Sleeplessness DRY DISTRICT FARMERS PRAISE HYBRID WHEAT Big Yields Reported in the Palouse From 35 to 50 Bushels Per Acre Harvested Will Be Generally Used in Many Parts of the Inland Empire. That the Washington State col lege experiment station has propa gated new varieties of wheat which are proving of excellent quality, yield well, and are, In fact, almost ideal wheats for this section, seems cer tain, says a Pullman item. Aftei many years of patient work, started by Professor W. J. Spillman, now with the department of agriculture a Washington, D. C, and followed by his successor, as head of the college experiment station, Professor E. E Elliott, these new varieties of wheal have been perfected and are pro duced in sufficient quantities to seed vast areas. Professor Elliott distributed some of the seed among a lot of the bes. farmers, trying, to get some of it in every neighborhood that could bi reached and requesting that tht grain be carefully watched and re ports sent in showing what had been accomplished. These reports are coming in and almost every one shows splendid results. Hybrid Best Wheat Grown. C. A. Price, a grain dealer of Pull man, who has a fine farm near town said: "My hybrid wheat has yielded well and Is of excellent quality. 1 believe It will prove one of the best grains ever grown here. I have been urging that not a bushel of this wheat be sold for export, but that It all be used for seed. If the Wash ington State college had accomplish ed nothing else but produce these improved varieties of wheat it would prove a financial blessing to the state and the entire Northwest." " C. B. Kegley, master of the Wash Ington State grange, said: "My hy brid wheat ..averaged a little more than 40 bushels per acre. My rei Russian averaged 25 bushels. The two fields join, the soil is the same the ground was cultivated in the same way, and sown at the same time, the seeder going from one field to the other, part of both be lng planted the same day. The hy brid wheat is worth from 2 to '. cents per bushel more than the Red Russian. With an increase of 40 pel cent in the yield and 2 to 4 cents additional on the price, further com ment seems unnecessary. It coats no more to raise an acre of one than of the other." LINE-UP TO FILE ON WALLOWA TIMBER LAND A score of persons are already in the line-up at the La Grande land office, each anxious to file on a claim in township 4 north, range 41 or in township 6 north, range 44 Wallowa county. All of 4 n, 41, and certain sections In 6 n, 44, will be thrown open for settlement on Sep tember 15. The line-dp started Tuesday, Au gust 25, when .nine Portland people under the guidance of a cruiser from that city, took chairs at the land office door, and will keep their seats themselves or turn them over to sub stltutes until the 15th of September There Is, of course, a possibility ol some arrangement being made where by ethics will be the predominating feature . and that the land seekers will be , able to leave their places until the morning of the opening. With one exception this will be the longest wait in the history o the land office at La Grande and il the line is maintained until the ev ening of the opening day, It will be the longest continuous wait known there. The same tract of land tha, these men seek, precipitated a rush lata year, Just an even 30 days be fore the doors were to open, but a satisfactory agreement between the contestants was reached whereby the members of the line disbanded.

We have no threshed it yet, but It promises sc well that I have had more than 20 applications for some of the seed Will let you know more when it it threshed. " J. A. Fontaine, Dayton, writes. "The wheat did well this season, de spite the dry weather." J. J. May, Whelan, writes: "Whea is not yet threshed, but we expec 40 bushels per acre. All my neigh bors want seed from It.' Andy Meal, near Pullman, writes; "I threshed my wheat today. Tin new variety, known as 'No. 123. yielded 19 & sacks per acre. Tlu 40-fold grown on an adjoining fieli and under exactly the same condi tions, yielded 15 sacks per acre, am going to sow ail my summer-fal lowed land to this wheat this fall." Karl Gerhard, Hatton, Va.di. writes: "I threshed 13 sacks o wheat from, one sack of seed I co from you. Owing to the hot weath er and the winds It shriveled hoid and did not yield as well as unde favorable conditions, this being a bai year. I find It does not shell out ai easy as the old kinds and the straw is strong. Had we had norma weather conditions I am satisfied th yield would have been large. I wli sell none of the wheat, as I wan to sow It this fall. Schreck Gets 40-Bushel Average. M. E. Schreck of La Crosse ha an average of 40 bushels per acri from the hybrid wheat and is enthus lastic over It. A reDort of Mr. Schreck's yield was published I The Spokesman-Review from L Crosse, recently. Theo. Stirewait, Pullman, writes "I sowed 40 acres of No. 123 whea and it was fine in every respect, am going to sow all of my land t this variety and the hybrid callec No. 143, of which I got one sack ii the fall of 1907. I sowed this om sack on about two acres and go 38 sacks of wheat from it and at fine wheat as you need to look at It was very thin on the ground am I did not expect more than 20 sacks but it turned out almost double wha I expected. I think it is far ahead o the club or 40-fold." never returned, however, as the lane was later withdrawn from entry. It is now open to settlement am will be opened to entry on Septem ber 15. The number in line has been add ed to since August 25 and it is stat ed more are coming, says the Ob server. They are eastern men wlu want Wallowa county land, aiu though they are a trifle late, the; may secure some valuable tracts. Ii view of the fact that that sectioi is covered with squatters, and tha the first nine men will Becure firs, choice, it does not appear that there will be very many choice selection left. It Is said by cruisers and tho3t who have visited the land in ques tlon that there are a few exception ally fine tracts of land In the sec tion to be thrown open. But squat ters are thick on that land and they of course, have a preference right ip that they have 90 days to make entry after the opening day. First Nine Fortunate. The first nine in the line-up are extremely fortunate, as it Is evident each of them will get a profitable lo cation. They have visited the sec tion and have agreed among them selves on what they want, and while there, avoided land looated by squat ters. There are no women among the nine, and it Is believed the group will maintain its advantage by keep Take d the t V or meLirne labiets 1$ Harness and Saddles LPCPI AMR THE HARNESS AND DCnL-MINLJ, SADDLEM AN Will Hiipply your needs in the Leather Goods line more cheaply and give bettnr satisfaction than any other denier in Wallowa county.
