Joe Devine was up from his farm
in the Lexington section on Friday,
and as usual is optimistic over the
crop outlook for his part of the coun-
ty. Lexington perhaps handles the
largest proportion of grain to the size
Of the territory of any section on the
branch, and Mr.. Devine expects to
see lots Of the cereal rolling into the
warehouses there this fall. Warm
weather is what the growing grain
needs now, and it seems to have ar
rived. Mr.. Devine thinks the crop of
the county will be about three-fourths
Of what it was last year, and as last
season was exceptionally good, this
rate will not be so bad. Then, too,
the prospects for better prices this
season than last will largely make up
for the shortage.

wheat in his part Of the county will
come along all right; warmer weather
being the most needful thing just
now. There is a good stand and the
grain looks well, though the growth
has been slow so far. Mr.. Peck was
in Heppner on Friday for the first
time in a good many weeks, his
spring work on the farm keeping him
very busy.
