WHEAT ESTIMATES
UMATILLA'S YIELD PLACED AT
BELOW 3,000,000 BUSHELS-
Kirk Hai Wheat That Makes 60
' Bushels Per Acre Harvest
ing Soon to Be Over.
Alex. Johnson's 53-bushel yield is not
in ii no-. T. J. Kirk's crop will out
strip all other crop yields in this section
for this year. His field east of town is
averaging 60 bushels per acre. When
the machine pulled out from the first
setting the pile of sacks it left behind
numbered 1040.' Six to seven hundred
sacks is the usual number for a single
setting.
The machines at work in this vicinity
are many and with good weather next
week harvest will have been practically
finished. Prices quoted for wheat range
around 70 cents, but farmers do not seem
disposed to sell at this price, prefening
to hold on for the rise, which they bo
lieve is sure to come. Wheat-hauling
has commenced in earnest and the forces
at all the warehouses are busy!
E. W. Wright,' traveling correspond
ent for the Oregonian who visits the In
land wheat region annually, ; gives a
description in the Oregonian of Umatilla
county's crop. Mr. Wright is a conserv
ative writer and usually his estimates
are below local estimates. The follow
ing is pari of his story: .
The inelegant but forceful epigram of
the Kansan that "those what has, gets,"
fairly bristles with truth when applied
to the wheatgrowers of Umatilla and
Walla Walla counties this year. The
rich farmers owning the best lands and
conducting their operations on approved
methods are in most sases securing very
good yields and in not a few instances,
the out-turned has been phenominal,
On the lighter lands and where 'farming
has been . more carslessly - conducted
there are thousands of acres in both
counties that will not be cut at all, and
many more thousands of acres where the
yield is running from three to eight bu
shels to the acre. The condition of this
latter class of lands is such that the
good showing made elsewhere is totally
inadequate to bring the average up to
even last year's proportions, and it will
be remembered the crop last year was
short. ' ' ", i
As near as can be estimated at the
present time, Umatilla's crop will be in
the vicinity of 2,500,000 bushels, and
Walla Walla will probably be about
500,000 bushels short of Umatilla's
yield, the total for the two big counties
barely approximating the record yield of
Umatilla. The high price of wheat com
pared with that of last year will make
the aggregate value of the. 1003 crop
slightly greater than its predecessor.
The distribution of this money is so un
equal, however, that the man with a
three-bushel crop does not take' kindly
to any allusion to it.
"Darn queer figuring some of you
follows do," Haiti a farmer to whom the
equalizing process was " suggested.
"How is the county going to be jut as
' off with a small crop and high
-h as with a big crop and low prices
the big fellows are getting it all?
Vhatd's George .' Perringer, he's got
no nay to burn, so of course he is getting
V dushels to the acre, but where does
. man with the three-bushel crop, or
o crop at all, come in on this 'just-as-jiuoh-money-in-the-county'
calculation ?
It's the same way over in Eureka Flat.
M man Babcock will have a big crop,
is he always does, but those poor ranch
ers on the light lands over neur the
W.e river breaks are all in the soup,
ill not get enough wheat to feed
