Madras, Or., July 20. This ection
of Crook county, during the coming har
vest, will reap the greatest crop of
grain in Its history. It is estimated
at the present time that the wheat
yield will be 400 per cent greater than
the largest production heretofore re
corded In the Agency Plains country.
which each year Is adding to Its title
of central Oregon's grain producer.
Weather Tavorable.
The phenomenal output this season
has been brought about by timely rains
and favorable weather. A year ago,
prospects for a wheat yield above the
average were good until the first of
July. Prior to that time there had been
sufficient moisture to bring the grain
up to standard and expectations were
running high when a continued hot
spell, augmented by hot winds, withered
the stalks. The crop in consequence
was practically a failure.
During all of this spring, however,
and early summer there have been re
freshing rains at interval. June closed
with everything favorable for a big
yield and when July opened with fre
quent showers which headed the grain
and sent the stalks upward the country
became Jubilant. In
Julv. which is always
rlod. closed with plenty of moisture
week of
the critical pe
recorded and since that time farmers
have been content to estimate tho
enormous yield which will grace this
section of the county this year.
Transportation Lacking.
The one creat drawback to the pros
perous grain conditions as the lack of
transportation racinties to carry mis
Immense yield of a comparatively small
section to the market. The terminal of
the Columbia Southern at Shanlko Is
from 80 to 60 miles distant and fully
10 per cent of the entire yield of grain
will have to be transported to that
point by wagon.
It Is estimated that the mill located
here and the one In Prlnevllle will
handle about 100.000 bushels of the out
nut. The balance. In order to be con
verted into cash, will have to be hauled
to Shanlko at a coat of 60 cents par
bushel. Even at this discouraging cost
to the producer, it Is believed that 60
cents per bushel will be realized, this
section being enriched to the extent of
J600.000 when the crop is finally dis
posed of to buyers.
lines to provide the section with ade
quate means of transporting its prod
ucts. The enormous work which will
be entailed this year In getting the
wheat production to market. Is a typical
example of the manner In which the
whole of Crook county Is constantly
handicapped In its development efforts.
There Is little doubt but that the
railroad officials from the Harriman
system who are now visiting in this
part of the state, will be forcibly Im
pressed with the overwhelming need of
teel rails, but whether the visit Is
more than the usual semi-annual bluff
is difficult to determine.
Heavy Yield to the Acre.
Many of the ranches In this vicinity
will harvest 40 bushels to the acre
and this year's production, which In
reality Is a test of what the district
Is capable of producing, has sent land
values soaring and stimulates busi
ness generally. Any question heretofore
raised relative to what the country is
really worth, has been removed and the
wheat acreage next year. It Is said,
will be nearly double that of this year.
The most sanguine ones predict tnat
within a few years Crook county will
rival Umatilla in Its production of
wheat and this season's output does
not fall to indicate that such will be
the case when all of tho available lands
In this region are converted Into wheat
ranches.
