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.
