sjFor the first time in the history of
Urhtila county wheat growing, this
' ear wt see-some of the land which
i i i i i
was urupueu una year re-seeoeu anu
cropped again next year. The condi
tion, however, will not be general, but
there will be isolated instances espec
ially among some of the farmers who
were disappointed this year in their
yield of wheat.
Dealers estimate that within the
last three days a million bushels of
wheat have been sold in Walla Walla
alone. Farmers are now of the opin
ion that it would be no use to wait
and some express fear that if they
wait too long wheat will have to be
shipped overland and thus reduce the
amonut they will receive, says a Walla
Walla dispatch.
