SPOKA5E MAS SATS WHEAT OUTLOOK IS KOT SERIOUS Spokane, June 18. iNo alarm over the con dition of wheat is eastern Washington is felt by grain men in touch with tit situation, ia spit of an official report from the state grain inspector'a office to the effect that the situ ation is critical. "1 do not regard th situation a at all criti cal." said N. A. Robetrs of the Northern Grain A Warehouse company here today. "Kain is needed, it ia true, but it may come in 10 days, and still save the gram. I am not looking for a bumper crop, however. There has been some frot damage, but on the whole 1 retard the situation aa fairly satisfactory." "Some rain hu , fallen in the Watervill country and has extended into the Mansfield dis trict," said K. J. Stephens of th Stephens Smith Grain company. "Rain is needed in nearly all districts but if it comes within the next lO days, it will be time enough, especially if the weather remains as coo! as it in now." BUMPER CROP IS INDICATED IX MARION WHEAT FIELDS Quinaby. Or.. June 18. Heavy shower dur ing the past week 'have mate a bumper wheat crap a certainty in this section, has revived pas tures and prpmoted a fair start for a second crop. Th rain found many acres ot clover down in the field, but the return of sunshine, has made farm era hopeful of saving It before it shall be at tacked by mould. Early cherries were a light erop. the birds securing the greater part of it. but Koyal Annea which are just ripening, promise well. The Cal ifornia thrip left but few pears and prunes in this section, apples will be about half a crop, while plums of many varieties, and grapes promise better than for many years. The recent opening of a jam factory at Salem makes available many plums which were previously wasted.

There baa beui more or leas talk within th last few day of a probable ' short age of bags to fill requirements for this sea son' seep in the.

They say that practically everything depend upon th sis of the crop. but even counting a good output, there is ap parently a sufficient Amount of bags now in sight to fill, all requirements. has a greater crop than anticipated R win take more bags than figured upon, but a smaller crop there will create more bags for the Pacifie Northwest. Then again there are many bags till in transit from the Orient and th kws" of any on of. these shin with a considerable quantity of bag on board would create some shortage.

The sunshine waa gener ally adequate, bat low temperatures retarded vegetation. Farm work, aa a rule, was up to the average fox the season, although some com plaint waa received of scarcity of labor. Winter wheat continues good to excellent and. while rain would help in filling the crop east of the Cascade mountains, th prolonged cool weather has been beneficial and prospects are promising. Barley, oats and spring wheat are fair to good, these crops were Improved by rains in western counties, but in other districts are suffering from lack of moisture. Cora made slow growth, ia turning yellow in some localities and needs warm weather for best results. 1 Fruit of all kinds continues promising except where injured by frost and freezing- weather in central and eastern counties. been favorable for apples and a large yield is anticipated irom ine commercial fruit districts.
