Among visitors to Walla Walla today
is William Lamb, a prominent farmer
of the Dixie neighborhood. Farmers
in our section are busy putting in
their spring wheat Mr.. Lamb stated
this morning. Fall wheat is looking
fine. In many of the fields the wheat
has attained a growth of eight inches.
Only in a few places was fall wheat
damaged by the cold weather Of Feb
ruary. There is every indication of
the Dixie country producing an i'm
mense crop this year."
