BUMPER CROP IN SIGHT.
Eastern Washington to Break Record
Made in Season of 1897.

Review.I
Reports from all parts of the Inland
Empire wheat belt indicate that the crop
this year will he a large one. Conditions
prevail which lead to the belief that the
harvest Will equal that Of the great wheat
year of 1897. Nothing has occurred to in
%terfere seriously with the growth of the
grain, and. unless something unforeseen
occurrs the coming summer will probably
witness the garnering Of a bumper crop.
The acreage planted to fan and spring
sOwn grain is considerably larger than it
was a year ago. In some of the older
counties, where the most of the wheat
land has been under cultivation. the In
crease is slight, if anything at all; but in
most Of the newer wheat countries the
area sown to wheat this year is much
above that of 1903.
Last years wheat brought good prices
and most of the growers felt warranted in
putting in a larger acreage. Thousands
of acres of new land in the western part
of Whitman county are in their first crop;
in Asotin it is estimated that the acreage
TINS year is 90 per cent. over that of last,
Lincoln reports a larger area in wheat, not
because so much new land has been open
ed. but because there was comparatively
little summer fallow; in Adams county it
is estimated there is n 20 per cent. in
crease in acreage, while from nearly all
points in the Big Bend country there are
reports of larger areas sowu to grain.
Weather conditions have been favorable.
Fan spwn grain went through the winter
well and comes out strong and promising.
Spring wheat is u little backward because
of the late season, but it looks well and is
attaining a good growth. There has been
a fine supply Of moisture, and recent rains
have helped to put the wheat fields in a
highly promising condition. In many
years the outlook has not been 50 bright,
and it is not strange that the farmers ere
in good spirits, with every prospect Of Il
bountiful harvest before them.

New Figure In Vermont Politics.
[st. Adams Messenger.l

James Fisk Hooker of Brattleboro is a
young man and a new figure in Vermont
politics, but he gives promise of possess
ing his fathers aptness n capacity for
the detail of practical politics and has al
ready achieved some distinction in that
line. Vermont may cordially welcome
such signs of political cleverness in the
rising generation. Good managers in pol
itics are quite as indispensable in this
country as good managers in business,
only we could hope that they would not
make a business of politics.
