grown on the home farms was con-
sumed by the livestock of this county.
Except when seen at cropping time
no one unacquainted with the pro-

would suspect its big fertility. But,
the great vitality is there, as the fore

What the Table Demonstrates
BY glance of Table /, used to Illus
trate this article, and for general re-
ference, it Will be seen that the gov
ernment estimate of domestic animals
IN the county for Jan. i, 1920, totaled
z64,4S5. That number included
24,420 horses and mules-mostIy
horses-worth s2,10O,12O.
There were 6.204 milk cows and
26.541 other cattle. 32,745 of all, to-
gether worth $1,741,126. And the
sheep and goats. principally sheep,
made the great total of 1872. $40, and
the splendid value of s2,122,34O at
farm prices. The 14.3S0 swine on
farms Jan. 1 show that this is also
good. deal of a hog county.
But, while the farm animals we're
worth s6,243,996 on the first of the
year. Umatilla's present great crop
resources is wheat and other grains.
Wheat Crop Worth s11 1895. .92O
The 1919 yield of winter wheat was
1852. 900 bushels. and of spring wheat
$4,000 bushels, with $500, 900 as the
total of all wheat. the farm value of
that wheat was s11,3s5, ,92O.
After due allowance is made for
seed and home consumption, the grow
