hORTHWEST WHEAT
LESS THAN III 1
A two and one-half per cent de
cline in Pacific northwest winter
wheat prospects during the month
of May, with a slight increase in
the United States prospects is in
dicated by June 1 crop conditions,
says F. L. Kent, statistician, U. S.
department of agriculture.
The estimate for the Pacific
northwest totals 49,378,000 bush
els as of June 1 compared with
50,689,000 bushels estimated as
of May 1, 1929. The Pacific
northwest harvested crop for 1928
was 66,176,000 bushels, and the
five year average Is 51,423,000
bushels. No estimates have yet
been issued on spring, wheat acre
age hence production estimates are
not available. Some of the pri
vate crop estimators are of the
opinion that the U. S. spring wheat
acreage for 1929 will be some
what less than the 1928 acreage.
The low condition of the Pacific
northwest winter wheat crop is
due principally to shortage of rain
fall. - A very dry fall delayed seed
ing and the crop got a poor start.
The spring has also been dry over
much of the wheat belt with be
low normal temperatures. Many

the cap and gown of college and the riding garb of the cowgirl
contests, is but one of the colorful contrasts in the career of
the now famous rider. She came into the arena of the classic
roundup from the campus. A mixture of the aesthetic and
athletic is that of Bonnie Gray. .
A graduate of the University of Idaho is Miss Gray.
Twice she won the trphy cup as best woman athlete. At school
she also won the Hays tennis trophy one year. The re
markable record of five feet four inches was made by the
girl athlete in the running high jump.

nursing in Camp Lewis and -during
the Influenza epidemic nursed
hundreds of Apache Indians on
the reservations of Fort Apache,
Arizona. There are Just 52 young
sters in the State of Washington,
who received their first bath at
the hands of Bonnie Gray when
she' was living with her' parents
on their ranch near Kettle Falls,
Wash. She has, won armful of
