wALLA WALI4A, Wash, Feb. 23.-
The Telegram says: Reports from the
wheat belt mike il 'difiioult to estimate
the effect recent cold weather has had
on winter grain in Walla Walla county.
From some sections come reports that
a large percentage OF fanssOvn grain
has been badly frozen ont, and that
reseeding will be necessary. In other
localities 1t is stated there has beene
no perceptible damage. Farmers on
Upper Eureka Flat claim their, wheat
was nearayleall killed, while from the
Touchet section reports show that
grain has not been affected. Around
Dixie and Waitsburg and on the up
lands frost has killed some. grain, but
on land in the small valleys 1t has
stood the freezeup exceptionally well.
Conservative estimates by graindeal-
ers are that 10 per cent OF the faH-
sown grain is killed. ="
1t is estimated that the spring SOW
Ing in Walla Walla county will exceed
that of 1904 by fully 40 per cent. Only
about o5 per cent OF the total acreage
to be seeded was put in last fall. On
Eureka fat, the heaviest wheat-pro-
ducing section Of the county. only
about 10 per cent OF the land was put
in seed. @
OF the 100000 bushels OF wheat har-
vested in walla walla county last year
Il il estimated that about rs per cent

warehouses throughout, the county. o.
this about one half has been Sold anc

the purchasers. Speaking OF cr0E
prospects for 1905, J.. c. Scott, OF tht
Jones Scott company, said today. ~
although there has been quite
deficiency in precipitation this winter
and probably considerable Of the fall.
sown grain has been frozen. with fav'
orable conditions in the spring the croY
should be up to the usual standard IL
quality A great many farmers las

became too dry. and as result tn
acreage scwn to grain was consider
ably smaller than for many years II

there was nch of the fall sowin'
killed by cold weather and larg
number of farmers decided to taxi
their chances with spring grain rathe
than to risk putting in large acreag

spring. With favorable conditions thi
