Freewater, Ore.-Harvesting OPP
erations began this week in the
Hudson Bay country on the F. J.
Bea1e ranch. The yield is consider
ably behind last year, but will make
two-thirds crop. In the Mud
crek country the yield is up to the
average. wheat giving from 80 to
35. and barley 60 bushels to the
acre. In the northern part Of the
Walla Walla valley, while the wheat
crop will not equal the banner years,
1t will be but little short of an aver
age crop.
Calfax, Wash.-"Fall wheat
never looked better. and we are al
most certain to have big yield.

some sections south and on Rattle
snake flat. but will not be in full
blast for two weeks. There has
been little rain in the Washtucna
country since February. and in view
| of the unfavorable weather condi-
tions the wonder is that grain in
this TERRITORY looks as well as It
! does. 1t is believed that no ranche'
will harvest less than half crop OF
winter wheat while many of them
will harvest rs bushels an acre.
Much of this wheat will be off grade
and ranchers do not expect No. 1
prices for their products.
