innate for Washington IL Two
Million Bushels More Than Last
Year.

Washington, May l9-It is many
years since the prospects of large
winter wheat crop in the state Of
Washington have been as good as they
are this spring. After CHANGING AT the
May reports from the several states,
j. II, Holmes. the statistician III
charge of crop investigations of the
agricultural department, said:
THE condition of wheat III Wash
ington is tine-very fine. They had a
good winter ont there. and, in fact,
throughout the Pacific Northwest, the
prospects are better than they have
been for long time. The reports from

Washington. Oregon and Idaho are
concerned they are better.
OF the winter wheat sown i'll Wash
ington last fall only %, 500 acres had
been abandoned on May !. There is a
chance, of course. that more winter
wheat will be abandoned, some OF IL
being cut for hay, but ii is believed
that the present figures will not be

doned, and the acreage yield is as large
as it was last year. the Washington

was s, 957, 5Sl bushels,

fields survived the winter season..
There was "A minimum of damage from
frosts. and the % 900 acres abandoned
this spring was, so Mr.. Holmes says,
mostly cut for hay. The abandoned
area amounts to only 5 per cent Of the
whole are a sown last fall.
The prospects for big winter wheat
crop in Oregon are also excellent. The
area sown TO winter wheat in that state
last fall was 1913, 1929 acres. and only I
per cent of this area has been aban-
doned this spring.
Idaho Promises Well.
In Idaho the acreage sown last fall
was 161 OBS. and of this only 3s per
cent has been abandoned. There was a
phenomenal yield of winter wheat per
acre in Idaho last summer. and with
good weather conditions this yiel will
probably be duplicatee this year. The
condition of winter wheat in Idaho on
May was officially marked as 90, and
| in Oregon it was 9S, the same as in
Washington.
The prospects are that there will be
a large winter wheat crop in Callfor-
MIA also, but pretty large percentage
