(IP) The wheat farmer' dream bumper crop at a aouar bushel was beginning to come true this week in the Oregon - grain belt. Harvesting of what gives every promise of being the best crop in history at the best prices since 1821 is under way in such granaries as Umatilla, Gilliam, Wheeler, Wasco, Union and Grant counties. Here and there the summer rains damaged the fields and crickets gnawed away at the edges, but by and large the stands were thick and heavy headed. Umatilla Crop Vast Umatilla county took five mil lion bushels from its wheat lands last year. Farmers say the county harvest will reach six this year despite retirement of a good deal of land for soil con servation. A lot of good land went to mustard, canning peas and crested wheat grass instead of wheat, but it is the lighter lands that are bountiful now. Many a farmer who counted 15 bushels a good take from any of his acres is getting 25. Acres that usually yield 35 or 40 bush- els are good for 50 and 55. Surrounding counties report like increases, some more and some less, but all well over aver age. Pendleton farmers say the labor situation is encouraging. The late-June completion of the pea harvest released several hundred men to man combines. Terrific Yield The harvest in Sherman coun ty got under way this week and early reaping bore out the esti mates of a terrific yield per acre. Wheat men expect the county's harvest to run from 2, 500,000 to 3,000,000 bushels from 107,000 acres. Moro sources say the price in Sher man county is the highest since 1927. At Pendleton triple-A offic , ers estimate that No. 1 bulk : wheat will brine 80.(1 ront here at established loan rates which is what the farmer expects when . wheat is at a dollar on eastern markets. There is much rejoicing . among Oregon's wheat people . but they figure it's about time some prosperity reached them. . Many a farm wife is mentally getting rid of her 1929 furniture . in favor of some streamlined 1941 stuff, and warning her hus- . band that dollar wheat and a new wardrobe go hand-in-hand. The old man wants a new car ' and intends to get it, the rearm ament program permitting. He also has his eye on a lot of new farm machinery. TRAFFlClMTY niTiimn i imrn KAIINuu LI5IUJ N. Il "..

"It is most fortunate for the English that the Russians are fighting now. It gives us a res pite, with the Germans occupied on two fronts."
