Will Convert Hay Into Meal.
tEllensburg DAWN


1t is only question of time until all
kinds of hay will be converted into a
meal-the same as alfalfa-it will be
harder, of course, then to detect foul
grasses and weeds-but 1t will fix the
product so that it will be fed without
any waste and the whole Of the plant
will be converted into food products.
AS 1t Is now, the loss is too great, the
coarse stems of all hay find its place
in the barn refuse regardless of its
cost. The silo is good thing, but it
is not an all purpose concern. Stock
must have some dry food, and 1t is
much more profitable to feed hay meal
than dry, rough and coarse hay.

WHEAT CROP LARGE

That the Pacific Northwest will har>
vest the second largest wheat crop of
its history is the prediction made by
the Oregon Daily Journal. 1t is esti-
mated that Washington, Idaho and Or.
egon will harvest 75,5OO,OOO bushels
this season. In Washington and Ida
no it is expected that the largest crop
on record will be produced.
This season has been peculiar in
that the outlook for good crop was
originally poor. The record yield has
been almost totally unexpected. An
other curious feature is that the light
land will as rule produce larger
crops than the so called better sections.
The unusual amount of moisture re-
ceived by the light lands during the
spring months is the cause of this
anomaly.
In the Palouse country the outlook
is by far the best every known. Whit
man county will harvest 100000
| bushels of wheat, which is from $500.
900 to 10000 bushels more than has
ever been gathered in this section.
The Big Bend section is producing IS
bushels to the acre in many places.
Taken as :. whole this section will av.
erage only about Is bushels, which is
fine Yield when the amount of light
land acreage is taken into considera.
ton. In Walla Walla county yields of
80 to 80 bushels are common on land
hat few years ago was considered
worthless from an agricultural stand
point. Some of the fields on Eureka
flats are harvesting 40 to so bushels
per acre. This, of course, is excep.
tional.
The barley crop for the three states
also promises exceptionally we'll Wash.
lngton will have the largest crop and
it will be generally of the best grade.
The hay crop of the Pacific Northwest
will be the largest ever known. This
applies to all three states and all va.
