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. They

Gets Application for Seed.
A. J. D. Cornelius of Colfax
writes: "I am much pleased with
my hybrid wheat. 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."

was later withdrawn from entry.
It is now open to settlement am
will be opened to entry on Septem

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

though they are a trifle late, the;

view of the fact that that sectioi

will be very many choice selection

who have visited the land in ques

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
