There is no finer way for youngsters and adults to learn about the heritage that made our country great. Both the manager of First National’s Pendleton branch, and the Eastern Oregon wheat grower who farms this field, are concerned with Oregon wheat production. This field of Gaines wheat, a new and predominant variety, averaged better than 60 bushels to the acre, somewhat of an increase over the average for this area. It is a white wheat, excel lent for pastry flour and well liked in the Orient, where much of it goes through interna tional trade. The harvest hereabout is usually started in July and completed by the end of August. First National provides financial service for both large and small wheat growing operations. You will be delighted, too, how economical the trip can be with money-saving family fares traveling coach or Pullman, leaving Monday through Thursday, returning any day.
