HARVEST YIELDS ON PRAIRIE
Some Good Yields of Wheat, Barley and
Oats Around Grangeville.

Now in the midst of threshinp. th
farmers on the prairie are able to as
certain definitely just what the crol
conditions are. Last spring crop pros
poets never looked better. Of cours,
spring conditions do not govern fina
prospects but they insure a good yielt
in any event. The wet weather il
June, being of so long duration un
doubtedly increased the amount Of
smut in the grain, although we are MOI
having SO much smut on the prairie
as they are having in the Palouse coun
try according to the reports Of those
who have visited that section from the
prairie. ,..,,ls 5
The spell of dry weather which fol
lowed the wet period, and which was
accompanied by heat wave damaged
early spring grain to some extent and
undoubtedly was a feature which re.
duced the yield of the fall sown grain.
Rains will still help the late sown
grain although there is small indication
of rain other than local showers. Taken
as a whole, however. the results indicat-
ed by the yields of grain, SO far thresh-
ed, and from the statements of the
farmers, show that we will have a crop
much above the average of other Sec
tions of the northwest.
One thing that the dry weather in
sures is the early conclusion Of the
threshing season. That will enable the
farmers to begin on their fall work
early, and in case rains start in time to
make ploying easy great deal of grain
will be put in this fall A good price
for all grains is assured on account of
the war conditions and this will make
slightly smaller yield equal in value
to what greater yield would be at
smaller market value. Nobody has
been complaining and so we take it that
all are well satisfied with prospects as
they are.
Manager Thompson OF the Interior
Warehouse Co., states that the lowest
yield of wheat coming to his knowledge
was about Is bushels, and that it runs
up around the 40 mark as the highest.
Barley shows about the same yields as
wheat running from 25 to so and better.
Oats has not commenced to come in
very rapidly as yet but yields are good
and quality is splendid. Mr.. Thompson
took in the first load Of oats delivered
in Grangeville this year, Charley Nail
being the seller.
Vic Peterson confirms the reports
made of the yields as given by Mr.
Thompson. He states that John Schram
and Mr.. Hiles both had barley that
made more than so bushels to the acre.
It is reported that Rube Overman has
a piece of barley which made so bush
els. w. E. johnson, two miles west Of

which made 4S bushels. His wheat made

that the same will be enacted into law

the nine other counties unheard rrsm
report in their abstracts. These -
counties show a total valuation OF
1897 ,i52,9s3 and clearly indicate that
when all 33 counties have complied and
submitted their abstracts the grand
total real property assessments reported
will be lower by several thousands of
dollars than last year.
The grand total real property re-
ported to the board last year was 1914.
22S,l 2o and the subsequent assessment
rolls raised this total several millions.
While the subsequent assessment this
year will also increase the grand total
of real property assessments, it viii

panies of the northern part o1 the state

protest against the assessment of their
holding in the panhandle They claim
they have been Disseminated against

with grand total assessment of $780,
