for several years to come,
and we will sacrifice some $1,000 of
improvements already acquired on the
tract known as the fair grounds.
This property he,ongs to the Orofino
Improvement Company, and John Mix,
representing the company, has served
notice that unless the land is pur-
chased it can NJ longer be used by the
public; that the company cannot
afford to give the public the use OF
this property indefinitely; that it is
only fair and just that if the public
wants this land the public should buy
it.

While crops are short and the
yield will be only about, half of nor
NAL, yet the price. 50 per bushel for
wheat, which is about three times the
normal price received by our farmers,
makes the prospect far from dismal.
and should gives US considerable pros
perity. While labor will be higher,
a short crop means fewer sacks, less
Irvine, and shorter harvest, all items
worth considering. Taking every
thing into consideration the North.
west, with but half a yield, is going
to be pretty we'll off just the same,
for which we should thank kind Provi-

THE CLEARWATER REPUBLICAN,.
P. L. ORCUTT. Owner and Publisher.

If report coming to the Republi-
can is true. Post Master Blake has
been paid compliment that should
make any good American citizen
justly proud. The story that comes
to us is that certain socialist was
heard to cuss Mr. Blake because of his
stand for America and because he
has taken an active part in the
movement to organize the county
against the i.ww. If there is one
thing about all else that ought to
damn any American citizen in the
eyes of all good people it would be to
SO act as to win the approval Of those
who are at heart disloyal to our coun-
try. 1t is cinch that it is time for
an American to change his attitud :
when the anarchists find anything in
his citizenship that calls forth their
approval. They're against any man
who has an ounce of patriotism they
are against any man who loves tine
Stars and Stripes; they are against
any man who stands for the United
States of America.

No matter how hot the day; no
matter how depressed one feels, there
is chill and comfort waiting for
those who will but take dip in the
Clearwater, flowing by our door here
in Orofino. At no season is this
stream, pure and rapid, ever too
warm for drinking purposes, altho it
can be improved by the addition of
ice, wei admit, when one wants a
real drink. But at that its chilly for
bathing, and plunge of few min
utes is guaranteed to reduce one s
temperature to the point where the
hot weather will feel comfortable.
Perhaps some of Us are overlooking
this most excellent sport, and losing
the pleasure and physical benefits that
come from swimming. Orofino is
wonderfully blessed in having this
great pure river flowing SO abundantly
by its door, fact we would appre-
ciate were we living in communities
where water is scarce, a river for
swimming not within miles. We
can t begin to appreciate the value OF
this water. We are used to it, and
accept it as a matter of course, and OF
little consequence. But let it dry uI
and see if we'll miss it. If you're
hot go swimming. The waters fine.

The most excellent canned tomatoes
ever sold in Orofino we're grown a
round Juliaetta, and canned in their
cannery. 1t was disappointment to
many local consumers last year to find
themselves unable to buy the Juliaet-
ia tomato on the local market, and
there is reason for this that may
surprise some of our readers. Our
guess is that the Juliaetta tomato,
owing to its superior flavor and high
grade, has been shipped to some
market where an extra fancy product
is demanded, and where the Juliaetta
tomato is marketed under some very
aristocratic title. Which is perfectly
proper, for the Juliaetta tomato is an
arlstocrat alright And We believe
the Orofino tomato equally aristocratic.
for we certainly raise most excellen,
ones in this locality, and will some
day operate canning plant here, anc
export large quantities of fruits anc
vegetables. This will make some.
thing of local market, and convert
much of our land into truck gardens
and berry patches.

Corn will stand more drouth tina
other crops, fact plainly apparent
this year. Which ought TO convince
the most skeptical that silo is the
one essential thing for our farms,
with corn for a filler. Fortunate
indeed is the local farmer who can
show a ton of dry hay from an acre
this season. while it would be very
poor corn crop that will not make five
times that amount of very much better
feed. Ordinarily one may count on
from FIVE to fifteen tons of corn ensil-
age from an acre in this section, the
equivalent of FIVE or ten times the
possible production of dry hay from
the same land. One need not be very
smart to understand that this spells
the difference between hard times and
prosperity on the farm. Build silo.
We haven't much sympathy with
the farmer who refuses to accept the
facts about silos, and persists in
starving along on dry hay and poor
returns from the land. Build sile
and turn loss into profits.

Orotino should some day

Orofino should some day make a
safe and sane swimming place nearer
town than is available at present.
A sandy beach may be found just be-
low the fair grounds, but the dirty
water from Orofino creek, which
dumps in short distance above,
spoils this. The water above the
bridge would make fine swimming
but for this one thing. What we
need is place where the women and
children, who know little about
swimming, and who do not care to
venture into the current, could bath
with perfect safety.

Alfred Holland, formerly student
in our High school, and one Of our
star basket ball players, new residing
at Ontario, Oregon, is visiting Orofino
friends. He lives in an irrigated
district Lear the Snake river, where
alfalfa hay is very important crop,
and says the farmers are reapng a
harvest this season, for their yields
are large and the price out of sight.
Land brings very big price, but
there is no such thing as crop failure
when the farmer depends on irrgia-
tion, and has ample water. But let
US not forget that an irrigated farm
means many times the amount OF work
required on one of our Northwest
farms where Nature does the irrigat.
ing, and the black loan holds the
moisture. Our farmers don't know
what work is, and if you doubt this
spend season in an irrigated district.

Breeding counts in the vegetable

county is standing up reasonably

heads are filling, and the quality will

oats show better color than an adj
joining field of oats, seeming to
stand the drouth better. and having
better heads, with much better stand.
The two oats were sown at the same
time, by the same man, but the La
Forest piece had less seed, only
about so pounds to the acre. In
normal seasons this oat makes a
wonderful yield, and tests high.
Some of them have been annually ex-
