HAPPY INS
FOR BIG CROP
JOHN WOItTII KERN'S LATEST.
Forty-Five Million Bushels
Are Predicted as the Min
imum Wheat Output in
the Pacific Northwest
This Year.
By Hymnn II. Cohen.
While it la Impossible at time to
secure definite figures on the wheal
crop, It Is practically certain that the
Paclflo northwest will this season pro
duce a crop of between 45,0(10,000 anJ
48,600.000 bushels, as compared to 60,
000.000 bushels a year ago.
Considering everything- weather con
ditions principally this Is a remarkable
showing and Indicates that a failure of
crops Is well nigh Impossible, in the
Pacific northwest, even under conditions
that would stagger the producer of
wheat In almost any other section of
the world.
One of the remarkable lessons that
the present season teaches. Is the fsct
that a crop sown In the full months
will produce almost twice as much grain
as that sown during the spring period.
In seasons when the rainfall is normal,
there is of course a very good crop
gathered from the seed sown In the un
certain spring. There hits been a din
position among the producers of Ore
gon in lute years to sow most of the
fraln during the fall months, but over
n Idaho and Washington the tendency
has been to do the work In the early
spring.
Bxoeeds Expectations.
Even as matters stood the Pacific
northwest has nothing but cause to re
joice, for the production of wheat l.
far greater than even the most opti
mistic had believed possible six weeks
ago. While there was much alarm felt
by some on account of the many ad
verse conditions, it has been shown
that there was much more fear thun
actual damage.
Taken as an entirety there never won
a better season to conduct the harvest
of wheat and other grains than during
the crop year now at its height. While
the summer weather has been warm in
every portion of eastern Oregon, east
ern Washington and Idaho, practically
no damage was Inflicted upon the crop.
In fact had there been a normal rain
fall of about ti inches Instead of an av
erage decrease through the growing sec
tions there is no doubt that the three
states of the north coast would have
produced a 75,000,000-bushel wheat crop
far the greatest In Its history.
The lack of sufficient moisture pulled
down the production to a considerable
extent, but the more than fair harvest
weather enabled the producers to secure
more of their wheat than would have
been the case tinder normal harvest con
ditions. It is uusually the rule for
the rains to come shortly alter the
opening of the harvest season but a
far as weather conditions are concerned
the past season has been contrary to
any heretofore existing.
In a season llko the one Just passing
another lesson of great moment has been
learned by the grain producers the
matter of cultivation. While the Pa
cific northwest is noted for the even
ness of its climate, there is a season
hern and there when the wires g-t
twJsted somewhat. This was one of
them.
It is noted quite clearly in every field
where cultivation has been carried on
In the proper manner that the produc
tion was little, if any, In default of
even the bumper yield of a yoar ago.
Perliips the county in the northwest
where cultivation was carried out in
the best manner this season was Wasco.
Although that county had no more mois
ture than other sections of the wheat
belt, the crop of 1908 compares favor
ably to that of a year ago. There are
other counties which show quite good
growth of wheat, compared with the
previous season. Among these, nd per
haps in the very first place next to that
occupied by Wasco, Is Umatilla. Next
in line of successful growth and per
haps neck snr neck with Umatilla In

county of Washington state, Wall.i'
Walla.
Walla Walla's Showing.
Considering everything, the showing
of Walla Walla county is the most re
markable of the entire group of wheat
producing counties. A large per cent
of this county Is of the light land or
der. Its principal producer for the
record-breaking vield of a year ago was
In the light land section, whlcH this
year, because of the insufficient sup
ply of moisture, did not produce so
heavy a crop. In fact predictions were
freelv made earner in tne summer that
the ilght land sections would scarcely
produce sufficient wheat to pay the
cost of harvesting. That all this was
Imply talk is noted by the returns of
the harvest, for yields as high as 35
and 40 busnels have been actually re
ceived this year from some of these
light land field -"hough of course the
average production there scarcely
reached more than 15 bushels and in
some instances the wheat was not fit
to harvest.
Even with lack of rains which pulled
down the yield somewhat. Walla Walla
county Is at this moment In the midst
of a harvest that will give fortli about
4,000.000 bushels of wheat, as ngalnst
1.600.000 more bushels during last year,
when nature was most kind. I'matlll
county will produce between 3.600,000
and 4.000.000 bushels of wheat this year,
as against 6,000.000 bushels a year
ago. and a normal output of 4,5.
bushels.
Labor Plentiful.
While nature seemed too. tired to
give forth Its usual amount of rain,
wheat producers were more than fa
vored In another way Labor was plen
tiful and this of course resulted In
prices being scale.! considerably from
the rulings a year ago At that time,
even with the high prices in effect,
producers e-xperlenoed considerable trou
ble In securing sufficient labor to har
vest the crop before the rains came and
consequently some of the growing grain
was spoiled and never entered the mar
ket. Then again, another help to the prod
uction or wheat In the Pacific north
west this season Is that growers are
trying to secure varieties more suited
to their lands than has heretofore been
sown there Pome of the wheat grown
In recent years has shattered too much
during the threshing or work of the
combine, while some wheats would not
tand long enough for the harvest ma
chines to get to them, and consequent
ly there u a waste of product. This
condition Is being remedied more and
more each season but the greatest Im-
rrovement has been made during the
OS crop year.

"Klamath Falls," says C. S. Jackson,
who is very enthusiastic about the trip,
"is a live town of sbout 2.500 people.
It has the good fortune to have a live
chamber of commerce which looks after
the comfort of strangers. Is very alert

them to good advantage. The town haa

"There is not only an abundance of

settled and very rich and prosperous.
"One trouble Is that the reople are
more or less used to the old environ
ment. Some of them are trying to con
duct Irrigated farms on horseback.
Most of them are endeavoring to cover
too much land instead of being content
with 40 acres or less.
"Another need of that part of the
country Is mor an 1 better roads. They
spend enough mor.ev on roads but cover
too much around and do not build roads
as they should be built. It would be
better If thev would spend $25,000 a
year and get five miles of good roads,
rather Uinn to spend the same amount
and get a hundred miles of the kind of
roads thev have now."

"The water of the lake Is approached
by a trail about 2,600 feet in length,
exceedingly strep and quite thrilling
to the pedestrian, particularly when he
looks down at tho water far below,
dancing and glistening like a great mir

"Patches of snow are to be seen for
miles on all sides. When we were there
there were no mosquitoes or horselTles.
It frequently snows at Crater lake In
August, but so far there has been no

Is nothing like it in the world. The won

"The government Is spending only $3,

"As an example of Medford's pro
gressiveness. a gravity water works
system is about to be Installed at a
cost of J300.000. And, to show that the
people who have the work in charge are

"The progress that has been made In
horticulture is wonderful, vet the
ground has as yet hardly been
scratched. Be it said to the credit of
a few Portland people who are almost
pioneers In this great Industry, many
of the best orchards are owned and con.
ducted by people who were once resi
dents of Portland.
"what tho near past is to me pres
ent, the present Is to the future In the
production of the apple and the pear in
Rogue River valley. The fame of this
wonderful fruit will be spread to the
four corners of the earth. In short, the
Rog-ue River valley's market is the
world, with no diminution In the de
mand, no matter how great the supply.
"And there are other sections of Ore
gon engaged In fruit production and to
engage In It that will be as great bene
ficiaries as Rogue River, with no chance
of the supply ever catching up with
the demand for these particular
products. The people of Oregon have
on)y to wake up and keep a-going."
