Pendleton. Or.. March 20. -Thousands of
acres of wheat land in Umatilla county are now
being feseeded. or will be ia the next few
weeks, because of the Injury done by the cold
nd winds of the long winter. There Is not a
wheat community in the county tbst hss es
caped- damage, and hardly a fanner but will
have some of his land to reseed.
With wheat worth better than $1.50 a bushel,
the expense pf reseeding will mean a big loss
to farmers. There will be the additional loss
of lesser yields, for spring sown grain rarely
makes within 10 bushels of the acre yield of
fall sown grain.
Umatilla county farm lands have suffered sll
winter from the Isek of a snow blanket.
Though all other parts of eastern Oregon, east
ot this county, have been under anow aince No
vember, the snows tbst have fallen locally
have been of abort duration. This left the
sprouting wheat unprotected during periods of
cold snails snd cold winds. The cold winds
tbst swept the county four days last week did
the crowning damages
Club Suffers Host.
The club varieties of wbest seemed to bsve
suffered more than any otber variety. The
hybrids . lnvsrisbly sre reported as having
weathered tba winter In good shape. Mavny
farmera are still uncertain ss to wbebber they
will have to reseed any of their fields. There
has n.t yet been enough Warm weather to de
termine definitely whether the grain will
sprout. The surface is hard and baked, and
this may be what la keeping soma of the
grain from sprouting. One farmer reports
that one field ot hla gram, which an Invest!
ration showed to bo moulded, is now soroutina.
The rain last night was the most beneficial
rata ot the tea sua. While not heavy. It was
warm and fell gently. It will do muck toward
soaking up the hard ground, and may bring oat

Lowell Roc era is reseeding 800 acres, J. 0.
Hales is reseedlbg -SOO and George Peringer Is
reported starting to' reseed nearly 1000.
The heaviest damage is reported ia the
section northwest of Pendleton in the vidnltv
of Helix. The cold winds of last week are
sold to hsve literally uncovered whole fields
of grain. From Athena, Adams, Weston and
Milton, however, come reports ot extennife
teseedtng.
The west end of the county, where alfalfa ts
the principal product, is slao reported to bare
suffered severely. The wind storm last week.
which lasted tour days, is said by old timers
to nave been -the worst in the history of the
Umatilla project. The sandy soil vrss blown
badly, snd tiis tender alfalfa shoots were left
bared to their roots. A great deal Of reseeding

Backward Spring Is
Reducing Planting
'
Rtdrefleld. Wash.. March 28. farmers are
getting uneasy over so much rain, which baa
fallen In tbla part ot the country for more
tl an a week, and aio inclined to think that
a backward spring will be the result. The
lsst week, was one of cold, blustery weather.
with a heavy precipitation, which has rn-
tarded farming operations, very little wheal
will be planted this spring, owinsr to the In
element weather during the early ' planting
season. ' Oonstderablo land has not -bean
plowed. Which farmers expected to plant to
wheat. Many acres' that were Intended for
wheat Will be seeded, to oats, and for this
leswin a heavy oats crop Is forecssted. All
land, fit tor i potatoes wtu probably be ased
this year. Included in this will be many acres
of new land clesred the past winter.
The potato acreage 11.1s year will be the
largest in the blstury if the country around
here. It i said by growers familsr with local
conditions.
Fruit men art quits talisfled with tbt cool
