LARGE WHEAT YIELD
Forecast of Harvest in North
west Shows ldahs~in
Third Place.

Portland Ore, Sept 2-E W Wright
commercial editor OF The Oregonian. who
has just completed a trip Of 1900 miles
through the wheat districts of Oregon
Washington and Idaho estimates The
wheat crops of the three states for the
cereal year 1896 TO be 45. 10000 bushels
Mr. Wrights estimate is valuable because
during the past five years each OF hts
predictions have been within 100000
bushels OF the actual output
OF the total crop this year Oregon is
credited with 12.950.000 bushels Washing
ton with p. $50 90 bushels and Idaho with
900 bushels. This compares with a
crop Of 3t7S5,OG0 bushels vast year. A.
100000 bushels in 1902 and 45.600.000 bushels
IN 1901 the latter being the record crop
for the three states. The Out-turn as now
estimated by Mr.. Wright is fully 500. 90
bushels under the yield indicated a short
time before harvest. the decrease being
due 10 dry weather and frost. The poor
est yields are in the Grande and Viii
lamette valleys and also the Big Bend
IN Washington; the best yields IN the lat
ter state being more than 5.O00,e0 bushels
less than In 1901 The best Yields are IN
Gillian and Umatilla counties in Oregon
aud in the western part OF Whitman
county. in Washington. The acreage Is
larger than ever before and with an
average yield equal 10 that OF 1901 would
have produced crop OF 100000 bushels
The crop is selling freely at the best
prices ever realized when the Weld was
SO large. In this estimate Whitman
leads Washington counties with a crop OF
100000 bushels and Umatilla the Ore
gon counties with 100000 bushels.
