WHEAT'S CONDITION IN
COUNTY ABOVE normal

The condition of wheat in Umatilla
county is distinctly encouraging right
now, according to reports that are
made by farmers and grain men. and
prospects leave nothing to be desired
for bumper crop for the harvest of
1922.
The fall season was little dry at
times for the best results in seeding,
and II was necessary for a slight
acreage to be reseeded. This acreage
was less than is normally seeded a
second time, according to reports, SO
the condition as far as the stand is
concerned is above normal.
The drought was broken with the
fall of more than two feet of snow
in the early part of November, and the
heart of the farmer was gladdened be-
cause the ground was not frozen at
the time of this precipitation, and
when the snow melted, shortly after
ward, the soil absorbed practically all
Of the water. Very soon after that
snow was gone, the present light snow
fell ami it has covered the countryside
ever since. The weather has not been
severe enough to injure the wheat, but
the mantle of snow IS a blanket of
protection. The fact that the wheat
Is covered saves it from the bad effects
of freezing and thawing weather.

FOR CHURCH GATHERING

A heart filled with thankfulness
that his life was spared in an auto ac-

cheer led Robinson Minthorn, Umatil-

beef for a big New Years dinner al
Tutuilla Indian Mission yesterday. The
accident occurred Saturday when
Minthorn. with his tribesmen, Albert,
Wilford and Luke, were returning
home from Pendleton. At a sharp
turn, the machine, which Albert was
driving, upset, pinning the occupants
beneath the car. All escaped unhurt.
One hundred fifty Indians were
present at yesterdays feast, which was
followed by a New Years service,
Fearing that his gift savors somewhat
of an offering to the old gods of the
redmen, Minthorn, who is Christian
Indian, assured Rev. J. NJ. Correlison,
missionary. that the beef was token
of good faith in the religion of the
palefaces.

WALLACE OF
OPINION THAT FARMING
IN 1922 WILL IMPROVE
Interest Rates Lower, Freight
Rates Reduced and Other
Conditions Look Better

When asked for a statement on the
prospects of the farmer IN 1922 Sccre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace said that
no man whose opinion is worth con-
sidering would care to make any hard
and fast prophecies. He added, how
ever, that there are signs which indi-
cate that the coming year should be
n better one for the farmer and for
those who deal with him than was
1921. Among these hopeful signs he
mentioned the following:
Credit conditions are better both
through regular channels and through
the special agencies created to meet
the farmers needs. Interest rates also
are softcn;ng.
Reductions already made in freight
rates on farm products tighten by that
much the transportation burden which
the farmer has been carrying.
Cost of producing farm crops will
hc lower relatively in 1922 than In
1921.
Very likely there will be reduc-
tion in the acreage of some OF the
grains of which we now have such a
large surplus, and this should tend to-
ward better prices.
The paralyZing effect of the sudden
drop in prices last year is wearing OH,
and farmers will enter the new year
more hopefully, believing that the
worst IL over.
Congress has indicated Willingness
to enact such legislation as promises
to be helpful.
Farmers are coming to see more
clearly that the task of putting farm
, ing on a sound business basis is really
up to them and that through organi-
| zation they can reduce marketing
| costs. In this they will have in
| crcasing help from the Department of
| Agriculture and the various state agri-
| cultural colleges which now see bet
/ ter than before that they must Civ"
the farmer the same sort of help in
the marketing Of his crops that they
have been giving him in theproduc-
jtion.
In the industrial and financial CEN
ers there is coming to be better
understanding of the important part
he farmer plays in our general econ
Jmic scheme, and consequently de-
,idedly more intelligent and symp.i-
thetic attitude toward him and his
problems.
With prices of farm products falling
and the future very uncertain, ever
those farmers who had money laid by
and there are large number OF
such--have been restricting their buy
ing to what they had to have. Now
with the growing belief that prices
have hit bottom. buying will he re-
sumed and should increase in volume
and manufacturers and retailers wh'
make or sell things that farmers neeC
or want should have better business
this coming year.
Everything considered, therefore
; we can enter the new year in a spiri
; Of hopefulness and good cheer. SCI
nothing which indicates boom time
for the farmer in the near future. bu
there does seem to be promise of bet
ter time both for the farmer and ia
those whose business is largely de
. penrent upon him.

were made last year and were almost
wholly responsible for the improve

said. There are still many lines. he
added, In which this movement has

Our trade was as good as il was

while his trade was not quite so ex-
tcnsive as last year, the seasons to-
tails equaled those Of the correspond
ing period in 1913. Close buying has
made profit possible, say retailers.
Prices Lower
The gradual reduction in prices,
merchants believe, Is accountable for
the continuation Of buying. One mer-
chant stated that the prices in his
store are now 26,76 per cent lower
than last year This per cent, he
states is derived from the every day
prices in the store and does not apply
to special sale prices which would
bring the average to still lower fig

Collections, dealers say, are picking
up and there is considerable money In
circulation. January and February
are expected. however, to prove lean
months but as the majority of stores
took their losses last year, no great

The transaction is regarded as
marking the definite removal of the

Company from southern pine fields,
where it has long been one of the
heaviest operating concerns, to the
western firm field. It is taken as con-
firmation of the prediction that south
