CHOICE LOT OF -BLUESTEM PUR-
CHASED BY JONES. SCOTT
GRAIN COMPANY.
Harvesting Will Be in Full Blast Next
Week-YieId Gives Promise of
Being Heavy.

The first wheat Of the 1905 crop to
be sold in Walla Walla county was de-
livered to the Jones Scott Grain COM
pany Monday. 1t was a choice lot OF
bluestem raised on the foothills near
Walla Wa1la, and the price paid for it
was 65 cents f. O. b.
Very little harvesting has been COM
menced in Walla Walla as yet, but by
the first of next week it is expected
that the threshing machines will be in
full blast all over the county. Consid-
cradle amount of wheat has been cut
for hay, but the header crews will not
get busy for few days yet.
Reports from the Eureka Flat Sec
ton are to the effect that the grain is
ripening slowly which is a good indica-
ton that no damage was done by the
recent hot winds. Farmers in that
section are preparing to begin harvest
ing next Monday.
The present outlook for a large yield
of grain is excellent and all expect to
get a good return of good No. 1 wheat
