Some Spuds
Tomorrow we are going to have a
potato for dinner at our house. And
there will no doubt be enough for
potato cakes on Monday and possibly
enough for hash on Tuesday. The
potato came from the garden of Meek
brothers near Wallowa, G. C. Meek
being one of the Observer corre
. spondents. A large box brought
three of the potatoes, one weighing
four pounds, one two and a half, and
one, two pounds. These three were
samples of Peach-Blow potatoes from
tho Meek place and were grown on
non-lrrlgatcd land six miles east of
Wallowa, These three are only a part
of. the potatoes produced ln one hill
and the field has had but little rain
fall since the seed was planted. They
are certainly fine specimens.

of September, however, with only

Machinery

In the United States the survey of
farmers Intentions to plant winter
wheat this fall Indicates a email de
crease ln acreage compared with last
year. Assuming the normal abandon- .'
ment of about 12 per cent and aver
age yields production would amount
to about 810,000,000 bushels. This
added to normal spring wheat pro
duction ln an area equal to this year
would make total wheat production
next year approximately 786,000,000
bushels or 70,000,000 more than this
year, but about one hundred million '
bushels below average.
Stock of wheat In Russia and the
Danube countries are smaller than a .

United States had a carryover of 33.- '.
000,000 bushels or about 300,000,000

The normal domestic use of wheat
Is estimated at about 660,000,000
buBbels a year. Exports have been
