crop reports received from every section
OF Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield, and
Whitman counties In Washington terri
tory, and umatillia county Oregon, place
the average fall-sown wheat at 80 per cent
greater than last year. not l per cent. of
which was damaged by cold. The condi
tions for spring-sowing were never better.
In the Willamette valley nearly all the
fields affected by the freeze have been re-
sown. This state Of affairs was possible,
on account Of the extraordinary fine
weather for tho past twenty -four days. In
that time the highest thermometer has
been 6S, and the lowest 81. The greatest
velocity OF wind was twelve miles per hour,
and not drop of rain.
The exports OF breadstuifs continue to
show a gratifying increase over those OF
last year. From all the ports OF the United
States during, the month of February the
exports reached total money value of
$l577S,0O9, against $ll ,175, 1893 in 1882, while
for the two months of the calendar year
january and February--the total was $3l :
Cos, 5S6, against $23, 1917.
The Australasian, published ut Mel
bourne, South Australia, of the wheat crop
OF that country, Just harvested, says: 1.-The
season has been unfavcrable in the north
ern part Of the colony for wheat. The
average yield Of the last seasons crop was
0,45 bushels. Rain came about the 10Th OF
October that did much good TO the wheat,
although II was too late to give an average
yield. Calculating an increase of 1000
acres wheat area, and an average this sea.
con equal TO that of last season, we have Tor
the whole colony $4,000 acres, yielding
S,S07 100 bushels of wheat. Should this es.
innate prove correct tho present wheat har.
vest will be less by 1907 ,i4S bushels thai,
that OF last season, In case the statistics o.
the crop Of last season We're accurate. Reck
oning seeding l,WOOoO acres at IA bushel,
will require |, 5000 bushels, and the popu
lation Of about 100000 at 81 bushels, vii
absorb for food 1850, 900 bushels, leayins
avatlrble for expectation 2,S57, 900 bushels
against !, 1888 $50 bushels exported last sea
son. The wheat yield in the colony OF Vic
tofia Is estimated to average bushels PEI
acre for tue crop just harvested, which vii
give an exportable surplus of about 2,iOO,
600 bushels.
