RAIN IN WHEAT STATES
IMPROVES CROP OUTLOOK
Vice President Earring Says With
Bumper Yield Lumber Business
Should Pick W

SEATTLE, June II. - IF bust
ness genrally throughout the
country we're as optimistic as the
crop conditions there would be no
cause for complaint from any quar-
ter" said H. B. Earring, vice presi-
dent Of the Milwaukee, on his return
Monday from his quarterly inspection
Of business conditions along the line
as far east as Mobridge, South Dakota
Mr. Earring was emphatic in his
statement that the wheat yield in Mon
tana and South Dakota would be 20
to Is per cent. above the best year
in four. unless unexpected weather
conditions interfere, and this in prae-
tically the same acreage.
Crop conditions all along the liAe,"
said Mr.. Earling. ARE more favorable
than at any time since the Milwaukee
was built to the Coast. Montana's
acreage will show an increase Of prob
ably 10 per cent, and with fairly IA
yorable conditions for the balance OF
the year the yield ought 10 break all
records.
I'm Washington the prospects are
better than last year at this time for
a bumper yield. Showers on alternate
days in this state and in Montana and
Dakota have put the finishing touches
on the hopes Of those who have been
catching the agricultural develop
ments of the season
Line yards are needing lumber, and
should the crops be what We have
every reason to believe. there will be
a revival Of the lumber industry that
it has not known in months. General
business conditions along our line are
far better than had expected, and
confidentially look for q substantial
increase in freight tonnage within the
next ninety days."
