Making a total of 326,736 bushels OF
wheat exported from Pierce county since
Aug. Is, 1868. The average price paid
per bushel was about 81 20, which would
give 1892 .OS3.2O the amornt paid to

alone during the past season. A large

Thps has Pierce county generously
contributed to the mighty tide of golden
wealth that has been borne to the marts
of the world by the Father of Wa

agricultural resources has placed her in
the front rank of the wheat growing
counties in the Northwest. Her yield,
in proportion to area harvested, is equal
with the best, and in quality of grain
she has not been surpassed. The first
