WHEAT ESTIMATES UMATILLA'S YIELD PLACED AT BELOW 3,000,000 BUSHELS- Kirk Hai Wheat That Makes 60 ' Bushels Per Acre Harvest ing Soon to Be Over. Alex. Johnson's 53-bushel yield is not in ii no-. T. J. Kirk's crop will out strip all other crop yields in this section for this year. His field east of town is averaging 60 bushels per acre. When the machine pulled out from the first setting the pile of sacks it left behind numbered 1040.' Six to seven hundred sacks is the usual number for a single setting. The machines at work in this vicinity are many and with good weather next week harvest will have been practically finished. Prices quoted for wheat range around 70 cents, but farmers do not seem disposed to sell at this price, prefening to hold on for the rise, which they bo lieve is sure to come. Wheat-hauling has commenced in earnest and the forces at all the warehouses are busy! E. W. Wright,' traveling correspond ent for the Oregonian who visits the In land wheat region annually, ; gives a description in the Oregonian of Umatilla county's crop. Mr. Wright is a conserv ative writer and usually his estimates are below local estimates. The follow ing is pari of his story: . The inelegant but forceful epigram of the Kansan that "those what has, gets," fairly bristles with truth when applied to the wheatgrowers of Umatilla and Walla Walla counties this year. The rich farmers owning the best lands and conducting their operations on approved methods are in most sases securing very good yields and in not a few instances, the out-turned has been phenominal, On the lighter lands and where 'farming has been . more carslessly - conducted there are thousands of acres in both counties that will not be cut at all, and many more thousands of acres where the yield is running from three to eight bu shels to the acre. The condition of this latter class of lands is such that the good showing made elsewhere is totally inadequate to bring the average up to even last year's proportions, and it will be remembered the crop last year was short. ' ' ", i As near as can be estimated at the present time, Umatilla's crop will be in the vicinity of 2,500,000 bushels, and Walla Walla will probably be about 500,000 bushels short of Umatilla's yield, the total for the two big counties barely approximating the record yield of Umatilla. The high price of wheat com pared with that of last year will make the aggregate value of the. 1003 crop slightly greater than its predecessor. The distribution of this money is so un equal, however, that the man with a three-bushel crop does not take' kindly to any allusion to it. "Darn queer figuring some of you follows do," Haiti a farmer to whom the equalizing process was " suggested. "How is the county going to be jut as ' off with a small crop and high -h as with a big crop and low prices the big fellows are getting it all? Vhatd's George .' Perringer, he's got no nay to burn, so of course he is getting V dushels to the acre, but where does . man with the three-bushel crop, or o crop at all, come in on this 'just-as-jiuoh-money-in-the-county' calculation ? It's the same way over in Eureka Flat. M man Babcock will have a big crop, is he always does, but those poor ranch ers on the light lands over neur the W.e river breaks are all in the soup, ill not get enough wheat to feed mi: ubiekeim. The same amouut of ey thai whh here last year may i"tv ihf ciuuty all rigor, but it ' : Uttuds of a smaller uuuiber - ... .... 3 east end of Umatilla county will "jco more whoat'thun :lHt year, ' boing quite a number of loculitios e exceptionally heavy yields are rted.
