POSed of Sisters Silliman and Benton County Farmers Reap Heavy Wheat Crop Estimates made Tuesday by Wilda Skuse, Benton county extension agent, indicated that 912, 500 bushels of wheat were produced in the coun ty this year. Skuse said 73,000 acres were planted to wheat and the average yield was 12.5 bushels to the acre. Approglmately 5000 acres of rye were harvested. The avenge yield was 10 bushels to the acre or a to tal of 50.000 bushels in the county. This was one of the largest crops of wheat eyer harvested in the county, Skuse added. As far as it is possible to ascertain, prospects are good for another large crop next year as an abundance of moisture this fall and a- late season caused weeds to sprout, tax-mm said. Weeds will die this winter be fore maturing and there Will be fewer weeds using up ground'mois ture next year.

He scored Democrats as well as Republicans for being afraid to “hurt the feelings of..J. P. Morgan and Eugene Grace” by making them pay for the benefits they receive by being Americans, citing the Pansy incident as an example. Regarding war, Mr. Bone said that we have plenty right at home "to keep us busy; he advocates armaments for defense only. In the light of ad vancement of science he. advocates a three hour work day if that is necessary to put every man to work. He emphasized the need of im portsifwehopetoexportoursur- pluses. He again signified his intent to fight to the last for cheap power throughout the state. predicting the greatest fight of all to be that‘about to break with the completion -of Coulee and Bonneville Dams. Knute Hm gave an accounting of his activities in the House of Rep resentatives. He said in part that Democratic presidents had always had the right ideas, but that Roose velt was the only one who had made a consistent effort to get them carried out. He commented on the “rubber stamp" congress and its fre quent over-ridings- of the. presi dent’s vetoes. He mentioned the various agencies of the government that have proved beneficial from security of bank deposits to social security. He discussed labor and agriculture as the foundation of our social structure, pointing to what had been done by recent legislation. He stated his consistent stand against wars and isms and his in tent to continue to battle for the interests of his constituents. c. 8. Holcomb presided ova the meeting.
