The people Of Oregon have grown TO
believe that no other country can raise
as good wheat or as great an amount to
the acre, as can be raised in her fertile
valleys. But it would seem from some
statements made in regard TO wheat
growing in Eastern Washington Terri
tory, by reliable authority, published in
the Oregosaiae of Wednesday, Oregon
is hardly entitled to the front seat in the
number of bushels raised per acre.
We have bnasted of our thirty, forty
and fifty bushels of wheat per acre but
such little dabs are not to be counted at
the same time with the yields from the
Territory under consideration. Says the
paper mentioned:
Mr.. q. Maier, living near the base of
the Blue mountains, in Walla Walla
valley, in 1873, raised on 6O-acre field
1920 bushels of wheat, an average of
81 bushels to the acre; and in 1875,
from 6O-acre tract, 3,420 bushels, or
81 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Mastersor, residing four miles
south of Walla Walla, raised ON 10
acres $50 bushels-s5 bushels to the
acre.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose farm is on Dry
creek, six miles from Walla Walla har-
vested $3.50 bushels from $50 acres
35 bushels average: and this was a
volunteer crop, that is, the second crop
from one sowing.
These crops, says our informant, were
produced on ordinary wheat land, land
that is considered good, "but no better
than hundreds of thousands of acres now
lying vacant in Walla Walla and Whit
man counties, especially north of Snake
river, where there is q country vast
enough to produce more than 25,OOO,-
600 bushels per annum, and where a
failure of crops has never been known.

1t is estimated that the State of Ore
gcn has within its limits district OF
rich soil to the amount of 2,752,OOO
acres. OBe-fourth OF this area devoted
to the raising of wheat, at twenty-five
bushels to the acre, would result in
yield Of II 200, 900 bushels per annum.
Less than one-tenth Of this will satisfy
home consumption, leaving over fifteen
million bushels for export, source of
wealth in itself that is simply immense.

The citizens of San Diego county are
somewhat largely interested in sheep
raising, and have been in the habit of
sending their tiocks over the line into
Mexican territory to Craze there. When
shearing time came some of the sheep
owners sheared their sheep in Mexico
and brought their fieeces back into the
United States. When this wool came
into this country it was required to pay
duty, although from sheep belonging
to Americans living in the United
States. To be obliged to pay duty was
considered hardship, and the matter
was brought to the notice of Secretary
Bristow by Dir. Sargent. The decision
of the Secretary is that wool on the
back of the sheep may come in free
from duty; but that wool sheared from
no matter whose sheep shall pay duty
the same as any foreign wool.
