Splendid CROP OUTLOOK
Large Increase In Wheat Over
Last Year.
MORE HOGS BEING RAISED
Potatoes Slight Decrease, But Of
Good Quality.

A 81, 900, 900 bushel wheat cror
valued at close to SIS, 900, 900, is
indicated by July crop reports
which have been received from
more than 100 different points in
the state of Washington by the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce.
The early promises Of a 20 pei
cent increase in the wheat produc-
tion over the 1919 crop of 53,728,
900 bushels are being borne Out
by detailed reports Of actual crop
conditions and harvester returns.
That part of Idaho embraced in
the Inland Empire, which is en-.
gagged in wheat raising, reports
practically the same conditions, a
considerably increased crop.
A general increase is also noted
in the production Of oats and OF
barley. The potato crop will be
slightly less than in 1912, but OF
very good quality.
One of the most noticeable fea.
lures of the reports is that almost
every district reporting, refers to
an increase in the production Of
hogs.

LARGEST POWER PLANT
To Be Built On Payette River in
Idaho.

Boise-The construction OF the larR.
est power plant In Idaho aud of the
largest pumping plant in the west,
together with the supplying Of cleo
tricity for heating purposes to the
towns OF the Boise valley at rate
that will cut present fuel bills In two,
are all included 10 the plans for the
reclamation OF 44,700 acres of land
under the Owyhee irrigation district.
The power site is on the North
Fork Of the Payette river, about
three miles above the junction Of the
North and South forks. The land is
under the Owyhee irrigation district,
located north and south of the
Owyhee river In Malheur county. Ore.
tributary to the town of Nyssa. The
tract includes A., acres, so per
cent of which is decided land aud the
remainder in homestead and desert
entries. Water for irrigation will be
pumped from the Snake river at a
point near Browns Butte, IL miles
south of Nyssa.
The project entails an expenditure
OF ovef So, 900. 900 and the water will.
cost the settlers $50 per acre. The
power site is held by r. w. Purdum
of Nampa, who is the original pro.
moter Of the project.
With the power generated by this
plant required for pumping purposes
only 6ve months of the year, the
company will have available for sale
seven months of the year, 10000
horsepower, sufficient to supply the
entire Boise valley with electricity
for domestic heating purposes.
