F ig u re s re le a s e d by elevator managers this week, although not final or accurate to the bush el, are very close. The big end of the crop was harvested In the north end of the county as the Sherman Co-operative Grain Gro wers have 1, 250,000 •' bushels, according to George Harris, mana g er. This is one of the biggest crops ever warehoused In that area. At Moro Wendell Balsiger gives the figures tor wheat bu- shelage as 590,000, which is not large for the area, which lost heavily by hall. T h e r e was also 200 tons of bar ley p u t a c ro ss th e scales in the Moro district. At Grass Valley Arnold Dunlap reports a total bushelage ware housed i t 625,000, which Also was reduced materially by hall but is» still a very good crop. Total amount already in is 2,465,000 bushels. This may be Increased a little by late thresh ers or by wheat manketed« late after seed what is treated, •«. • Price remains at better than $2.00 per bushel, currently $2.10 a price that brings the county , wheat income to more than live million.
