houses focus the trade and commercial
attention of Union and Wallowa coun- j
ties upon this city in a most emphatic
way, establishing La Grande as the
commercial trade center and hub of
the district. In addition to that, La
Grande becomes known as a trading
center by manufacturers throughout
the United States, because the lines
carried are largely shipped direct to
La Grande fiom all parts of the coun
try, j
"Trading centers grow around the
wholesale business. Wholesalers be
come the core of community develop
ment. Manufacturers and other evi
dences of community growth general
ly follow as a result of the concen
tration and centralization of trade to
ward the town that has the wholesale
establishments.
"The economic savings to consum
ers because the wholesale grocery
houses are located in La Grande, run?
into an enormous figure.. Sixty per
cent of our lines sell as cheaply in La
Grande as they do in San francisco,
'Seattle, or Portland. This would be
an impossibility if the wholesale
shipments were not a fact. In addi
tion to this 00 per cent, there is an ad
ditional 20 per cent whereon are sav
ed from 30 to 40 cents per cwt. Thy
balance of the lines handled are based
on Portland prices plus freight from
Poi Hand to La Grande.
"The total average number of em
ployes necessary to conduct the two

penditures necessary to operate the

ed this fall considerably move than
a year ngo. Total acreage not targo
however.
MORROW (Heppner) Condi
tions have been ideal for fall seed
ing. More moisture at this time
than 1 have known for a good many
years. Tho very early rail seeding
did not do quite so well and a few
farmers had to re-seed.
(Lexington) The seeding was
very poor on account of moisture.
Only seeded one-half of my sum
mer fallow and expect to leave rest
till sluing. 100 percent moisture
for the tirst of December. The
growth of .plants very small.
SHKHMAN Tho present moisture
supply for this time of year is more
than usual. Had over 4 inclios in
November. Nearly nil wheat is up
lint not ns far advanced as lastj
fall. Some early sown wheat will
have to be re-seeded.
UMATILLA (Pilot Rock) The
moisture at early seeding wasn't1
very plentiful. At the .present there
is plenty. Farmers that took chances
tin the early dry seeding, have
grain that looks better than It has
for the past few years in this part.
(Pendleton) Our crop is in poor
' shape on account of weeds und
spotted. We re-seeded about 15 iper
rent and expected to re-seed more
but on account of snow had to
Mop. Snow helped a lot.
I'NION Ideal seeding- conditions
where summer fallow was plowed
early. Pome dry land had to be
worked down after rains. Moisture
plentiful now. Wheat well alosg.
stand too thick in a few places,
weeds bad In others.
WALLOWA Was very dry at
reeding time. Ocly about 60 per
cent came tip. Have plenty of
Moisture at present. Plants are
ery small and puny.
WASCO The early sown wheat
. is quite uniformly poor due to dry
ground at seeding time. Some grain
was re-eeded on that account.
Kains did not come until late cans
inn much extremely late seeding
which was barely up when tbe snow
, came.
