NOTHING TO SCARE AT
The Crop Reporter gives the
estimated quantity of wheat in
the farmers hand's on July 1st
1905, as .24,257,000 bushels.
This, to those who do not stop
to think, ' looks like a large
; amount, and they fear it will
have a depressing effect on the
wheat market, coupled with fair
prospects that the 1905 crop of
wheat will be a good one.
Let's figure a little and see if
there is jany, reason for -
5,owcrn in get ingnieneu. it
will be sixty days from July let
until flour will he made from the
incoming wheat crop, during
which the 83,000,000 of people
in the United States will eat.
Assuming that two thirds of the
people consume wheat bread and
that they consume ss much floui
in cakes, pisf puddings and
1, 1 tt
ureau tu uo somier does in
bread alone, the daily consump
tion of wheat flour will be 58..
000,000 pounds ' in the United
States, and for the sixty days it
will take 3,480,000,000 pounds of
flour to feed our people. :
111 art 4 nM r '
ue jsa,zo.uuu ousneis on
baud July 1st will make, at 4 i
bushels for a barrel, 6,390,444
barrel vl,05,520,044 pounds of
flour which will lack 2,423,473,
956 pounds, of flour of being
enough to feed the people for 60
' days. .
Farmers will do well to re
member that the people of the
United States on the basis that
two thirds of tho bread they eat
is whaten, will require 466,-
492,537 bushels of wheat to
bread the present population on'o
year, and that for the p&at five
years the average yearly increase
in population ha been 1,367.-
922 and at that rate on July let
lUUo thete will be 84,610,922
people to eatenuugh jo consume
the flour from at least 600,000
000 bushels of wheat.
Remember, the lawu is to re
ceive but one hours irrigation.
The water in the reeivo most be
saved for fire protection. The
grass may burn up, but the
town niuet not be placed in jeopardy.
The water situation in this
city is becoming serious. The
fact of the matter is, this town
has out grown its present water
supply. At the present rate of
growlb, unless something is
done seon to meet thin demand,
La Grande will be a dry town
without any assistance from the
local option league. ; ' '-.;

The railroad sitnation at Elgin
continues to be interesting. It
is almost a surity that the real
battle is on between, the North
ern Pacific and the O. R. &N.
From all 'indications the Wal
lowa Valley Railroad is backed
by the Northern Pacific. What
ever the names or the backing
it seems as if a railroad into the
Wallowa valley is almost a cer
tainty. :"' ..' - '7 :.v -
