The wheat crop in Cmatilla coun-
~ today is in really better shape than
It was on June 1 last year. In the es-
timation of David II. Nelson. who has
just looked over a considerable area of
wheat in the county. Mr.. Nelson says
the condition. is between so and 80
per cent of normal and that with q
good month OF June, an excellent crop
will result. The color and quality of
tho plants now is good, he says. and a
lot depends upon the moisture TO be
obtained this month. Mr.. Nelson re-
turned last week from his holdings In
Montana and says that prospects there
are also very much better than for
number OF years. Last year an almost
crop failure was recorded in
that state but there has been plenty
of moisture this spring and there is
not the danger of a water shortage as
was experienced last summer.
