mission yesterday It was decided to allow
tonging on the state oyster beds only

A delegation from the Sound and Wil
llpa Harbor oystermen asked the state
to assist in experimenting" wlUj the
transplanting of the Eastern oyster. The
oystermen want the state to help in
vestigate to determine the best method
along scientific lines of raising oysters.
The state agreed to put up $1500 for
this work if the oystermen would do like
wise. The oystermen who made the
proposal will meet goon to plan to raise
the $1500 necessary ' to meet .the amount

GRAIN OUTLOOK EXCELLENT
Walla Walla Farmers- Expect Best
Wheat Crop In Years.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., April' 4.
(Special.) April finds grain in the Walla
Walla Valley in better shape then for
years, and this season, declare farmers,
will see one of the best wheat crops
that has ever been harvested in the
Walla Walla Valley. While March was
unusually dry and warm, thy have no
fears on account of this, as the moisture
in the ground is greater than for years
on April L
This is due to the fact that all the
nain and snow of the Winter fell on un
frozen ground, and because there was
not one heavy thaw during the Winter.
Consequently, the moisture all went Into
the ground, as is evidenced by the fact
there have been no floods during the
Winter or the Spring.
Spring seeding is done, and the farm
ers say all that is needed now is warm
weather to bring the crops 'along In good
shape.
