ON VALLEY CROPS.
S. 3. Caderhead Tells Oregon People
Of Conditions In Inland Empire.

S. B. Calderhead. of Walla Walla,
general freight and passenger agent
of the Washington & Columbia River
Railway, is in Portland, comforting
with Northern Pacific officials, says
yesterdays OIe3onian. Mr.. Calder
heads road ruls through one of the
richest farming districts in Eastern
Washington, and through his agents
Mr.. Calderhead has been watching
crop conditions closely. Speaking
yesterday of the situation, he said:
The government crop reports are
somewhat of a disappointment. They
refer in a general way to the condi-
tons of the crop, but make absolute
ly no showing as to the amount OF
wheat that might be expected. II
one were provided with last years
crop statistics, he might learn some
thing from these reports, but without
statistics at hand, he is lost.
LAS a matter of fact, the Walla
Walla district will have an average
yield of wheat this year. Between
Dayton and Walla Walla the crop will
run about 35 bushels to the acre.
Between Walla Walla and the Snake
river the average will be 221A bush
els. while from Wallula south into
Oregon, the crop will average 80
bushels.
Reports that the wheat has been
damaged are not correct. The grain
will be of high quality, and will
show up well in weight. | do not
know what crop conditions are else
where, but this is the situation in the
Walla Walla country.
About 80 per cent of the cereal
crop in Columbia county will be bar
ley. The yield this year will be be-
tween 80 and 35 tons to the acre. This
means in Columbia county total of
10000 tons of barley will be harvested
a good average.
"Practically all the barley raised
in Washington is cultivated in Column
bia county so the figures for that dis
trict practically cover the entire bar
ley crop The barley this year shows
Iup with large, fine grains, and is of
an unusually fine character"
