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. Condon, is the,

ker place will bring, it is
atid, SO bushels of sixty
pound wheat and I20acres

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.
