WENATCHEE DAILY WORLD
VOLUME I.—NO. 110.
COUNTRY AROUND
EPHRATA BEING
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED
Population of County Tributary to that
Town is Said to Have trebled in
the Last Year. Big Increase in
Wheat Acreage.
EPHRATA, Nov. 7.— E phrata, on
tahe Hue of the Grreat Northern and *n
tbe heart of the Douglas county wheat
country, lias experienced a most re
markable growth during the past year.
In that time it is conservatively esti
mated that the population of tbe coun
try tiibutary to that town has trebl
ed. Every day new s>ettlera are coming
in and land has more than doubled in
value during the last six months.
Wheat land that last spring could have
been puichasad for eight or nine dol
lars an acre is now selling at $18 per
acre and is sltill advancing. Home
steads are stilt to be bad but these
are located fjom 36 to 30 miles from
the town an are beiug rapidly taken
up.
Next year will show an* enoimous
inciease iuthe acreage of wheat. Over
180,00 acres of new land has been
broken up this fall and more will be
broken up next spring. Old settlers
in his part of the county state that this
is as good a wheat country as there is
in the state of Washington. This year
wheat went frcm 20 to 50 bushels an
acre and the average crop is placed at
from between 25 and 30 bushels to the
acre. While the crop this year
was slightly better than usual, a crop
failure in this section has never been
known. The amount of wheat that
will le shipped from Ephrata this year
is approximately 2500,00 bushels, of
which 40.000 bushls was produced on
Sage brush flats south of the town.
These flats are some of the best wheat
producing land in the county but
there are thousands of acres near
Ephrata equally good. Threshing
is still going on and already 80 car
loads of wheat have been shipped from
Ephrata. Although there has been a
lßck of threshirg machines veiy little
wheat in this vicinity will be lost as
the work will continue until snow fli?s
and if there is any left at that time it
will be nsed as hay, which in this
county sells from twelve to fifteen
dollars a ton .
The town of Epbiata is growing at
the same rate as the surroundirg
country and now has water system
and an elecrtic light plant. New en
terprises are locating there and it bids
fair to become one of the principal
towns on the line of the Great North
ern railway in eastern Wasiiington.
FED MELONS ON MILK
MARSEILLES, Nov. T.—Scientific
and agricultural circles are highly
interested in a discovery which a
farmer near this city claims to have
made and the correctness of his state
ments will be thoroughly tested at
some of the experimental stations of
the department of agriccltaure. Ac
cording to'the statements of the farmer
who is responsible for the new theory,
watermelon*, freely supplied with
milk, ponred aronnd their roots, will
grow to twioe their normal size. The
man first tried the experiment several
years ago and won numerous prizes at
agricultural exhibitions with his
fine watermelons. The process is said
not only to increase the si7e of the
melons but to insure firm red palp and
delicious flavor.
