Gilliam County Farmer Who Has Vis ited Different Parts of State, Pre dicts a Bumper Crop This Year. Most of It Over Fourteen Inches High at Present ' . . Wheat buyers are contracting with eastern Oregon farmers for the crop of 1909 at 1 a bushel. Many wheat growers are glad to accept such a price for the growing grain, others will hold for a higher price. - "Dollar wheat doesn't tempt me at all," declared R. W. Cooke, one of the heaviest wheat-growers In Gilliam county. Mr. Cooke has several thou sand acres planted to wheat this year. Much of it, he says is now more than 14 inches high and promises an un usually good crop. "But I am . convinced, he added, "that the prospects for a crop in the wheat belt of the central states Is so poor that wheat raised In Ore gon this year will realize much better than SI per bushel. . With a suffi ciency of rain at the present stake of the wheat's growth Oregon should produce one of the largest crops In the history of the state. Under any conditions the crop should be good." With Mr. Cooke is P. H. Stephen son, a merchant and wheat raiser from Condon. The two have recently traveled over a large portion of the Oregon wheat belt, and say that gen erally speaking the prospects for a crop are unusually good. "I only met one man who was willing to accept a low price for his wheat," said Mr. Stephenson. "He Is a Wasco county farmer, and he had bad luck last year. He said that he would be willing to accept 80 cents a bushel for his crop, but he is the only man in the county, I dare say, who would accept- such a proposition." Oregon wheat growers who have been in Portland during the past week have estimated that the aver age cost of raising a bushel of wheat is 60 cents. This includes labor, fer tilizer (where used), harvesting ex penses and transportation, and al lows at the proposed selling price of $1 a bushel a very fair profit. Mr. Cooke declared that his land is making hlin' an annual profit of more than 10 per cent and that Its increase in value from year to year h' also, an asset. Some of his neigh bors, he says, have been coming to the cities to invest, but he has been putting his savings into more land in the neighborhood where he lives, and has been convinced from the returns that his policy is good. .
