This Year Than Last, Despite Lack
of Early Rains-New Ground Being
Broken i'm Pilot Rock Section.

Within the week the greater num-
Der of Umatilla county's wheat farm
ers will have their planting for the
season we'll under way. Already
many drills have started over the
county, particularly on the reserva-
ton, and the others will follow with
in the next few days.
The ground was never In better
condition, 1t is said, than 1t has been
left by the rains Of the past few days.
It is moist, easy to work, and the
starting Of the weeds makes attention
necessary.
According to those who keep In
touch with the wheat growers the
acreage in wheat this year Will slight"
" exceed that of the season just
closed. although practically the same.
New ground is being broken in the
Pilot Rock region, and in the west
ern part of the county, which VIII be
put into the grain this year.
The ground itself Is not quite so
moist as is usual at this time, al
though the rains of late have been
generally up to the average for an
ordinary season. This Is due to the
long drought of the summer months,
lust broken, and owing to this fact
the soil in some regions, particularly
in the Echo country, is lighter than
usual, but It is said to be ideal for
working.
Much more moisture will be need
ed before the first Of the year, but
up to the present the weather condi-
tlons are perfectly satisfactory 1t Is
said. to the graingrowers, and the
outlook for fine crop in the coming
season in so far as can be predicted,
Is excellent.
