YIELDS Of WHEAT IN
COUNTY ARE SPOTTED

Yields of wheat in Umatilla county
are much more spotted than usual,
according to reports that are heard
from all parts of the county. On
an average yields are in excess of
what farmers had estimated just be-
fore the harvesting season started.
From as low as eight and nine
bushels to a maximum of slightly
more than 40 bushels the acre is
the story told of how the wheat has
weighed out in the warehouse. Some
of the grain is pinched, but quality
is similar to yields in that it has cX-
ceeded expectations in most cases.
Many smaller operators have al
some of the larger ranches are also
bare of this years crop, With two
weeks more of good harvesting wea-
ther, it is thought that nearly all OF
the wheat in the lower sections of
the county will have been harvested.
Some may remain in the foothills and
on Weston Mountain yet to be cut
by that time.
Local grain dealers declare that
there is absolutely nothing doing in
the way of trading in wheat here
now. The market price is depressed,
and the continued rail strike is also
held responsible for a lack of acti-
witty on the part of exporters. ute
a lot of shipping is under way, but
the wheat being sent to the coast is
some of the crop that was contracted
earlier in the season.
