SMALLER AREA IN
WHEAT THIS YEAR
Br flyman H. Co ben . s
Colfax. Wash.. Julf 13. Whitman
county has a wheat l crop that' per
acre will run slightly in excess of
that of-a year ago. The total produc
tion of Washington's biggest wheat
producing county will not'- run ; as
heavy as 1919, but this is due en
tirely to the fact that tho area
planted is onr of the smallest this
section has seen for many a year.
This decrease . is due to exactly the
same conditions that, exist at all Pacific
Northwest points growers . being com
pelled to summer-fallow & large per cent
of their land after the unusual activity
of war days. . : -
Acre for acre Whitman county will.
this season, grow n somewhat greater
crop than a year ago and there Is
every likelihood that it will be of su
perior quality. There is considerable
mustard and other weeds in the wheat
and the percentage of. smut is about
normal, i ' -. .
HEAT BOBS IHJT7RY-
There is very, little coarse grain in
Whitman county this season. The small
area of j oats and - bailey looks quite
favorable, but there will be practically
none to ship out of the county.
All sections Of the Palouse show sim
ilar . conditions. The harvest will be
late. " : .'f' " : ' - .' " -Most
of the spring wheat has re
ceived such little growth at this time
that there is little likelihood that more
than 10 ! per cent of it will mature
sufficiently for harvesting. Much of
the spring grain will just about make
hay, and some of it will not be even
good for! that.
. Weathsr . conditions recently have
been hot, but the burning has .not been
above normal. There is always more
or less damage from the heat, and this
season will prove no exception to the
rule. . j -. . .
APPLE CHOP SHORT '' -
Around! Pullman ano m the vicinity of
Dniontown. as well as around Garfield,
Palouse land in the - section bordering
upon Spokane county, the showing is
fully normal. '---..-i. - -?
Spokane county likewise has a short
acreage sown to wheat this season. Fall
wheat will make fully a normal crop but
tho spring grain has a very poor appear
ance as yet. The season is so late that
only by a miracle will the grain have
time to mature. .
In Spokane county there Is an extreme
shortage of apples. This year's produc
tion will be the smallest for a number of
years bat sixes are expected to be some
what larger.- . .:

IAGE
DIVORCE QUESTIO
ANO
REMARK
, By Nina Bancroft - - .
United News Staff CorreipondMt.
London, July 13. The Church of
England is divided against itself in
the discussion of divorce.. -
While many clergymen, on their own
initiative, have decided to refuse remar
riage to divorced 1ersans, the arch
deacon,Charles, preaching at Westmln-.
ster abbey, said the attitude that mar
riage was indissoluable, however flag
rant the guilt of husband or wife, was
a misrepresentation of Christ's teach
ings on this subject.
"Christ, by accept lng the Jewish law
relating to the guilty wife," he said,
"and confining his own enactments to
less grievous offenders, allows the right
of divorce on the ground of misconduct
as well as subsequent remarriage on
the part of the guiltless person, tut for
bids divorce on any leaser ground.
"There is no Justification - whatever
in Christ's VschinRs for the altitude
assumed by ecclesiastics who deny the
right of divorce in the case of. miscon
duct and the right of subsequent re
marriage to the guiltless person. . Nor
have eccleslasts the right to deny com
munion to such persons.
- Nevertheless, some SO clergymen have
signed a declaration not . to remarry
divorced persona When asked to give
his ruling on this action, the bishop of
London, said It was quite immaterial,
inasmuch as not one of the clergymen
concerned had any power n the matter
without the direction of the bUhop.
