EXCELLENT CROP PROSPECTS

That anything like favorable CON
ditions from now on will give Whit
man county bumper crop of fall
sown wheat is the prediction of farm
ers of this section who have learned
the difference between good and poor
growing conditions through years Of
experience. The fall wheat got a
good start before cold weather came
and there is an abundance of moist
ure stored in the soil to insure a
rapid growth next spring. The fall
wheat came through the ground
thick and strong. A comparatively
small percentage of the crop was
sown last fall, however, due to the
long dry spell, and most of the
farmers will have to depend on the
spring sown grain.
