PACIFIC COAST GROWING
IN WHEAT PRODUCTION.
California. Oregon and Washington
Show Surprising Cereal Figures.

California. Oregon and Washington
will soon be producing almost ~ per
cent of the wheat grown In the United
States These western states tCalifor-
mia leading, also produce more than 20
per cent of the barley grown in North
America. and their Oat crops will soon
equal > per cent Of the harvest in the
United States
Few are aware of the growing i'm
portance of the Pacific coast as Il grain
region 1t is more noted for its fish
cries. lumber and fruit crops Yet 10
day this territory is producing = per
cent of the worlds wheat. In 1909
the coasts wheat crop was equal to
three-ffihs of Canada's average an
five years. and it was only G,SSS.W0
bushels behind Australia's average an
nual production for the same period
In 1909 the coasts production was
S.577 900 bushels in excess of the an
nual average for Great Britain and
S.522 900 greater than the 1908 wheat
crop of that country 1t was one
third as large as Argentina's unusual
ly heavy yield of 1908. and it was only
G.OOOO0O bushels below the whole of
Africas wheat output of 1908.
The value Of the Pacific coast princi
pal grain crops in 1909 was: Wheat.
SCI 100000; barley. $29030,OOO: oats.
$14.557 900: total. S1O5,333,OOO.
California in 1909 was fifteenth
among the states in wheat production
and Il close second in barley. Mime
sota's crop was only 100000 bushels
more and twenty-third in oats. Wash
ington was sixth in wheat. seventh in
barley and nineteenth in oats. Oregon
was twelfth in wheat. eleventh in bar
ley and eighteenth in oats.
In 1908 California. Oregon and
Washington gained 100000 bushels
in their wheat exports. besides increas-
ing their flour mills The time is at
hand when exporters Of Atlantic coast
hours must reckon with Pacific coast
competitors in the European trade.

AMERICAN GRAPES equal
EUROPE'S BEST PRODUCT.
Only Foreign Market Needed. Declares
Idaho Vineyard Owner.

That several districts in the Pacific
northwest are much better adapted to
the growing of grapes than the most
famous vineyard localities of Europe
is the declaration of Rudolph Schlei-
sher of Lewiston. Ida. Mr.. SchleiSher
recently returned from years visit
in Great Britain and continental Eu
rope and while on his trip took occa-
sion to visit the principal grape pro
ducing districts and some of the large
wineries.
For the last twenty-five years Mr.
Schleisher has been engaged in raising
grapes in the Clearwater country above
Lewiston and is one of the best in
formed men on the industry IN the
northwest In discussing the OppOrtu
mites for grape growing in Oregon.
Washington and Idaho he said:
"My recent travels in Europe and in
the United States convince me that
we can and are raising the finest quail.
fly of grapes that come on the markets
Of the world. BY virtue Of the soil,
climate and altitude we produce IL bet
ter favored. higher colored and larger
grape than is found either in Califor-
MIA or central Europe
"In southeastern France found that
the quality Of grapes was practically
on par with ours. They have been
raising grapes in that section for so
many years that they have reduced the
work to n science. If the people of the
northwest who are engaged in this
industry would take as much care with
their vineyards the quality of the prod
uct would be much better than any in
France or Italy.
"The fancy grapes in Europe sell
from 81 to $3.50 pound. OF course ii
is only the wealthy class that can af.
ford to buy them. II we could have
q European market for our grapes
there would be no limit to the demand
for our product. In that event our
vineyards would be easily worth from
$4,000 to $1,000 an acre. With the
prices that have obtained during the
last few years our best vineyards have
averaged a net income of from $500 to
5000 an acre

field just east Of the present Fairgrounds
and west Of the site selected for the var
sity field. The varsity field will be laid out
on the extreme east end of the ffty-nine-
acre tract awarded by the trustees for
Alumni field. This site will be in the high
est part Of the field, overlooking the lake
and valley and giving a splendid view I'm
der the original grant the land extended
over toward the buildings of the State Col
lege OF Agriculture, and encroached on the
direct path toward the university farm BY
an agreement with the trustees, the field
committee gave back to the college a trl-
angular strip of land on the southeast end
thereby providing the College OF Agriculture
with highway to its farm and making the
field more nearly rectangular in shape.
This plot for the varsity field is to con-
tain at the present time but fifteen acres
1t was the opinion of the committee and
coaches that piece of this size would be
large enough. II In the future it should
become necessary to take over more land
1t can readily be done by using part of the
tract on the west, which now has been
planed for a practice field
This field is 20 be of twenty so acres
