Bumper Crop of Wheat at
Dollar a Bushel Best
Crop in History, Promise
Pendleton, Ore., July 8. (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.

MANPOWER OF RUSSIA
STUMBLING BLOCK FOR
NAZIS SAYS 1917 ACE
Spokane, July 9. IIP) Cap
tain Longin L. Lipsky, veteran
of two air forces in the World
war, foresees the very weight
of manpower ol the Russian
army as a stumbling block
which the German blitzkrieg
forces are going to have a hard
time to surmount.
Captain Lipsky, a native-born
Russian and a naturalized Eng
lishman, came to Spokane today
representing a London book and
art company. He was with the
Russian air force at the begin
ning of the World war and later
flew for the British.
"The German military ma
chine, with its high degree of
mecnamzation, is undoubtedly
far superior to the Russian
army," he said, "but it is prob
able that Russian man-power
aione win Keep Uermany busy
for some time.
"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."

Sea Water Drink
Makes Lad Cough
Pin From Lungs
Astoria, Ore., July 9. UP)
Salt water proved an effec
tive substitute for surgery, an
X-ray plate revealed today.
John Rush Harper, 3-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
B. Harper of Spokane, was
playing on Cannon beach
where he had been taken to
gain strength for removal of
a common pin from a lung.
The child dug a hole and
when the water welled up,
took a drink. He started to
cough, his mother pounded
him on the back, and the pin
dropped to the sand.
The X-ray confirmed Mrs.
Harper's belief that it was the
pin that had been in the lung
for several months.
