Of very excellent quality.
Sundays rain was certainly a soak
er and the weather since has been
ideal. This rain was just what is
needed to finish up the spring grain
in good shape, and every farmer you
meet now has a smile on his coun-
tenance that reaches from ear to ear
and extends down the back of his
neck.
Everybody getting busy for harvest
now. Cutting has begun with many in
this vicinity and the coming week will
see many more in the fields with their
headers. Nothing but the best of re-
ports are coming in as to crop con-
ditions. Morrow county will market

C. J. Anderson returned the first
of the week from trip to the Milton

the family of Geo. Parman to their

tion made a number of trips in and
out of Walla Walla in various direc-
tions and took note of the crop con-
ditions up that way, as well as on the
reservation lands in Umatilla county,
and it is opinion that Morrow county
has the whole section badly beaten
this year on crops. Their yield will
not be above one half of their stan
dard of other years in the opinion Of
Mr.. Anderson.
Charley Devin was in town Tues
day after extras for the combine har-
yester. He will begin his harvest
the coming week and expects to be
one busy man for many weeks TO
come, His grain will yield we'll and
may make as high as twenty-five
bushels to the acre. Ed Engelman,
Of the same neighborhood, is also get
ting into his harvest and has the
promise of as big yield, and from
samples that we have seen of his
grain it should go thirty bushels at
least. Throughout that section of
the county the grain crop is all of this
quality: No. l wheat, running from
twenty to thirty bushels to the acre.
This is present indications and the
crop is now so far made as to make
this safe estimate.
