Nndicaton which had come to him after
difficult trials.

per cent over the minimum prices fixed

Equal 1907.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. July 81. A
careful estimate of the hay crop in Kit
titas valley shows that the amount Of
hay shipped from Ellensburg and other
shipping stations this year will be only
a small percentage less than the crop
which was shipped last year. Now that
the first hay cutting has been nearly
completed the farmers Of the valley
have an accurate check on their hay
crops. and it has been found that the
fears of a crop shortage which were
expressed earlier in the year, are
without foundation.
There are few cases where crop
shortage has been reported, but the
