TIE BHIiMER WHEAT YERfi
Morrow County's Yield Esti
mated at 1,300,000 Bushels.
LARGE AMOUNT FOR EXPORT
Increased Yields the Result of Bet
ter CultivationHarvest-;
liiff Has Commenced.
Tbia will be Morrow county's banner
wheat year. The crops are now far
enough advanced as to be considered
safe, and a reliable and fairly accurate
estimate of the yield can be made.
For the coming crop which will be
the greatest in the history of this county
there can be assigned many good rea
sons. In the first 'place, climatic con
ditions have been favorable. Good
prices last fall was an incentive for
farmers to increase their acreage, but
above all and which will be an object
lesson of great value, is the fact that
farmers have been doing better farming.
The soil has been placed in a better
state of cultivation, and the result is,
an increased yield.
The interest in better farming is due
to no small extent to Moore Bros, of
Sherman county who were practical
farmers and since they ba a been in
Morrow have ""been advocattng the ne
cessity of better cultivation in order to
place this county up to its proper stand
ard as an agricultural district. Moore
Bros at once realized the fact that the
lands here were rich in wheat producing
qualities. This year their wheat looks
as well as any in Eastern Oregon simply
beoause they cultivated the land prop
erly. The agitation for better cultivation
and more careful farming has borne
fruit, and Morrow county will have a
great crop of wheat.
The wheat crop of this county is now
estimated at 1,300,000 bushels.
Tbis estimate is considered very con
servative. The estimates are based on
the acreage and also from the number
of sacks contracted for by farmers at
the different warehouses. All sack con
tracts this year have a clause in which
no empty sacks will be taken back after
taken out, by warehousemen. As farm,
ers do not want to pay for unused sacks
they are figuring closely.
The average yield tor fall grain is
placed at 18 bushels to the acre, while
spring grain is put down at 12 bushels
to the acre.
The recent rains have been of great
benefit to crops in general. The heads
are large and well filled and the berry
will be plump and large. Everything
ought to go in this year as first clasB.
In some localities heading has already
commenced. In a week or 10 days har
vest will be general. As there are lees
than 5,000 people in Morrow county,
the greater portion of this crop will be
for export, the main portion of the
home demand being for seed.
The amount of this year's crop for
export is estimated at 1,100,000 bushels
and will be distribute! from the folio v
ing shipping points on the Heppner
branch of the O. R. it X:
Heppner, 05.000 bushels.
Lexington, 200,000 bushels.
lone, 500,000 bushels.
Jordan Siding, 150,000 bushels.
Douglas, 225,000 bushels.
Cecil, HO.000 bushels.
Morrow county's largest previous crop
was in l'.M2, when there was 000,000
hughe's exported.
Making Good Exhibits.
World's Fair Grounds, St. Louis, Mo.,
July 7. Several Oregon counties 'have
sent excellent advertising matter to be
placed on display in the state exhibits
at St. Louis, and the results they will
obtain will be good. Too ;'much cannot
be said of the judicious publicity of
county resources, for it will do more to
secure new people for the state than any
other form of advertisement.
Lane county and Eugene in particu
lar have sent some fine pictures to the
Oregon.building which will accomplish
wonders for that particular section of
the state. Baker county has a eood
pamphlet on distribution, while Yam
hill has also sent some excellent read
ing matter that will doubtless f be the
means of increasing her population ma
terially. The pictures from Eugene are mount
ed on large mats and are hung incon
spicuous places in the state building.
They represent baildings, both busin
ess and residence, factories, farming
and fruit growing scenes and in fact
nearly every line of industry. A visitor
can see at a glance just what he will be
located with should he move to Lane
county, much more than he can find

How many people will move to Ore

in St. Louis is of course beyond estima

Many pass through the building every

Fairbanks Will Not Resign.
Washington, June 30. Word was re
ceived in Washington today to the effect
that Senator Fairbanks will not resign
his seat in the Senate until after the
election in November. He wants to be
sure of the Vice.Presidency before re
linquishing the office he now holds.
As yet, Fairbanks has made no plana
for the Fall campaign, but it is expected
be will go on the stump during Septem
ber and October, particularly in doubt
ful states.
Company drills are being held
by the militia at Eugene prepara
tory to the encampment at Amer
