wheat. The average yield of Lewiston
and Prairie spring wheat will be not
more than half a crop. The lower
country, including Tammany, Is now
harvesting fall wheat, averaging per
haps 30 bushels. Cool weather, with oc
cassional showers in the next 10 days,
may bring two-thirds to three-fourths
of a crop of all-sown wheat. There is
less summer fallow thaa usual and a
greater proportionate acreage of spring
wheat.
There is a small acreage in barley,
but it has a good stand, promising the
best yield of all grains. There is I
small acreage in oats with poor pros

is small. Corn has only recently been
grown in this region.
WHEAT IS PERFECTLT FILLED
Walla Walla County's Grain Crop
Will Be 1,000,000 Bushels.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. July 3.
(Special.) The winter wheat crop of
Walla Walla county will exceed that
of last year by over 1,000,000 bushels,
according to an estimate made after
driving over the county. The acreage
Is far greater than that of last year
and the quality Is excellent.
While the year has been one of the
dryest. according to weather bureau
records, in 40 years, the weather has
been unusually cool and wheat has
filled perfectly. The vast Eureka flat
district is estimated at an average of
26 bushels per acre. If not more. Other
sections are equally good, with the ex
ceptlon of the light soil around Wal
lula.
According to estimates made last
winter. 175,000 acres of winter wheat
was sown. Very little was winte
killed, and that where it was sown too
late. The crop last year was around
3.000,000 bushels and this year It is es
State's Gain May Be 50 Per Cent If
Rain Falls in Big Bend.
SPOKANE, Wash.. July 3. (Special.)
With approximately the same acreage
sown to wheat this year as last, the
crop in eastern Wasington at this time
Is one-third greater than last year.
If rain falls in the Big Bend country
in the next ten days the total wheat
crop for Washington will be at least 50
per cent larger than last year. To put
the yield into figures, approximately
40,000,000 bushels of wheat will be har
vested ia Washington, if the usual
moisture 4s forthcoming. Without rains
in the next fortnight, the yield should
total about 3S.000.000 bushels.
These figures include fall And spring
wheat combined. Winter wheat is made,
and estimates from reliable grain deal
ers and from bankers who are in close
touch with the fields are that winter
wheat will show an increase of from
80 to 100 per cent over last year. Spring
wheat will be at least 20 per cent less
than the vleld last year, but that in
part is 6'wing to a smaller acreage sown
to spring wheat, the farmers concen
trating more on winter wheat.
In the Palouse country all wheat
seems to be well out of danger, but the
acreage of spring wheat there Is not
large, comparatively speaking. Taking
the state as a whole, no one can speak
witr certainty on the probable yield of
spring wheat. The crop is not made.
It will be good, if expected rains come
soon; otherwise, many sections win be
hard hit.
In those counties of Idaho which bor
der on the Palouse section of Washing
ton both winter and spring wheat are
flourishing and the averages will equal
those in Washington. In the Lewiston
region complaints have come that the
crops have been scorched, and estimates
are that a falling off of 30 per cent in
the total wheat yield will De sulierea.
The oats crop in northeastern wasn-
Ington promises a 25 per cent increase
over last year. Little barley is grown.
In southern Washington oats and bar
ley are showing an increase per acre,
but reports are that the acreage has
decreased. One grain dealer, member of
a big firm, declares that the oats and
barley yields will not De large enougn

Canadians Hit Dry Act.
OTTAWA. July 3. By a vote of 23 to

fused to approve a measure confirming
orders in council passed during the war
which would continue In effect for 12
months after the signing of peace the
ban acainst transportation of liquor
from a "wet" to a "dry" province.
Seding conditions were exceptionally
good last fall and farmers took ad
vantage of the opportunity to get their
grain in the ground early.
It is estimated that there is possibly
a 10 per cent increase in acreage this
yar ovr last. So far as can be judged
t this time, there will be a fair crop
in practically every part of the county.
There are some sections where the
grain was badly frosted, but the loss
will be much smaller than was expected
a month ago. In the heavy lands there
are fields that will go 60 bushels to
the acre and nearly ail will go 40
bushels.
With the assurance of a good price
for wheat this year, there was little of
any other grain planted. There is some
barley and a little oats, the quality of
which is good but the acrag is small.
WALLOWA CROP NEEDS RAIN"
With Increased Acreage Yield May
Be 800,000 Bushels.
ENTERPRISE. Or.. July 3. (Special.)
Figures completed by Mac Hoke,
county agent, indicate that Wallowa
county has 60,000 acres in wheat in
1910 as against 50.000 in 1918. In 1918
there were 30.004 acres of fall and 20,
000 of spring wheat. In 1919 there is
20.000 of fall and 40,000 of spring
wheat.
Owing to continued dry weather the
p-ospect is poor. Without rain winter
wheat may not average more than 10
bushels. The spring wheat crop de
pends also on rain and can make a fair
crop with moisture.
Last year's crop was estimated at
60 per cent of normal and the total was
800,000 bushels. It should be as much
or more in 1919 with the increased
acreage.
Oats and barley look well and prom
ise a good crop if rain comes.

Fall Grain Reported Hard Hit In
Some Sections.
CONDON. Or., July 3 (Special.)
From present prospects the grain yield
in Gilliam county will bo about the
same as last year. There are fair crops
in sections where showers hit. Other
sections will be light. Shetler Flat has
the best yield for years, and May vine
and Blalock are fair. D. B. Thomas,
manager of the Farmers' elevator, re
ported 600.000 bushels shipped from
Condon last year when only half a crop
was raised.
Dry weather has hit fall grain pretty
hard, but spring grain is still In good
shape, and a rain within the next week
os- ten days would increase this yield

BAKER CROP BELOW NORMAL
Yield Falls Short, Despite Large
Gain In Acreage.
BAKER, Or., July 3. (Special.)
Prominent farmers and merchants of
this vicinity are almost unanimous in
the opinion that the oat, wheat and
barley crops of ths county will fall far
short of the normal output. In th
opinion of J. P. O'Bryant, proprietor
of the O Bryant Grain company of this
city, acrea&e has been Increased dunn
the past year 20 per cent, while the
yield will be from 40 to SO per cent
less than in former years.
The crop of fall and spring wheat
will be about one-half of that of pre
vious years. After nearly three months
without rain the dry land crops have
been practically destroyed while the
yield of irrigated lands will be 75 per
cent normal.
County Agriculturist Tweed and
Robert McGaughey of the Baker Mill
& Grain company, are of the same
opinion as is Mr. O'Bryant and state
that the figures given are a littte
better than will probably be the yield.

will remain for a longer period, but
by autumn always provided th Ger

that there will be more than a single

he could get away until late in Au

on the splendid morale of the men on
the Rhine, and expressed the belief
that every one of them, with very few
exceptions would volunteer to remain

MIDSUMMER is the time when poison
oak and poison ivy are most to be
dreaded by those who are susceptible
to their malignity. The irritation and
parspiration Induced by outdoor exer
cise render the skin exceedingly sus
ceptible to infection, even though one
may not come in direct contact with
these beautiful, but to be dreaded,
shrubs. There are many cases on
record where results from oak or ivy
poisoning have been most serious. If
vou have - reason to believe that you
have been exposed, or if you purpose a
trip where poison oak or ivy abound,
use Santlseptic Lotion on the face,
hands and other parts of the body
likely to be affected. If the infection
already has taken place, apply Santl
septic to the affected parts, and you
will receive almost instant relief from
the pain and the itching, and in a
short time the inflammation and the
fever will disappear, leaving your skin
in its normal condition. We cannot
too strongly recommend Santlseptic in
such cases. It3 use will unquestion
ably relieve and prevent much pain and
discomfort, and even more serious re
sults. Santlseptic also relieves the
irritation caused by the bites or stings
of mosquitoes, fleas and other insects;
it allays prickly heat, chafing, etc.
Once you have tried Santiseptic you
will find it insures skin comfort. San
tiseptic may be procured at almost any
drug store. If your druggist cannot
supply it, send 60 cents, with his name,
to the Esbencott Laboratories, Portland,
Or., for a full-size bottle, postpaid.
