Great Amount Of Grain Has
Been Disposed Of During
Past Few Days at 81 Bu.
DEMAND Is SHOWN FOR
IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
Farmers are Unwilling to Hold
Crops and Are Anxious to
Sign Contracts for Sales.

A third OF CmatilIa county's 1921
wheat crop has been contracted for,
the price being approximately 81 a
bushel. says II. w. Collins, local grain
man. A great amount OF wheat has
been sold during the past few days In
this county and there is considerable
demand for grain which can be de-
livered Immediately, according TO Mr..
Collins.
The early sale of wheat Is unpre-
cedented in Umatilla county. Farm
ers, since last years experience, are
unwilling to hold their wheat and are
anxious to sign contracts for the sales.
II Is probable that but little wheat
will be held by wheatgrowers this
year. The first sales, amounting TO
about a million bushels. were made
during the latter part Of June before
harvest had commenced.
The Collins Flour Mlll is now run
ming full time and the new wheat is
being milled. All flour.belng made at
the mill is for export trade, Mr.. Collins
states.
From all over Umallla county come
reports Of fine Yields. Harvesting op-
erations show that the wheat is excell-
ing all records aud many farmers re-
port wheat going 40 bushels to the
acre. With the acreage est mated at
226.00Q acres the harvest VIII prob
ably result in the eclipse OF all other
umatilla county crop records.

Guard rails ON all sharp curves and
deep fills on state highways leading
! into pendloton where there Is danger
of accidents to autoists will be put in
place before Roundup time with
special attention being given to. the
Pendleton- Echo road.
This assurance was given Pendleton
Yesterday by r. II. Baldock. division
engineer of this section Of the state
following a visit in inspection over the
Pendleton- Echo road and the Oregon
Trail road up over the mountain. Mr.
Baldock arrived yesterday for his
monthly tour Of Umatilla county and
Morrow county roads.
There will be approximately seven
miles Of guard rails put in place along
the highways where the demands of
safety for the public demands the
protection, according to the engineer.
Estimates Of the needed guard rails
are being made up now by G. V. Rob-
inson. one OF the engineers in charge
Of the construction work Of the Cab

DA- GER POINTS ON HIGHWAYS
TO BE GUARDED WITH RAILS
BEFORE ROUNDUP TIME COMES

The general condition Of the Pendle-
ton Echo road Is satisfactory now. in
the main, according to the division
engineer. There is one stretch Of two
miles on which there is loose gravel
which bothers some, but earth filler
has been applied to this part of the
road. and as soon as conditions are
favorable. water will be applied to bind
the gravel. This particular stretch
has had binder applied to il three
times without water since it was con
structed but it is so exposed to the
wind that 1t is very difficult to hold
the filler, the engineer explained. The
use Of water will set the filler and ar
rangements have been made to supply
water on this stretch.
There has been some demand that
we place filler over the entire length
of the macadam road and thus pack
them hard for immediate USE Mr..
Raldock said Yesterday on the trip
over the Pendleton Echo road. "EX
perience gained in building about 1000
miles Of roads in Oregon has demon
strated the wisdom of the departments
action in refusing to use any more
binder than absolutely necessary until
the new road has time to settle and
bind through action Of traffic and
moisture. The excessive use of binder
causes the road to become very hard,
traffic wear will corrugate it and the
highway will become fun Of @chuck
holes rendering maintainence almost
and forces reconstruction
Of the entire section.
The roads in the Pilot Rock and
Heppner district. the Milton -Freewater
roads and Morrow county roads will
be inspected by Mr.. Baldock before his

Grande
