The farm Labor and Seed Survey
carried on during the last month that
approximately $4,000 acres of wheat
were grown IN this county last season
and that the contemplated acreage
for 1918 was $4,000 acres. This
would be q big incrfease. but since
the President set a Portland price OF
,g.2o per bushel. many farmers have
slRnified their intention to increase
their acreage more than they had
contemplated doing earlier. and this
price setting has taken place since the
survey.
This big increase will mean that
there will be raised in Malheur eoun-
ty during 1918. more than 100000
bushels OF wheat. This Is using 30
bushels a. an average acre yield, and
IL is hoped that the further increase
in acreage over $4,000 first contem-
plated and by increasing the yield
