Senalofrillman's refusal to abandon
a 1300.000 Improvement at the Charles
ton navy yard, and a demand of ths

the house, whereby one battleship will
be agreed to.

NORTHWEST WHEAT
CROP IS 74.000,000 -
BUSHELS FOR 1912
(Continued From Page One.)
els of wheat, compared with 18,750,000
bushels a year ago, while Idaho's total
of wheat is but 11,300,000 bushels, or
1,700,000 bushels less than a year ago,
The decrease In Idaho Is the result of
too much rain at seeding time, causing
a diminished acreage. The acres sown,
however, have produced practically 10
per cent more wheat than tn corre
spondlng number of acres did in 1011
Curiously, the grain situation In Idaho
last year was Just about as Ideal as it
wan In Oregon this season. At that time
with soil and perfect rains, not only was
the acreage the greatest on record, but
the output per acre broke Idaho's previ
ous records, Considering this, the shovr
ing ef 113 is not nearly as poor as first
glance would indicate,
Oregon's light Land Showing.
Tn Oregon the light lands have grown
a wonderful average per acre. Sections
that have been practically off the wheat
map for three or four years owing to the
very poor conditions during those pe
riods, are this year harvesting wheat
crops that vie in heaviness and overtop
in quality the sections where no crop
failure was ever known.
The greatly Increased output of wheat
In Oregon would not exist tltls season
were It not for the central section. In
central Oregon there Is a bumper produc.
tlon. In the vicinity of Redmond and
Madras ground that was raw in the ex
treme, containing nothing but sagebrush
and Juniper trees even as late as Febru
ary of tha present year, Is showing
wheat yields that average as high ss 30
bushels per acre. The Deschutes coun
try 6hould have the prize for producing
the greatest crop of wheat per acre on
land farmed for the first time. This
was trus on dry lands as well as irri
gated. "
The light land sections of the North
west generally have excellent grain
yields. Ths only trouble with the
heavier lands in most Instances was
that the wheat grew so well thnt even
with heavier straw than usual the
weight of the grain was such that the
heads could not bs upheld. This was
true especially between Pendleton, or.,
and Walla Walla and Dayton, Wash. To
a less degree the same condition was
notlccnble In the heavier lands on Eu
reka flat.
Substantial Barley Increase.
The barley crop of the Pacific North
west this season totals about 14,300,000
bushels, compared with 11,360,000 a year
ago. While Washington had a slight
Increase over 1911, the better crop was
In Oregon the coarse grain situation be
ing similar to that in the wheat fields.
Oats total 30.000.000 bushels this sea
son, or 1,500,000 bushels greater than
the 1111 crop. Theismsll Increase Is
due to the smaller A-eage In Idaho.

states totals 609,000 bushels, compared
with 430,000 bushels a year ago. As
with the other grains the Beaver state
made the, beat showing of increase.
Too much cannot be said regarding
eorn planting in ths Paclflo northwest.
There is a muoh bigger acreage snd
prospects are excellent for heavy yields.
Up to this time most of the corn plant
ing has been done on ground set out in
young fruit .trees, the space between
the rows being utilized for the coarse
Oereal. If corn can be successfully
grown where there Is partial shads, it
la therefore demonstrated that It is a
crop that will bear watching in the
