Seattle. 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. The per acre yield

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.
