Oregon.'. Idaho and "Washington
have planted a greater area In
grain for : the ' 1921 harvest than
during any previous season, 1919
excepted. Acre for acre and condi
tion lor condition, This year's plant
ing promises a far greater crop of
grain than, has ever before been
grown in the Pacific Northwest. Add
ed to this is the excellent showing
expected by Montana this season as
compared with recent near, failures
in that! Btate. Hie entire Pacific
Northwest is destined to gather more
grain by farthan ever' before.
": "Wheat Acreage Galas .
The showing -of wheat planting la espe
cially favorable. In face of the fact that
wheat prices ' dipped unusually severe
during theeeason and that grain grow
ers have been srenerally disgrusted. and
disheartened with the - situation, there
has been more., wheat planted in. the
three states of the Pacific Northwest
' for 1921 than any other year,, only ,-1919
being excepted. Oregon's acreage ! for
, ijxzj. is me greatest in us msiory oi ne
wheat industry.. Eliminating ' all dam
aired area and counting only that winter
wheat which has come through in srood
shape.- t the : showing , with the spring
planting reaches a . total ' of 1,200,000
. acres. In . Washington the combined
sowing1 -of . Spring and winter wheat
reaches a total of !s,300.00 acres,, while
In Idaho the showing; is 1.000,000 acres.
Ground Considered ,
While the total showing of wheat area
planted in the three - states .; for 193V
readies-.slightly below ; the grand total
for'1919, it must be remembered that a
large, per cent of- the 1919 crop was
planted on ground that had not been
properly prepared; This was done at the
earnest solicitation of the government.

"Mount Hood , is not -smoking. No

may appear to be smoke Is probably a

two things. Elther-la cloud forms oa
the mountain top which takes the shape

"It is an effort by a coterie of Re

tion's foreign affair-. It is a deliber
ate .attempt to - force him finally to
give vo the Versailles treaty as a
means ef settlement and to make a
separate treaty of peace."
- Senator Borah of Idaho, made the
charge that - the treaty is being disre
garded by France and. Great Britain.
"The allies are in Germany today,
not In accordance with the terms of
