. yrara ago during the. "bumper" season.
17.00 sacks or about 4CU.009 bushel
were sent forth. Indications this rear
are for shipments of 40,tt00 sacks or

showing of wheat this aeason--about
one ourth of the-volume of two years
ago but a fair Increase over ths produc
tion Of l08. V .
Personal observation and Interviews
with leading grain growers and dealers
would Indicate an average yield of about
eight bushels per acre, although wheat
win no cui mai wui not pnrauce mure
-than four or five bushels tOthe acre.
- Several Instances are noted where
farmers will harvest wheat that will
not go over one sack or two bushels per
'.acre. ; , . :--i,r
Only la extraordinary ' sessions,' xf
wmcu me present year is one, wpuia
It be possible to harvest any such crop
and make it pay. Dollar prices will ac
complish much, however, and much more
wheat will be cut than usual when such
a small percentage of production is
noted. a
E arrest Already Started.
1 Harvest has already started here, but
will not become general until after July
4. ,Bome few are cutting but labor suf
ficient to handle any large amount of
work will be scare until after natal day
holidays. " - , - .
Practically . all the fall sown .-- grain
in this vicinity la ripe and ready for the
harvester. Hot wlnds-the fear of all
would do little damage. Some of the
wheat could possibly be shriveled by the
warm blasts, but that Would be the ex
tent of the damage. , t.
K. fvorayhe, upon part of whose ranch
the townBite of - Lexington is laid, has
250 acres In Fortyfold that is rather
be.dly mixed as to the amount produced.
About 0 acres of it will run between
five and ten bushels to the acre, but
the remainder, will "be unfit to cut
J. M. White has 1400 aeres.of forty
fold and bloestem, but principally the
former. Out of this total 1100 acre will
bo profitable to cut and will give forth
on an average et probably five bushels
an acre this 'not counting the acreage
Which will remain unharvested. v
Russian thistle' has " again, Y played
havoc with the wheat of this section.
lone. Or.; July 2. Unfavorable weath
et conditions, aided by a shortage of
water and a lack of proper cultivation,
have cut down the wheat yield in this
section of Morrow county. This applies
more 'to the section of Morrow lying be
tween lone and the Columbia than to
the southern portion. -
In the northern district the yields of
wheat will not range much above Ave
or six bushels to the acre,, and were this
showing made in any other aeason but
this, the larger portion of the wheat
there would remain uncut
Even as matters stand with the high
est prices in years possible some of the
larger tracts are unprontame to cut
One owner of an. $00 acre planting said
he would, not harvest, this year. The
aggregate of uncut acreage will run
into the thousands.
Along Rhea-creelt.-:the- showing Is
much better. Fr&nk Mason, who Is
farming about (00 acres1 ' along Rhea
creek. 10 miles from lone, Is confident
that he will average 11 to 11 bushels,
and a magnificent showing Is noted on
ins vo acre tract or wiuiam fadDerc,
13 miles from here. Mr. Padberg's place
is believed to be one of the best In Mor
row county this season.- He expects a
ZS bushel average. '
- Miny fine showings- of alfalfa are
also7 along Rhea creek. although even
the excellent output there will not make
any material difference " In Morrow's
light yield this season. - '
Along Willow creek George Swaggart
has about 00 acres in wheat and al
falfa. --iv....
R. W. Roblson. IS miles out on Rhea
creek, has a very good showing of bar
ley, both as -regards quality and quan
tity.. He Is ofta of the oldest settlers In
this section. V
The showing of wheat In the northern
part of the County la better than was
expected a short time ago, when it was
not believed that anv of the grain would
be fit ! to cut Good growing weather
in the district early In the season when
other sections were .shivering with cold
probably gave the plant-- sufficient ' vi
tality to rarry tt -through. Cool nights
during recent weeks have freshened up
wheat Considerably. Taken as a whole
the soil shows a wonderful degree' of
growing power and : when viewed In
light or the absence of rain at critical
times, the showing la even more wonder.
iul . ; v ! v. ..
XTo contracting Time Tar.
As In other sections visited there has
been no contracting of wheat here thus
far the present season. Buyers are not
disposed to make offers because they
realise it would be a waste , of enerrv to
bid less-than tl a bushel and- the mar-
et has not yet reached that figure, al-
mougn growers say it is traveling fast
in mat direction.

Such Is. the opinion of RIshon Wil

Episcopal preacher, -
"To speak of voting as a right Is
ridiculous," the bishop continued. ; "The
ballot privilege is conferred by the state
on those it considers qualified to exer
cise it. The privilege of voting entails
that of being voted for. It means, there.
rore, potentially, women congressmen.

SHOULD I: BUY A LOT. NDBUILD
AHOMEATWESTMORELAND?
The following reasons will conclusively answer" that question:
i 1. BECAUSE your investment will be better than a .banlc,
account, Westmoreland property will rapidly advance in value.
" Portland is drawing its immense increase in population from . . ,
every state in the union. The whole country is therefore behind
Portland; the city is bound to grow, it has grown, it Is growing,
' and it's going to grow still faster, with a solid, permanent in-- '
crease. In finding a home, future Portlan4ers will follow the
line of least resistance they will flock to the .most accessible
point. 1 ' ' . ; -
' 2. Westmoreland enjoys the advantages of suburban life,
and yet it is nearer the heart of the city, than any other addition
placed on the market in the past two years.
" 3. Westmoreland has by far the best transportation facili
ties in the city.. Fifteen-minute service within one year twenty
minutes now. , Qars heated in winter. Westmoreland is easy to
; reach. ' - - - .. v".-;-
14. The Madison bridge draw opens at least one third less
frequently than those of the other bridges. : Westmoreland resi
dents will thus have fewer delays.;; Had you thought of this?;
,15. Westmoreland residents will pass through only the best
parts of Portland to reach their homes. ' . :
- 16. - Westmoreland is lighted at night ' ;
17;, Westmoreland edges on: the beautiful Crystal Springs
Lake and Johnson's Creek. .
18. The balance of Ladd's Crystal Springs Farm, of which
Westmoreland is a part, will go on the market at prices ranging
at least 50 per cent higher than Westmpreland property; more
than that, Westmoreland is much nearer the heart of Portland
than the rest of theiarm.- v -
4. , Cars are large, roomy and swift They pass the prop-'
erty not a block to walk.
5. There is fine scenerjr along the carline to Westmore
land. The property lies near the river. v
:. 6. Westmoreland soil is gooo-your trees, shrubs,, grass,
' flowers and garden will grow.
7. There is a good automobile road direct to the property.
, 8. Natural drainage, . - ,
9. Unexcelled beauty of surroundings, unapproachable
1 view of the mountains for a distance of hundreds of miles, and
this view can never be shut off.
10. Westmoreland improvements will be a 'decided innova
tion. The platting and character of improvements follow closely'
those of the college suburbs of Los Angeles every home will be
" unique and in a class by itself. . . -V ' ' t J v "
11. : Westmoreland is not troubled by those east winds that
blow down through the Columbia river drawand which mak? ,
some suburban property so unattractive in winter Westrnpre- -
19. There is absolute assurance of high-class homes at
-Westmoreland the restriction is $1500. . , , ,
; 20. Westmoreland improvements go in immediately. You
will not have to wait two or three years for them. : -
