TURKEY RED WHEAT IS
UNFRAMED BY DROUTH

The condition of the wheat crop In
the district west of Pendleton is not
at all serious yet, according TO the
opinion Of Fred Bcnnlon who made
an inspection of a large acreage on
the the west side of the wheat belt
Yesterday afternoon.
There are places where the Hybrid
Is burn ng. This is especially true
along the breaks where the grain
nearly always is injured before har-
vest time. Turkey Red is apparently
not harmed in the least by the lack
OF rain. however. according to Benn-
ion. It's lack Of any extra foliage is
responsible for its ability to withstand
drouth.
The success growers have enjoyed
with the Turkey Red has resulted in
the acreage Of this variety being In
creased in great measure during the
past few years This wear in the west
end. which the county agent desig-
mates as a natural Turkey Red belt
he estimates there b. an acreage OF
10. 600 acres. Growers are watching
the comparative condition Of Hybrid

that he could afford to do severa
things without worrying where the
cash could be secured.
Docs His Own Work
Now the latter part of that state
nent is strictly my own observation
and it isn't based on anything Strohm
said, because he didn't talk very much
about himself. He is as common
as anyone person might meet in a
weeks journey. and doesn't seem to
know that he has succeeded in doing
It piece of very fine work, both for
himself, which isn't a bad thing, and
for his community, which is even a
better thing.
As a matter Of fact. it is my i'm
preston that in the long run Strohm's
work as n breeder and farmer will be
worth even more to the west end of
the county than to himself-and his
banker tells me that Strohm is as sue
cessfui in a business way as he has
been as a breeder. Already his hogs
are scattered all over the west end Of
the county and the demand is grow
ing for breeding stock all of the time.
Fred Benniou attributes Strohm's
popularity with other breeders. or
men who have ambitions to be breed
ers. to the fact that he sells his breed
ing stock at prices only slightly in ex-
cess of what he could get for it for
PORK. and he never loses interest in
the stock even after he has received
his money. He doesn't keep his
knowledge about hogs locked up. but
on the contrary is always willing "a
tell n beginner all he can TO helpNhim
get started. He also has the habit nj
dropping around 10 farms where his
stuff has found home and II every
thing j. not going just as it should
with the new breeders. Strohm make
a suggestion or two about whers
changes in handling or feeding meth
