VICE. PRU|TT BOOSTS
UkATILLA COUNTY

"Umat lla county Will raise 5000 :
600 bushels of wheat this year, all
signs pointing at resent to the great
est crop in the history of the finest
wheat belt in the world,' saidW. C.
E Pruitt, a poineer newspaperman of
eastern Oregon, yesterday, says the
Portland Journal Mr.. Prultt. who Is
member of the Press club. is in
town to attend the dinner to be Civ
en- newspapermen by the Multnomah
hotel February 6. Mr.. Pruitt's home
is at Pendleton, the county seat of
Umat'lla.
Yes" he continued. "the farmers
up our way are in high spirits. Wealth
er conditions for an extraordinary
heavy yield of wheat have been al
most ideal. Last year we had but a
little more than one inch of rainfall
in the growing period. This year
there has already fallen more than
four inches, the grain is almost knee
high in some places is so far ad-
vanced in all sections that nothing
can now hurt it. A heavy frost or
continued cold weather would have
no effect on the wheat, though If
freezing weather had prevailed a few
weeks ago there might have been
some damage.
"The crop last year was a good
one. but not so large as the bumper
| crop of 1902. But there never was
such crop as we will have this year.
Our country is the land of the typical
wheat raiser. George Peringer is
| farming 10000 acres this year. l
met one of our most prominent far
mers the other day and asked him
| what he thought of the prospects.
Well, everything is fine, he said, but
I am sorry on account of just one
| slip I made I asked him what and
he replied that he had failed to put
in enough wheat. How much did
you plant?' / asked him. Only 1000
acres" he answered lugubriously.
