When the return are all In for April, It will be found that Ore gon, Washington and Idaho for the first time In their history, have shipped (flour Included). 40.000,000 bushels of wheat, and still have some on hand to tide over the dull season until the new crop arrives. The 1907 wheat crop of the three state was a record-breaker by near ly 10,000.000 bushels, reaching a grand total of 68.000.000 bushels. and on account of the good prices prevailing throughout the season. It moved more rapidly proportionately than any of Ita predecessors. Not only was the wheat crop the largest on record, but barley, which ha been steadily increasing In prominence at one of the great staples of the Paci fic Northwest, also established a new mark with a crop of nearly 10,000,. 000 bushels. Oat, exclusive of the crop grown In the 1j Conner (lis trlct on Puget Sound. Is credited with a yield of 12,000,000 bushels In the three states. These figures which show a rxnnd total of 80.000.000 bushels of the three leading cereals, are compiled from accurate statistics, kindly sup- piled by the railroad companies, which moved the big crop ami by prominent grain exporters In various parts of the three states. The figures fall short of some of the earlier rati mates made on the crops, and natur ally are several million bushels smaller than the government figures on oats and barley. Washington' 40,000,000 bushel crop of wheat dwindled to about 35.- 000.000; that of Oregon was slightly unaer im.uuo.ooo. and Idaho's was somewhat over 6.000,000 bushels. was telurrd by high otiiciala today, but it it ktiowu that steps ir now being tsksn by the government to gt c qusintrd with the various group and their Individual members, and that the Keda will be kept uudsr strlctrst tut vsillsnce hereafter.
