SNOWDRIFT FLOUR ii THE GOOD OLD The good, old harvest days ore here and throughout Gilliam county the hum of harvesting machinery goes resounding mer-! rilly. Big combined harvesters and headers are hastening to cut the most surprisingly yield in many years, surprising because it is so large in spite of the lack of moisture, surpris ing because the yields per acre run as righ as thirty bushels testing drst quality. The stirring days of ast week when the mar ket rose from 75 to 83 jents and the strenuous good ; efforts of local buyers to start the new wheat to their respective ware houses had no preced ent m the annals or Gilliam county. Eighty three cents is the hiehest price that Condon wheatgrowers have received for years. J. W. Engberg at Blalock sold for 85 cents, the highest price paid in the county this year. A large mumber of farmers expect to make greater profits by holding for further advance in price. And still they know that this is a presidential year. Queer things happen on the eve of a national election. Our Wheat Standard. Hyman H. Cohen, commercial editor of the Oregon Daily Jour nal, was in Condon last week ! and in a letter to his paper gives the results of some of his ob servations as follows: Samples of new wheat secured in store show how short was the supply of moisture the past sea son. Gilliam county is noted for the good quality and heavy weight of her wheat, which is usually the heaviest in the state, It has been no trouble heretofore for Gilliam county wheat to come up to standard of quality, for in a sense it was this section's jrrain that has set the standard. " Continuing he says, "Consider ing this lack of regular annual amount of rainfall the crop of wheat now being harvested is wonderful. Tne past season has taught wheat growers that they would be better off financially were a larger crop of fall wheat sown." Condon The Wheat City Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendle ton, a lawver by profession and an office-seeker by choice, often breaks into print with "sugges tions." His latest islthis:"Port- land is known as the Rose City, Salem as the Cherry City, Mc Minnville the Walnut City, and there is no reason why Pendleton I 'should not bo justly known as the Wheat City." The learned , lawyer has been so busy that he is not aware that Pendleton is already known as the "Prohibi- tion City, and that should be glory enough.

TIME" them: West of town on the Parman ranch, CO acres have given 891 sack of wheat. Just on the edge of town the W. L Bar ker place will bring, it is atid, SO bushels of sixty pound wheat and I20acres on A. Hartman's ranch may go over 30 bushels. Some estimates of that same crop have been placed as high as 85 bus. On Beccher Flat Chas. Hein harvested 18 bush els to the acre. Samples from the J. J. Fehren bacher ranch sent to the local mills tested 59 1-2. In the Mayville Flat wheat is turning out especially good. J. W. Dyer will reap 26 bushels to the acre while on the George Dukek ranch the yield which had been estimated at 22 bushels will thresh at least five bushels higher. Many farmers in that locality will harvest equally fine yields. , From Clem where the greater share of the crop had been given up, reports show that J. A. Webster got 450 sacks from 90 acres. S. C. Dodson expects to get from 15 to 18 bushels on the summer fallow His harvest will give him be tween 2500 and 3000 sacks of No 1 wheat, samples of which sent to a Portland firm were reported as the best and the wheat buying firm was eager to ; corner the whole yield. Geo. Williams in that vicinity will reap 18 to 20 bushels to the acre while his barley will go 30 to 40 bushels. In all he has about 900 acres in grain. Clem News. James Larch has finished head ing with the exception of 100 acres which J. J. Fehrenbacher will cut with his combine. Wm. Wendle and W. A. Riggs are heading their barley on the Chas. Wester ranch near town, formerly the Jessie Nye ranch. E. J. McPherson will finish heading on the S. C. Dodson ranch about the latter part of the week. Just a Little Rain.
