UMATILLA COUNTY WHEAT. Facts Concerning the Present Crop Outlook. , Wenton Leader. Harvest is now well begun in Umatilla county, and enough is known to assure a fair crop of fall grain, which In most cases ia bet ter than expected. Had it not been for unfavorable weather when rain was needed, whicn cut down the yield at least one fourth, the comparatively small amount of grain planted would have yielded a splendid crop. ; Around Weston the grain is run ning from 20 to 30 bushels per acre and ia generally of good quality. Some is shriveled, but good, hard wheat is produced. A few yields of spring grain will make a small crop. Hartman and Baddeley have a good field below town which is expected to average fifteen bushels per acre. A few samples have been brought to Hamilton fc- Rourke's office at Weston, and all are of No. 1 grain. One ia from the J. N. York place, which is yielding 35 bushels to the acre. Another big field of blue stem on the Steen estate, where from 80 to 35 bushels are obtained. A third from E. $. Duncan's field on the Key farm, where heading is now in progress. A sample of ex cellent grain from R. M. O'Brien's Wild Horse -farm has been left at the Leader office. G.A. Hartman was out Friday between Pendleton and Helix, and beyond the latter place, and found that the general yield was exceed ing anticipations throughout that section. It ranges from 20 to 35 bushels, and the grain is good. From the reservation, favorable re ports are received. , Pendleton Tribune, ; ' Dr. J. L. Campbell was in from his Cold Spring ranch yesterday. His grain is all neaaed and thresh ing will begin next week. He cut a field of volunteer which was con ceded to be good for 16 bushels to the acre and in an ordinary season would have yielded 25 bushels. He has a method of his own which he claims gives the most satisfac tory results for volunteer crops. He drags the stubble with thorn brush to break up the fallen heads and evenly distribute the seed. Lee Moorhouse has some fine samples of grain from Meacham They were grown on B. B. Crown er's place, and includes wheat, oats and timothy. The wheat is blue stem and is 5 feet high, the oats 4J feet and the timothy 54 feet. The fields are' on cleared hill land and have never been irri gated. Mr. Moorhouse believes there is a bright future for the high lands, both in grain and fruit. ; . : t East Oregoulun. G. E. Perringer, of Adams, has threshed 80 acres of fall grain, se curing a yield of about 30 bushels to the acre; There will be some 40 bushel wheat says Mr. Perrinyer, and quite a large number of fields are yielding 30 to 35.

The most remarkable Instance of rapid growth was recorded by the French academy in 1729. It wsb a boy six years of age, five feet six inches in height. At the age of five his voice changed, at six his beard had grown, and he appeared a man of thirty. ' He possessed great,, physical strength, and could easily lift to his shoulders and carry bags of grain that weighed two hundred pounds. His decline was as rapid as his growth. At eight his hair and beard were gray; at ten he tot tered in his walk, his teeth fell out and his hands became palsied; at twelve he died with every outward sign of extreme old age.
