 FEED NATION

The Pacific Northwest can be ex- Uected to do it's share toward con tributing to a wheat harvest this fall that will bring the nation s food reserves up to normal. Early estimates place the yield at 75,- 900, ,OOO bushels, or one-tenth of the probable yield of the nation.
 The 1916 yield of this district wa approximately 5O,OOO,OOO bushles, against 75,OOO,OOO to SO,OOO,OOO in 1915 when the nations crop ex- ceeded a billion bushels. Much Of the Pacific district works on a summer fallow schedule, allowing the land to lie idle every other or once in three years. This is the year for the falloW acreage to be cut to a minimum.
 Shows were heavy during the win ter and the soil is in excellent con dition for spring planting. The win ter crop was well protected, al- though the acreage is not up to normal because of a dry fall in 1916.
