WHEAT Is SCATTERING
Heavy Losses Feared Because OF
Rains Causing Grain to Shat
ter Easily

Fred Hungate was in town Thurs
day morning from his big ranch near
Wawawai, and reports grain shatter-
ing badly. Mr. Hungate is running
two big combined machines, one on
his farm in Garfield county, south
of the Snake river, where he has
500 acres in crop, and the other on
his farm in Whitman county, where
he has 500 acres of grain. When
seen by The Herald reporter Mr.
Hungate said:
The yield has not been as large
is | expected. l find that the grain
IS SCATTERING badly, especially since
the rains. We begun cutting before
tie heavy rains and had run the
machine half a day when the first

THE LAND DRAWING

Many lessons may be drawn from
the land drawings in the Flathead,
Spokane and Occur d'Alene reserya-
lions. One lesson which has been
taught is that the people are hungry
for land. The desire to get land eX-
tends to all classes. There has
never been time in the history OF
the nation when people were SO
anxious to get tract of land as
,hey are now, and the desire in
,reases as the opportunity diminish
IS.
There are millions Of acres of
better land in Washington than that
n great part of these reserva-
oions, yet the people are passing over
t daily without thought of secur-
ing it. In the Flathead reserya-
ton much of the country is compos-
ed of gravel, some of which has a
few inches of poor soil covering it
ana the remainder has no soil at all.
1 his is the poorest kind of agri-
ultural land and utterly worthless
unless irrigated.
In the central part of Washington
lie millions of acres of better land.
ihis land is covered with sage brush,
but it is neither sand nor gravel.
1t is soil, that once placed under ir-
rigation, readily becomes the best
iruit, alfalfa and corn land in the
west Much of it will produce fair
rops without irrigation, but with
scientific tillage. If these lands
we're advertised, or companies were
formed to place water upon them,
hundreds of thousands of people
would soon be added to the popula-
ion of Washington
Much less money than was spent in
,airoad fare, hotel and other travel
ng expenses by the hundreds of
thousands who registered for these
reservation lands, would place a mil
lion acres of land in fit condition for
people to live upon it. The money
spent by these people in trying to
get land in lottery drawing, would
rrigate and reclaim enough land to
urnish homes for more people than
registered for the three reservation
rawlings.
There is bright prospect for the
future of the semi-arid lands of
Washington when it is known that
people are SO anxious to secure
western lands as they showed them
selves to be in the recent land rush.
If we take advantage of the lessons
taught us by this rush the popula-
ION of Washington ought to show
remarkable increase in the next
few years and the increase will be in
the semi-arid lands of the eastern
and central portions of the state,
where it is needed, and not in the
cities, many of which are already
over crowded.
