WHEAT OUTLOOK -
!. BEATS LAST YEAR
Government Field Agent Says
Winter Wheat in this County
is 81 Per Cent of Normal

According to the report of E. L.
Marchetti, field agent for the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, the condition
of the winter wheat in Benton county
on April 1 was 81 per cent of normal,
while in December it was only rs per
cent of normal. The condition Of the
winter wheat in the state on April 1
was SO per cent of normal or 1 per
cent better than the 10-year average
and % per cent better than year ago.
In summarizing his report Mr.. Mar
chetti says:
The entire winter has been unusual
ly favorable for winter wheat on ac-
count of the above-normal tempera-
ture and adequate precipitation prac-
tically all of which was absorbed in
the soil. Many fields, especially thru
out the Palouse and Big Bend areas,
of the state, which had not appeared
above the ground by December due to
lack Of precipitation early in the sea-
son and where conditions indicated a
duplication of the unfavorable rot
ting out of the preceding year, have
attained substantial growth. Altho
there has been an unusual winter
growth of fall wheat turnout the Big
Bend and Palouse countries, the plant
has not attained the height reached
under the most favorable years and
this condition is conducive to weed
growth later in the season. There are
also occasional fields in the Big Bend,
Spokane and Whitman counties and
the dry land acreas Of Walla Walla
county that were sown early in the fall
which terminated unevenly and may
require partial resolving but the pres
ent favorable growing weather will
undoubtedly materially improve the
appearance of these fields within the
next two or three weeks. The condi-
ton of fall wheat in Walla Walla,
Klickitat and surrounding counties is
exceptionally favorable, especially in
reference to moisture. A large por-
ton of the rye seeded in this state had
not appeared above the ground. by
December LIST, but due to abnormally
favorable moisture and temperature
conditions during the winter, had at
tanned a considerable growth by April
first.
Spring seeding and planting are
now general thruout the stste except
ing in some of the extremely late Sec
tions. On account of the early favor
able spring and unusually favorable
moisture conditions many areas in the
state are completing spring seeding
of wheat this year by the time they
began seeding last year.

The present severe winter has revived
talk among Washington golfers about
the possibilities of an indoor course
such as the one run by one or the de-

This winter. one Of the most severe
since the late sos. has confined all the
golfers of Washington to swinging
their clubs in the shadow Of the hall
lamp or forced them to play traVesty

keep in proper shape to resume their
game in the spring of the year. prob
ably would be seized upon with avidity

calls himself Baltimore" Dundee,
created a stir by knocking out a vet

Not only male youth, but youthful

particularly since the start Of the big

letter. the various packs of hounds
were being taken out regularly by the
wives of the masters, most of the lat
ter being in the service. Last fall I
hunted some with the Brandywfne
hounds in Pennsylvania, and I was
greatly surprised to see two young
daughters of the master lead the pack
and they were in at the death first.

PREAKNEss WORTH $4,000.
Pimlico's Big Race Attracting At
tention All Over the Country.

BALTIMORE. Nd, January 2s.-The
running Of the Preakness at the spring
meeting Of the Maryland Jockey Club
at the old Pimlico track this year is
attracting attention all over the coun-
try. Heretofore the Kentucky derby
and Metropolitan handicaps have
topped the list in the way of added
money. but this year the Preakness
will be worth $4,000. and many horse
trainers in the east are pointing their
thoroughbreds for this event instead
Of sending them west for the derby. All
the best horses in the country will
doubtless be represented and q great
meeting Is assured.
In addition to the big stake there are
several $4,000, $4,000 and $500 events
on the program, and no purse less
than $700 viii be offered for the over
night events. During the fifteen days
of the Pimlico meeting the Maryland
Jockey Club will pay out SLOT 900 in
added money, which means daily
average around $1,000. Provision has
been made for horses of all sorts.

DDS, three-year- and matured cam

races at Bowie and Havre dc Grace
