more ana more apparent that the
hrst estimates as to the Weld for
the state will be greatly reduced in
the actual returns. The rank
growth of straw that resulted from
the generous fall of rain in the
wheat growing counties of the state
Indicated a large yield of wheat,
and ONE of the earlier estimates
made the total probable for the
state 100000 bushels. Contin-
ued favorable weather and remark
ably fine looking fields made it APP
pear that the yield would be even
greater than the first estimates, and
some of the more sanguine of the
crop guessers fixed it at about 30
OOO,OOO bushels, which would be
the greatest crop the state has ever
known. The excellent appearance
OF the growing grain and the we'll
known fact that the acreage was
much larger than usual seemed to
offer reasonable basis on which to
estimate a big crop. The character
of the growth of the straw certainly
indicated all the possibilities of the
more sanguine of the guesses on
the crop. The straw was strong
and very full of sap. 1t stood high
and was of generally rank and
promising growth.
1t did seem that under such con-
ditions the heads must be large ac-
cordingly and full of kernels. But
when 1t came to mature and the
threshing returns were received
from some of the promising fields
1t was found that the guesses would
have to be scaled down literally to
bring them within the range of the
probable yield. The heads did not
turn out as large as the early indi-
cations seemed to warrant, and
they were not filled with the kerr
nels as generously as had been SO
confidently expected. Some of the
latest estimates by men in close
touch with the fields, based on ac-
tual returns from the threshing ma
chimes, and from results cleaned
after canvass of the situation after
the winter wheat crop has been
practically all gathered, and the
spring wheat crop has been partly
harvested throughout the state,
place the yield for the state at from
100000 bushels to 100000
bushels They are inclined to the
opinion that the final figures will
show a crop nearer the smaller
figure than the larger.
ut is one of the queer things that
sometimes happens in growing a
crop of wheat" said w. H. Reed,
in talking about the result. 1--WE
had most excellent growing wealth
err. The growth of straw was won
derful, and it promised a hand
some yield. But it is now known
that the fine weather and an abund-
ance of moisture, unless accom-
panied by early conditions that are
suited to wheat growing, will not
result in a big yield of grain. The
generous rains during the winter
season in the wheat growing coun-
ties caused good deal of blowing
to be done on lands that had pre-
vieusly been intended for summer
following this season. The abund-
ance of moisture seemed to satisfy
many that it would pay better to
put their lands into crop than to
fallow them. This accounts in a
large measure for the increased
acreage. Farmers acted on the
theory that moisture was really
what is needed more than that the
land needs rest. There la no doubt

most ideal for a wheat crop, and
the straw took on a rank appear
ance, promising great results. The
growth was so rank in many places
in Walla Walla county that the
grain lodged and in this condition
it held the moisture and caused
rust to make its appearance, some
thing that has never before been
seen In that county The heads
did not Gil out as well as had been
anticipated, and the total yield must
necessarily be scaled down from
the estimates. In 81 recent letter
from my father, who has been in
the Walla Wal!a district for the
last two months, he says he has
heard of only one forty-bushel field
this year. In ordinary seasons
there are many fields in the foot
hills over there that frequently have
records of fifty-fve bushels to the
acre, and once in while a field
goes as high as sixty bushels to the
acre, although this, of course, is
rare. | think the crop will not be
over 100000, and it may be less
than 100000.
Gas regards quality, however,
the crop is one of the best ever
raised in the state. The grain is
clean and fine looking. There were
very few weeds in the fields, and
SO there is an almost entire absence
of foreign seeds in the grain. The
weather for growing it was so fine
and the harvest season so favorable
up to date, that there is no bleached
or shriveled wheat, as compared
with the amount that appears in
other seasons, and there seems TO
be less smut in the grain than in
some of the crops of recent years.
A large percentage of the crop will
grade No. /. Had the season for
harvesting been less favorable ina-
mense damage would have resulted
owing to the scarcity of labor in the
harvest fields. There was no rain
and no winds. Had there been
rains much of the grain would have
been ruined, and the average quail
ity would have been much lower
than it has proven to be. Had
heavy winds come, as, they do
sometimes, many fields that be-
came over ripe would have been
whipped out and great quantities
of the grain lost in that way.
THE question of securing labor
for the wheat growers during the
harvest season has come to be a
most serious one with them, and
ways and means have been dis
cussed as to what had best be done,
or what must be done. The rail
roads, too, are interested in the
problem, for they realize it means
much to them in the way of freights.
Many of the grain growers have
been 50 stirred up that they are
discussing the possibility of being
obliged to reduce the size of their
farms, or whether it will not pay
to introduce the more general use
Of com bined harvesters and thresh-
ers. Railroad people acknowledge
that something will have to be done
and next season it is not unlikely
that they will do the same for this
state as they do in the large cities
near the spring wheat country, and
introduce harvest excursion rates
that will result in drawing men
from the cities to the country
through the harvest season. This
matter of harvest excursions was
raised for the first time in this
state by the Northern Pacific this

Chinese Census

The Census Commission has issued a
proclamation written in Chinese which
announces in a perpendicular manner
that a white MIN will call on the Celes-
tlals in their quarters and enumerate
their nun bers, age. etc. The APPEAL
has from time to time published nat
ter for the Government and has up to
the present date failed to receive any
monetary REIN buIsement. However,
if Uncle Sam will furnish this paper
with the necessary logotype the pro-
clamation will be published and the
Chinese inhabitants of this county will
be enlightened as to the methods and
questions necessary to obtain a census.
1t was not the intention of this paper
to give the Government any further
free advertising, but the concession is
granted providing the census man digs
up the wood type necessary to make
the display.

A Fine Edition

The last issue of the Indian Advance,
the paper published at the Indian
School near this city. is certainly
fine edition. 1t contains number of
original articles out of the ordinary
run. One article, an interview with
Captain Pete, the Washoe Chief, is
good piece Of work and reflects great
credit on the new editor and manager,
E. Brown. The story is that of the
origin of the [ndi+r and differs widely
from the one lib story of the white
man. Another article on the Indian s
religion is worth the reading and
shows that the rcd man had an idea of
right and wrong before the Christian
missionary was offered up for pot pie
The little paper IS veil printed and
shows that the new man at the helm is
cook printer as well as an editor.
The work is all done by the Indian
boys at the school, and considering the
inadequate plant they are working
with, make a splendid showing.
