Pendleton— More than 18,000 acres
of w heat land in the n orthern p a rt of
Morrow county are to be colonized by
th rifty G erm an and H ungarian fam
ilies, according to J . G. Craw ford, of
H eppner.
He says th a t the J . E. W oolery e s
ta te , consisting of th is acreage of
practically level land, has been taken
over by a Portland real esta te firm,
which has already made arrangem ents
to p u t 1,000 fam ilies on th e tra c t, and
th a t the colonization w ill be com plete
by fall.
T his is probably the la rg e st tr a c t of
farm ing land in Morrow county and
offers an ideal opportunity for a colo
nization schem e of this kind.
I t is said th a t the heads of many of
these fam ilies are men of m eans and
th a t the im m igrants w ill prove a valu
able addition to the county.
Mr. C raw ford is also au th o rity for
the sta te m e n t th a t the crops of Mor
row county are to be much b e tte r this
Beason than w as expected a few w eeks
ago. Then it was considered th a t a
total fa ilu re w as inevitable, but now
it is believed alm ost an average crop
w ill be harvested.
The unusual season o f cool w eather
which has prevailed over E astern O re
gon th is sp rin g and sum m er has turned
out to be a blessing fo r th e farm ers,
for w ith th e custom ary am ount of hot
w eather th is season’s crops would have
been burned up, as th e precipitation
has been practically nothing.
