Final returns on the wheat crop of 1928, based on federal and state reports, show that Wash ington, Idaho and Oregon produced 100,754,000 bushels of wheat. The combined yield of the three states was 1 per cent short of the 1927 crop, but slightly above the average for the six-year period. Washington, with the largest area in crop, had the biggest crop, raising 48,644,000 bushels, Idaho was second with 28,792,000 bushels, and Oregon was third with 23,318,000 buhsels. Each of the three Pacific northwest states exceeded California, which raised 16,380,000 bushels, in total pro duction, yield per acre and, in cash value. ' Moreover, Washington, Oregon and Idaho, outstripped the rest of the United States in production per acre. The average yield for the- Unittd States was 15.6 bushels per acre, while the average for the three Pa cific northwest states was 22.9 bush els per acre, or 7.3 bushels per acre more than the average for the whole country. In this respect, Idaho topped the northwest, if not the nation, with Oregon a close second and Washing ton running third.

We'll save you money and, what's even more important, insure you against risks you shouldn't be taking, The Athena Garage Main Street Athena Phonfes 352 in Idaho was 24.8 bushels; in Oregon, 22.7 bushels in Washington, 21.4 bushels. The value of the wheat crop of the three states, according to federal estimates, was $98,616,000, or ap proximately 98 cents per bushel. Ore gon showed up best under crop value, its 23,318,000 bushels being valued at $24,083,000 on December 1, or more than $1 a bushel topping the aver age value per bushel of the north west and the whole country. Wash ington ranked next to Oregon in per bushel' value, averaging a fraction less than $1 a bushel, but it ranked first in the inland empire region in total value, its wheat crop being valued at $48,620,000. Idaho's wheat was valued at $25,913,000, a little above the total value of Oregon, but the Gem state's per-bushel value was a little more than 91 cents, falling below that of Oregon and Washing ton. Probably the most cheering feature of the 1928 wheat crop, however, is that the growers of the three Pacific northwest states did not rush their wheat to market, having an unusu ally large portion of their 1928 crop still on hand. This is taken to mean, for one thing, that the wheat grow ers of the inland empire have been somewhat relieved of the economic pressure that compelled them to hasten the marketing of their wheat in recent years. It means, too, that the inland em pire producers have some wheat to market in the second, quarter of this year, a period when prices are com paratively better and such a move ment, as noted by the Spokane & Eastern Trust company, "will liber ate much money and will substan tially increase the credit position of the country banks." That means, in turn, that the wheat growers of the inland empire will not have to bor row so heavily as in recent years to finance their coming crop. EUROPEAN GIRL LIFE DIFFEHENT Miss Craven Tells of Four Month's Trip To Europe. Has No Authority H. H. Corey, member of the Oregon public service commission states that the commission has no authority to regulate oil companies or the sale prices of gasoline for the reason that oil companies are not public utilities. Corey made this statement in com menting on press reports that Oregon motor fuel dealers would appeal to the public service commission as well as to the federal trade commission concerning the activities of the oil companies in the present gasoline war. The appeal has not yet reached the Oregon commission. Miss Florence Craven, Camp Fire Girls' executive, who has visited Ath ena in connection with her campfire work, has returned to Walla Walla after a four month's trip abroad. Miss Craven found girl life in many European countries is such that the entire social life would necessar ily have to be changed before an organization like the Camp Fire Girls could take root and flourish as it does in the United States. The Camp Fire organization in England is very strong but in other countries the girls do not have' the opportunity for self,; development that can be found here, according to Miss Craven. - Miss Craven's primary purpose in going to Europe was to visit the many art galleries and conservatories there but she was able to observe the girl life wherever she went and spent some time at Professor Cizek's school in Vienna, where children are taught to make many artistic and useful articles. The handiwork of - the children in the experimental schools in Vienna surpasses the work of other cities the art is not developed to such an extent, Miss Craven stated. Miss Craven left Walla Walla, De ember 24, says the Union, and went directly to the Atlantic coast where she embarked for England. She spent some time in London, later go ing to Paris where she stayed a month, In Paris she found that a month was far too short a time to see the many beautiful works of art in the galleries there. She went to Germany and Austria and later to Italy, visiting the prin cipal cities there. She spent Easter Sunday in Lichtenstein which is situ ated in the Austrian Alps. She then returned to France.
