INLAND EMPIRE CROP

Sixty-five million bushels of wheat,
100000 bushels of oats and 49,
100000 bushels of barley is the ex-
tent of the grain crop predicted for
Washington, Idaho and Oregon this
season by millers and bankers who
have made a close study of the stu 7
ton in the three states. The hay
crop, including alfalfa, will be the
largest in the history of the north
west, and in addition the growers in
the Yakima valley in Washington will
make $4,000 bales of hops. The crop
is high grade and free from defects.
The wheat acreage in Washington
is 2,122,000 acres this year, as
against 1,72S,748 in 1908, when 23,-
100000 bushels were harvested. The
yield this year is estimated at from
thirty-nine million to forty million
bushels as against thirty-eight million
bushels In 1907. Oregon has $685.
1000 acres In wheat this year, as
against S1S,5S5 III 1908, sand IT Is
expected the crop will be not less than
16,500,00 bushels. If conditions
had been favorable throughout the
state the yield would be $1,000, 900
bushels. Idaho will cut between o.
SOC, 1000 and 100000 bushels this
year, as compared with less than o.
O00,000 bushels in 1908. It's acreage
is $4,000, as against 414,412 a year
ago.
Farmers are holding their oats for
$25 ton, which means from 500 to
$3.50 at tidewater. The barley crop
is large, with plenty of coarse grain
for feeding later in the season:

after an examination, found he had

the younger members of the association
yesterday afternoon on Second Wind"
Hagerman spoke Of the second wind
which every long distance runner can
attain to a greater or less degree and

spiritual and physical life as we grow
older. A large crowd turned out to
hear Hagerman's first address before

ment being especially well represented.
The topic of the address, Second

of view that Hagerman has attained
great fame as an athlete. His inter-
national reputation being secured when
in London he took second place in the
broad jump, representing the Los An

german was also a point winner at St.
