A NfeW WHEAT blSCOVErlED
J-A'new wheat, said to produce
rt hiiflhela to Hie acre, has
been discovered by a man
fTiiiifiPtta. Tflalio. If tile new
wheat proves tb be as good as
reporied1, ahcl will grow in any
climate, it will triple the wheat
yield of America.
f The hew wheat is bearded,
ind the heads are many times
as lafge as b cl6b wheat liend,
Ihe brry Ulao being larger than
that of brdinaiy wheat. No
inill test of the -grain has ever
tbeen ma3e, altliough the chem
ist at the Idaho experiment atd-
1 (ion bus hmde tl vefattering
he,HiifcQl a'nalyois.
'Xlib hitUc-ry of the discovery
singly Btalk of the "Alaska"
wheat, as it is called, wasJound
in 1004, The seed was planted
and the next year it yielded
seven pounds. This was sowed
hi Spring of 1000, and 1545
pounds was harvested. This
was sowed in Fall, and the fol
lowing 3'ear Mr. Adams secured
enough seed to sow 700 acres,
which is now ready to harvest.
It is estimated that the wheat
will yield 100 bushels to the
acre.
Mr. Adams, however, is a bus
iness man as well as a farmer.
He proposes to give his wonder
ful discovery to the world, nt
the price of $20 per bushel, no
pni chaser to secure more than
one bushel. As liis 700 acre
crop will produce 70,000 bush
els, Mr. Adams will break into
the millionaire class with one
season's crop.
It might be menti6ned iuci-
dentally that none of the wheat
will be imported in'o Crook
county until we get a railroad.
MADRAS COUNTRY ALL RIGHT
The opinion that the wheat
district of Crook county will
prove to be one of the very best
in ihe state, is gaining ground.
This, year, when crop'conditions
were unfavorable throughout
Eastern Oregon, the crops of
this section compare favorably
with those of the older and bet
ter known districts of Eastern
Oregon. People qualified to
judge, who have been through
the wheat sections of Morrow,
Gilliam and Sherman counties,
say that the yield will be bet
ter than . in any of those dis
tricts. Threshing has not yet
begun in this section, but con
servative estimates place the
yield at not less than 60 per
cent of last year's, when a
bumper crop was harvested.
Tlie Madras country is com
paratively a new wheat dis
trier, and it takes time to learn
the best methods of farming in
any country. But the Madras
country has "made good" in a
year when the most optimistic
had small expectations. This
section is iorging ahead, and
with adequate transportation
acUities ic will become one of
the biggest wheat producing
districts of the state.
WHEAT PRICES WIC.C BE HIGH
That wheat piices will reach
90 cents this season at Pendle
ton, Walla "Walla, and other
Inland Empire wheat centers, is
he prediction of the market
editor of one of the Portland
papers. He bases his predic
tion upon present market con-
ditions and the export trade.
Last week wheat sold at Pen
dleton at 80 cents, the highest
price paid in 10 years. Much
wheat is changing hands at
that price, althodgli a number
of farmers are Holding for 85
cents. Although the Inland
Emrjire wheat crop is not as
arge as that of last year; prices
i
will Viu an mn nli buffer that the
v A a ww w -
season will be as prolitable as
the previous one.
