1-3 Million Bu Wheat to
Market From This District
About 600,000 sacks of wheat
or approximately one ana one
third million bushels is the
total "marketable" yield for the
present year, according to Dis
trict Manager Walter A. Mitchell
of the KerrGifford company
who has this week completed tne
compilation ' of the 1924 grain
production in the counties of
Morrow and Gilliam in Oregon
and part of Klickitat county in
Washington.
From the detailed estimate
printed below an accurate com
parison can be made with last
years crops, this years yield for
the entire territory covered being
bufapproximately 30 percent of
last year. The figures represent
the wheat which will be delivered
at the warehouse's and classified
"marketable," aeed and feefj
requirements which have been
deducted" from these figures must
be added in computing the yield
and the amount required for seed
and feed reserve varies very
little from year to year. 1923
was an exceptionally good crop
year.
All figures in the following
tables enumerate sacks, not bu
shels.

To All Ex Service Men's Or
ganizations
Gentlemen:-
In order that al
ex-service men may be advised,
I wish to direct your attention to
the provisions of the Reed-John
son bill which was passed by
Congress and signed by the
President on June 7th, 1924.
Under the provisions of this bill.
the facilities of the United States
Veterans Hospital are at the
disposition of any aick exservice
man or woman who has an hon
orable discharge, and who is in
need of such hospital care.
The following restrictions
should be noted, however, as
they are either expressed direct
y or by implication in the bill:
(1) The honorably discharged
DEFENSE DAY TEST
The following communication
received from C. F. Andrews,
speaks for itself.
Mr. Citizen, and American:
In order to correct any miscon
ception, you are furnished the
following epitome of what the
Defense Day Test, scheduled for
September 12th, is and what it
ia not.
What It Is '
It is an exportation and test
of mobilization plana. These
plans, made by the War Depart
ment, for National Defense, the
citizens have a right to know
and should know. It ia demo
cratic. Enrollment on this day
is equivalent to saying "I believe
in National defense." .
The primary purpose is to
enable our people to visualize
the initial processes necessary to
muster our forces in the event of
a national emergency, ana io
avoid the danger of delay, should
war be thrust upon us.
What It Is Not
It is not a mobilization. It is
not an enrollment for any future
war, and is not an obligation for
service, anywhere, anytime. It
is not militaristic.
Do you believe in Prepared
ness or Defenselessness? Think
this over and line up with some
thing; an enrollment or attend
ance at some service on Sept 12,
1924.

authorize the Veterans' Bureau
to increase the facilities of the
hosnital in any way. (3) Should
the facilities of the hospital be

cations are made for care, the
