DAMAGE TO GRAIN is SLIGHT.
Late Sown Wheat Will Grade No. In
Horse Heaven District,

Prosser July 29.-Dispatches to
daily papers from North Yakima
about damage to the wheat in Horse
Heaven by the hot winds of the past
week are incorrect. Your correspon-
dent has made careful inquiry of the
wheat growers in both Horse Heaven
and Rattlesnake and they report that
the damage is very slight. Nothing is
damaged except the late sown spring
wheat, which is only about three per
cent of the entire Horse Heaven and
Rattlesnake crop.
The early sown spring wheat and
the winter wheat were too far advanc-
ed when the hot winds came to be
affected. The crop in this vicinity
will he larger this year than last,
which was considered the best crop
that has been grown for years.
