SPRING GRAIN WAS PlNcHFD
IN SMALL DEGREE BY THE
HOT WEATHER.
Good Yield Reported Near ThieI Sta.
tion-Market Is DulI-cho;c. -
Bought Saturday.

Farmers of the upper fiat will sus-
tain some damage as a result of the
not weather last week." said County
Commissioner George Struthers this
morning. Just how much, it is i'm
possible to say, but late grain was
pinched some. On the lower fiat there
was practically no damage and wheat
will grade No. 1 right through"
Around Thiel station farmers report
that there is hardly any perceptable
damage from the hot weather. John
Tnonney, VINO is now harvesting his
crop, stated today that he had finished
about one-third of his acreage and es-
timating on what had been produced
he would have an average of IS bushels
per acre.
The wheat market remains inactive
in Walla Wa1la and there is not much
prospect of any change in the quota
tons for several weeks yet Very lit
tie of the new crop has been purchased
and the grain merchants are not very
active in trying to get an option on
new grain. The Jones-Scott Grain
company Saturday purchased a small
lot of choice bluestem the price paid
being about 20 cents. This wheat was
for immediate delivery for milling
purposes at Tacoma.
