Present indications are that Una
tiUa county will have an ordinary
wheat crop this year and IN some sec
tions. notably the northwestern part
Of the county. the yield viii be above
normal But these IS no basis In fact
for reports that have been sent forth
that a bumper crop such as was hsr-
vested last year IS again in sight for
Umstlilla county.
Farmers and WeIl-infOrmed business
men have been agreed for many weeks
past that the crop outlook is not as
bright as Il was q year ago There
vas considerable damage from frost
and cold weather There was some
harm in the hot weather a few weeks
ago and ther Is decided complaint
this year on the score OF tarweed-
The recent rains have been bene-
ficisl and have tended to make up
somewhat for the frost damage. But
as one prominent farmer said yester-
day the wheat Is not there and it is
needless for anyone TO look for a
bumper yield Some farmers who
anticipated record crops a month or
two ago and bought sacks accordingly
have been reducing their sack orders
during the last few weeks
One OF the best informed local men
declares that IN his view the wheat
yield in this county this year will not
be within 20 per cent OF the yield
last year. He has formed this view
from talking 10 farmers and with ex-
perts who have been making investi-
cations OF the situation for the bene-
fit Of the companies that buy wheat
in this section a travelling repre-
sentative OF one Of the grainbuying
! companies was here but a few days
ago and stated that from information
! he has received from numerous
sources he predicts the yield for

ALFALFA POSSIBILITIES

The alfalfa possibilities of this coun-
try are beyond the dreams of most of
our people. When sidewalk farmers,
on vacant lots that have been the
receptacle for the refuse of the town,
and that have produced nothing but
sunfiowers and rag weed for the past
two decades an, in six months, pro-
duce a crop of alfalfa of n and a
half to two tons per acre, we wonder
what real farmers can do on good
ground. Most of the pieces in town
have been cut and the yield has been
a surprise-none less than a ton and
a half to the acre, while that in block
five, north of the Bank of Ipswich at
the rate Of two and a quarter tons per
acre. The second crop promises even
better. When we remember that a
ton of alfalfa is equal in feeding value
to a ton of bran, we wonder why more
alfalfa is not sown.-Ipswich Tribune.

WHAT KIND OF RUST?

What kind of rust causes the dam
age to the wheat crOp-"black rust
or red rust? This question has fire.
luently come recently to II. c. Coe,
state College and experiment station.
There are two principal rusts which
attack the wheat; one known as
orange leaf rust CPuccinia rubigo-vera)
md the other as grass rust, or
black rust, (Puccinia graminis).
THE orange leaf rust occurs prin-
aipally upon the lower surface of the
leaf blades and occasionally on the
leaf sheaths in small oblong colored
pustules. This is known as red rust"
stage of this particular rust. AS the
grain reaches maturity the red rust"
pustules are replaced by dark brown
10 black pustules, which constitute
another stage of the same rust, known
as the black rust" stage. The red
rust" stage of this rust causes some
damage although not nearly as much
as the "red rust" stage of the grass
THE other rust on wheat known as
grass rust, stem rust, or black
rust (Puccinia graminis), attacks
principally the leaf sheaths and stems,
During the growing season this rust
makes its appearance in the form of
reddish-brown elongated pustules.
This is known as the 'red rust" stage
of this rust. 1t is this stage of this
rust which is responsible for the
greater part of the loss to wheat from
rust because it is present at the time
the grain is filling, and instead of per-
hitting the plant food to be stored in
the grain 1t is taken up by the rust. AS

A CLOSE CALL

People at the Northwestern depot
yesterday forenoon at the time of the
departure of the passenger train going
east came near witnessing a terrible
sight. AS it was they got a scare and
some turned to avoid seeing it. a
drunken fellow started from the depot
platform ove to another track to
get aboard an outgoing freight train.
He started to climb the iron ladder Oh
the side of a freight car. He could
not get his feet up to the lower step
and swung around hitting his feet
against the moving wheels for a dis
lance of ten rods. Everybody ex-
pected to see him drop and be ground
up by the car wheels, but the CON
ductor of the freight made for him
and succeeded in r%escuing him. After
getting him IN his feet he cuffed him
a little, but not half enough and made
him get out of the yards.-Arlington
