Wheat crop prospects OF six
weeks ago are declared by experts
in the grain business to have al
ready been cut almost in half in
many sections of the country tribu-
tary to Spokane by the long contin-
ued cold, dry weather Of this spring.
Six weeks ago weather conditions
and the condition Of the fields in

promise Of producing for this sea.

greatest in years.

clared. However, for the mostp art

seems that sufficiency of rain and
warmer weather is all that is
needed, but the country about Con
nell and Ritzville. on the Washing
ton Central, will have fallen into
the same difficulty as Quincy and
Wilson Creek within another two
weeks. should rain and warm
weather not come.
In parts of the Palouse country,
where six weeks ago promises were
of the best, the ground is hard
baked on the surface, wheat is be-
ginning to look bad and oats that
have been in the ground for two
weeks, in some localities, are not
yet sprouting through the ground
1t is contended that the Oat crop of
the Palouse country is bound to be
small at the very best. Few oats
are grown in the Big Bend, hence
the farmers there are concerned
only over their wheat.
In the Big Bend the farmers are
still holding to large part Of their
last years wheat crop. the market
having dropped on them while they
held for prices considerably above
the dollar mark.

Now the bosses in the party are 60

the delegates will name the court
as directed by the bosses, and the
bosses will have delivered to the in

The advantage is all with the in.

be fought out in each county to give
