ccordlng to the estimate of State
3raln Inspector John W. Arrasmith,
who has Just returned from a trip
hrough the Walla Walla and other
ereal regions of the state.
"The growers' income from their
wheat fields will be about the same,"
said Mr. Arrasmith, "as during any
average preceding year. ' Ordinarily
e raise about 33,000,000 bushels, but
he farmer 'does not get as much for
t as the price for which he Is selling
his season. Notwithstanding that the
prices were good, even high, last year,
the growers are getting from 8 to 10
ents more a bushel this year. ' Wheat

bleached out by the rains, was soft,
and carried a low percentage of glu

The crop of oats this year, Mr. Ar
rasmith says, will be only half what
It was last season. Last year's crop
showed a ton to the acre. This year
there will be but half a ton, or 30
bushels, to the acre, Barley statistics
show the same falling off.
Figures have Just been received at
the grain Inspector's office from all
the warehouses of the Northern Pa

in Washington's wheat belt, showing
the exact amount ot last season's
wheat delivered to the roads for
shipment to be 17,881,921 bushels,
State Inspector Arrasmith estimates
that 8,000,000 bushels stayed In the
wheat belt This was delivered to the
local mills, and used as feed and as
seed by the farmers.

R. H. Weber ot this city, who la 1
member of the state board of hortt
culture, says that the proposed In
crease In the freight rate on apple
will not greatly affect the Oregon
fruitgrowers, relate The Dalle Chron
icle.
"The apple grower of Oregon will
not feel the Increase In freight rate,'
said Mr. Weber in speaking with 1
Chronicle reporter Saturday, "for the
reason that Oregon apple are snipped
directly to New York, to the wealthy
classes. . ;
"We do not ship to the middle west
and It Is through the middle west,
from Oregon to Chicago, that the
freight rates on apples are to be in
creased, No, It is my opinion that the
Oregon apple growers will not be af
fected by an Increase In rates."
