A new variety of wheat that resem
bles the Joluestem lias been sown on 100
acres by- George Winder at his place
eight miles out from town The wheat
was secured from the government sev
eral years ago, but this is the first time
it has been planted on & somewhat ex
tensive scale,- go that a thorough test of
its milling qualities can be secured. Mr.
Wincier likewise" has 800 acres of Tur
key red and ,club that will- yield about
20 bushels per acre.
Mike Foster, nine miles out, has 900
acres of Dale and Turkey red that will
average 18 bushels. '
W, P. Benedict, 10 miles out, 400

spring and fall sowing that will aver
age around 14 bushels. -ys- i
. . XAok of Cultivation. . '
On the south side of the rivrrl'tha
showing, is not so good because of the
lack ' of cultivation and the fact that
the land is of mors recent planting, but
considering every thing the showing" is
extremely good and is better than Other
seasons.
V In this section A Balcom has 700
acres of wheat and barley. The wheat
will yield 13 bushela and the barley JD
bushels.
J. C. Williams lias 4S0 acres of the
same mixture that will yield a similar
number of bushels, from present pros
pects. O. P. Eoberts, with his half section
of club wheat, expects to secure a
yield of 15 bushels. ' ;
This year's barley crop Is expected
to ranfra from 25 to 80 bushels an acre
in the Echo section. Most of the barley
was sown in the fall and this will yield
the greatest crop, while the showing of
the spring sown will be about five bush
els less per acre. S-,. , ,
More spring wheat was sown in this
section than for several years, owing to
adverse sowing" conditions , during' ' the
fall months, which made the usual al
most exclusive planting of fall wheat
impossible. The total acreage, however,
Is greater than last season, and this is
expected to make Echo one of the great
primary shipping points in thfs section.
The harvesting of fall wheat i a now
going on and will soon become general
As the work ot the combines progresses,
the yields are shown to be better than
first estimates. . , : -
- No new wheat has been sold here be
cause of the low prices in effect i Nothing-
over 65c is now being offered for
new club. Because of the excellence
of the wreat growers believe they should J
get more money. ,
BEST PROSPECTS
IN THREE YEARS
IN MORROW COUNTY
By Hyman H. Cohen. "
Hppner.. Or. July 8. Best prospects
In throe years is the present outlook
for the wheat crop In the lone "and
Heppner country. ' ;
The output "of hay promises to ba the
heaviest ever harvested In this section
of the state. Not only is a very heavy
yield inr prospect, but indications are
that the quality will ba far above the
average. -i?-:. -"-'
Wheat that was aown In the fall will
produce from 15 to 80 bushels an acre
in the section along tha Heppner branch
and In the Eight Mile and Black Horse
country. While it Is very likely that a
number of fields will yield as high as
SO, bushels an acre, the average for
this section will scarcely run abova 18
bushels, -although soma interests are
prone to estimate it as high , as SO
bushela
The high figures are cut down ; by
poor , farming and there never was a
season where this character of work,
or lack; of It paid such nominal 're
turns. v'..'''';,':'i..'''''V-.'" ,;''7";' ' ':y
A very large percentage of this year's
wheat acreage Is what ilN commonly
called 'stubbled." This Is an attempt
of the graingrowers to make their work
lighter. Summer fallowed lands will
harvest their Heaviest output in this
section, from present indications.
Dry Wsathsr Affect. ,
"Were all the wheat of Morrow plant
ed durins the past fall or winter an
entirely different story mtfrht be writ
ten of the crop prospects but the out
look would be even better than at this
time.'' As has been' the case with other
sections of the Pacific northwest this
season, weather conditions during the
period when fall seeding and bther work
should have been under full motion
were so dry that operations were nigh
Impossible. Then came the very wet
spell, which -continued for ab long . a
period that operations in fall seeding
were much curtailed as a result More
spring seeding followed.
In its hay crop alfalfa," wheat and
ryt Morrow . county has complete sat
isfaction. ; Being largely a livestock
oountry, all interests felt tha plncH Of
a very small output during tha past few
seasons. Whenever livestock interests
suffer, ,'then tha Heppner . country
mourns, for it was this Industry that
firet.,gave Heppner its prominence.
Spring Wha'at Uncertain. V ;
It has been .again demonstrated to the
complete satisfaction- of all concerned
that this section? gets best results from
fall sown grain, and therefore there was
murti disappointment early in the sea-'
son when it became lmndsslble to sev
cufa the results desired. -
Just what the spring wheat crop will
do this sfeason it is too early to, even
make a guess. The heads are just form
ing and there's no telling what will
happen between now and harvest.
8pring wheat, however, in , Its present
condition, is fully up to the average of
former seasons,- but as has ben hereto
fore stated, this is not a spring wheat,
country. ; .
That great : bugaboo of tha wheat
grower the hot winds of midsummer
always strike greater terror to the
hearts of those' who have spring grain
than to sowers of fall Wheat Itls
when the wheat is just getting into the
"dough" that tha damage Ma done by
the .heat and the best of prospects can
be ruined within a stngle day when the
winds blow aa from a furnace.
- This should not be taken to Indicate
that th spring wheat crop of Morrow
will not continue to meet the expecta
tions of growers, because to date spring
sown prospects ara better than the av
erage. . "-"..',:'.
Sain would Help,
'Naturally a good rain would work
wonders with tha output of spring sown
wheat, but fall wheat is tod far ad-,
vanced to take advantage of showers at
this time, and there is always a chance
of Inflicting damage. - ? .
Down in the Lexington oountry Wil
liam Stauffer has about 1800 acres of
fall wheat that la estimated by various
parties to yield from 15 to CO bushels
an acre, and Jce Kskelson. another
prominent farmer of the same section,
lias expectations of the best crop In
years. W, T. Campbell, still another
of the big growers of Lexington, will
have a very good output this season.
".. All of the growers south from Hepp
ner to the . Columbia ' river are .very
thankful for present prospects, for It Is
the first good putlook they have had
for several seasons and to give vent to
a slang phrase, they .need the money.
Over, at Eight Mile, the prospects are
similar to other sections of Morrow, In
asmuch - as this year's outlook is the
best for a term of seasona F. P.
Vaughn with bis 600, acres Is expecting
to harvest, more than an average crop
this season, and C. C.' Jones of the same
section with 800 acres of wheat is de
lighted with prospects to date, although
more, rains would have been quite wel
oome recently,
In the Hardman 'country similar con
ditions 'rule, and naturally there is
cause for rejoicing after recent; lean
seasons. - - .-... .
Ot the old crop there Is verj? little
wheat remaining unsold In the territory
tributary to Heppner, although , small
lots are dally arriving in the city and
are being Sold at present low values. :
The wheat is clean. this season, and
this alcne is of Considerable interest to
the trade.v; No complaints, of any kind
have come from - wheat growers. Last
season much smut was shown,; and this
forced growers to sell at prlcea that
were shaded from No. 1 values.

ROOSEVELT TO MAKE
TOUR OF INDIANA IN
BEVERIDGE'S INTEREST
(United Preti Leased Wire.)
Indianapolis, Ind., July 8. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt it Is announced,
will make a speech making tour in be
half of Senator Beverldge. '
Democratic political , leaders ; in In
diana have been awaiting with consider-
erabls apprehension the announcement i
that Roosevelt was to invade Indiana I
and for some weeks past have been fig-1
uring on plans to counteract the effect
of his coming, should he decide to as
sist Beverldge. As a result it is prac
tically .devlded that the Roosevelt tour
will be followed immediately by a
speech" making round 'of the .state by
Governor Marshall, who will plead the
cause of John W. Kern, Bryan's last
vice presidential running mate, and the
man who aspires to Beveridge's toga.
To an outsider .this may sound like
stacking a battleship with bow and ar
rows, but to Hooslers it is a different
matter. Marshall was forced into the
governorship against his own wishes
by the Indiana Democratic machine,
which , was in desperate need of a com
promise candidate. Marshall responded
by ignoring and almost disrupting the
Indiana Democratic machine and giving
the state an, excellent nonpartisan ad
ministration. As a result he has achieved
tremendous ' popularity, and haa been
mentioned frequently as a" 1912 presi
dential possibility; He has studiously
avoided tha limelight, but it is believed
that if be sets out on the trail Of Colo
nel Roosevelt to many of whoso policies
he is violently oonosed. the fire will flv.
Despite this, the announcement that
Roosevelt is to enter the lists hera wm
most Unwelcome news to the Democratic
organization, The colonel has a tremen
dous popularity in Indiana, where the
Insurgent movement Is rapidly gaining
strength!, and the fact that, he has ap
parently decided to come out flat footed
for .. the progressive movement wilt In
crease his popularity, it Is said, . ; ,
' The issue here this fail Is the election
of a legislature, which will either re
turn Beverldge or choose a Democratic
suoeessor to him. John W. Kern, the
announced choice of the state .Demo
cratic convention for the aenatorahip,
is looked upon as something of a chronic
candtcata, and is also said to be a close
ally of Thomas Taggart the erstwhile
state boss, who has been practically un
horsed by Governor Marshall. Kern has
repudiated this Idea, and his statements
will have weight added to them Should
Governor Marshall enter the lists in his
behalf. , '' ,,
Indiana Is undoubtedly in a state of
political revolt. Even the regular Re
publican .leaders admit tills frankly. It
Is also said that a number of the old
line Fairbanks organisation men are out
to knife Beverldge.
Whether the revolt will be capitalised
by Beverldge under tha insurgent ban
ner or by Kern under the Democratic is
a question admitted to hinge largely on
the ability of Rooaevelt as a political
prestidigitator.
