Too Many Weeds and Ground Is Bak-

snrino Wheat May Go Is Bushels

Unless conditions change for the
better very soon farmers of the foot
Hill district will harvest crops OF
considerably less magnitude this year
than they have for years past, is the
opinion of John Davis, one of the big
gest farmers in the fOOthlll district,
in Walla Walla today.
What with weeds and a lack OF
moisture, farmers with spring grain
in this year will do we'll if they obtain
a yield of % bushels to the acre,
COMPARED with yields of anywhere
from 40 to 60 bushels in former years.
Il do not wish to be pessimistlc,
but the outlook for a wheat crop in
Walla Walla county this year IS very
unfavorable at present, he said.
Summerfallow spring wheat is bat
Ting with tar weeds in enormous
quantities and the ground is baked
hard from a lack of moisture. 1t is
The poorest prospect | have seen IN
wears in the fOothill district.
ON the other hand barley is look
ing exceedingly we'll in our district
and this class Of cereal promises TO
yield big.
Farmers in from the Eureka fiat
district today claim that Eureka fiat
this year will yield her usual crops.
barring some localities where weeds
are growing rank Late rains have
leshened up spring wheat in re
markable degree and farmers who
took a gloomy view Of conditions two
weeks ago are now enthusiastic over
