CROP" PROSPECT GOOD Editor Wheatfield The people of this " section are all very busy since the Chinook wind has come and thawed out the fields, starting their plows and preparing for the spring seeding. I have examined the fall sown grain and find it in good condition. ' I sowed my oats and barley last September and It has not been injured by the winter. The winter has been long and severe, the hardest on my stock for 25 years. This was caused by the frost settling on the grass which was much more se vere on stock than snow. The farm ers should feel encouraged as the promlss was never better for a large crop season since the settlement of Eastern Oregon than at present. The ground Is more thoroughly soaked and to a greater depth than I have ever known In the past 36 years. There has been considerable dam age done in this section by wash outs. Near my barn there was a cut washed down to bed rock, from 12 to 15 deep and now I have a number of strong springs that will be of great value as one can b placed in the birnyard and I don't think I will be compelled to longer use the pump.
