WHEAT, COLLINS SAYS
Damage from hot wlndu Is begin
ning to be apparent in wheat fields,
H. W. Collins, grain dealer, said today
before departing for Spokane. He
made a trip through the wheat belt
yeaterday afternoon and saw evidences
of damages In numerous places.
The first hot wind to do any dam
07'! Is believed to have come on Sun
day. Kach afternoon since that time,
Mr. Collins Bays, the wind has got
around to the north and has seared
the fields somewhat. Another week
without the hot winds would have
found the wheat beyond susceptibil
ity of damage.
In company with Hymen H. Cohen,
market editor of the Oregon Journal,
Mr. Collins looked over the wheat
country on Monday. Mr, Cohen at
that time estimated the crop at 6,
000.000 bushels. This Is considered
by Mr. Collins as high and, with the
hot winds of this week as a drawback,
he'thinka 6.000.000 bushels or more a
closer estimate.
