INLAND EMPIRE TO
HAVE BUMPER CROP


Spokane, May 27.--Not for a de-
cade have conditions in the Inland
Empire looked more favorable for
crops than at present. This is great
ly due to the fact that in the grain
belts the ground to a depth of from
to to Twelve inches is thoroughly
soaked and that light showers, ac-
rcompanied by sunshine, have been
falling during the past few days. Re
ports from northeastern Oregon,
northern Idaho and eastern Wash
ington are of the most encouraging
nature. They tell OF the wheat stool
ing better than II has for many
years and that in one instance a field
covering 200 acres runs from 80 to
so stalks to the stool.
The acreage in northern Idaho is
fully 80 per cent larger than IL was
last year, and 1t is reported from
northeastern Oregon and eastern
washington that there the increase
over last year win be from 10 to 80
per cent.
While there seems to be no way
to accurately estimate the size of the
coming crop, the farmers of the
Snake river valley and the Idaho
prairies venture to guess that this
fall they will ship a strong 25,0O0,0O0
bushels of grain. In the Palouse and
central Washington fields the grow
ers declare that II the customary
rains fal, late in June they will ship
at least 20,00O,V00 bushels.
