OREGON HARD FEDERATION WHEAT GROWN HERE A SUCCESS SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 SI 1 Conclusion of an experiment with hard federation wheat from eastern Oregon on tho ranoh of M H. Utter, route 6, about six mile? eant of Salem on the penltentinry road, has shown such marked sue cchs with the tryout that It may revolutionize entirely the growing of miring wheat In tho valley, and materially enhance the genera! yield as well as its value, accord ing to Charles R. Archerd, who Bet the experiment under way. Archerd sent into eastern Ore gnn for 0 pounds of the hard Federation wheat, on advices from sound headed old ranchers there that this was tho best of tho Apiinu wheats for valley conditions and should be tested out hero. Quick J rowing Wheat The services of Mr. Utter were enlisted in making tho experiment and he selected four and one-half acres of ground on his ranch to try It out. He picked out ground tnai was between clover sod and oats bo there would be no chance of any other wheat getting mixed into the yield. The ground was reason ably low. ma;:lng It extremely fav orable as an experimental plot, but not extra favorable as to yield con dltlons. Tho wheat was, sowed on March 7, It headed out In May and on Jul 4 was ready to harvest. But. purposely, tho wheat was allowed to stand untouched for two weeks after It had reached a stage ready for threshing In order to determine Jf It would shatter. After the two weeks period the wheat was dead ripe, but did not shatter a bit. and even did not shutter In handling. 3.1 IliishflH To Arm On threshing the wheat went 35 bushels to the aero nnd is about as pretty a yield as one would care to look at. It is safe to assort, from samples taken at random, that tho wheat will test out 99.9 per cent pure, with now and then an Oat hull visible, but aside from that no foreign matter. It Is even possible tho oat hulls wero gather ed Into tho wheat from tho mach ine. The wheat goes 64 pounds to the bushel. The seed is being certi fied by the Oregon Agricultural eollcgo with tho statement that It is tho finest federation wheat they havo ever seen. A total of about 1110 bushels were taken from the planting. Use It For Seeding Tho plan Is to divldo thin up Into 10 bushel lets and distribute It to farmers In various sections of t'.tc Salem district, getting It Into vari ous sections, .soils and growing eon dltlons, so as to glvo tho wheat a generally rigid test such ns Is given ffvoiv vear ormnary varieties enrlng wheat which arc grown here The varieties which have been crown havo been Drflance.

Otis Wbito bad Intended to BO to Hatem today to secure Insur ance on his grain crop, which he hnfl Just finished threshing. The pumper of ITia Dallas fire department, hastily summoned made tho distance from Pallas to the farm, something over four miles In R minutes. Pumping wat er from the Hlckreall creek, which flows past tho blgbwny at the point where White's farm Is located, the firemen were nble to keep the flames from spreading to nearby buildings. There wero a number of old buildings across the highway from the building where the flro start ed, covered with dry moss which Is enslly Inflamablo at this tlmo of the year.

Portland, Aug. 15 The hop mar ket la allowing a considerable de gree of strength, but not of actlv lty. A fairly good demand has ue veloped for new crop contracts with buyers offering 20 cents foi fuggles and 18 cents for the mui crop. They have not had mucl success as yet In Interesting grow era at incae prices. Crop conditions onthe coiiwt in the main or good. The govern ment cmimate of the Oregon yield, made this month, Is for 11,172,000 pounus, as against 10,119,000 pounds, estimated a month ago. Last year the same authorities guv Oregon 12,000,000 pounds. Tho crop forecast for Washing ton Is 4,009,000 pound, as com pared with the July estimate 4,257,000 pounds. Hops In the Yakima valley are doing quite well but the western Washington crop was reduced by unfavorable tveath er last inontn. The California eron Is now plac ed at 8,859,000 pounds, as against 7,987,000 In July. Tho Increase In estimates for Oregon nnd Califor nia more than offset the decrease in Washington. The present strength of the mnr ket Is attributed largely to tho for eign crop situation. London ad vices indicates that the English crop will be about 375,000 hundred weight, as compared with a yield of 508,000 hundredweight In 1924 The continent, according to some reports received, will bt one-third short of last year.

Would like to Go. ' It would be a pleasure to me," Ud the warden, "to take a gun and go out and help scour the country. It wouldn't be as hard work and as nerve-wrecking as it is to sit here. But there are men In the field who are just as cap able for that vork as I am, and I couldn't improve the situation any. Besides someone has to be here all the time. There are 600 prisoners here and some of them are Just as bad as those who got away. We might have another break at any time. ' Telephone callB that poured In to the offic tvam the poesemen tho first night and day after the break now come in only at very long Intervals. The warden attri butes this to the fact that the hunters lose their "pep" when the trail become cold. Still he insists that there has been no relaxing of vigilance, - that he believes all points where the convicts could possibly he In hiding are being combed and that all avenues of es cape are beit.g; guarded. Passes Watuhed. "The passes through the nioun tins are being watched," the war den said, "but I am not Informed who is doing It.
