WASHINGTON UP) Almost 300 warships of six NATO nations, operating in waters from Norway down the European coast and into the Mediterranean, will work together this fall in a big-scale training operation called "Exercise Strike Back."

Approximately 1,000 planes, both carrier and land based, probably will participate. As part of the maneuver, there will be a temporary building of U. S. Marine strength with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, lifting manpower there from a present 1,800 level to about 8,000.

Navy's Atlantic striking force, gave details Monday at a news conference.

The Washington Crop and Livestock Reporting Service said Monday the state's wheat yields are expected to average 35 bushels an acre a record only in 1954 and 1942. The state's total wheat crop now is forecast at 67,008,000 bushels from 1,879,000 acres, the smallest acreage since 1942. But with the exceptional yields indicated, returns from the state's most Important money crop promise to top those of recent years. Latest reports on prices show June farm sales of wheat averaging $2.07 a bushel, against $1.83 a year ago. "Weather during June was nearly ideal for the growth of spring wheat and the filling or winter wheat," the crop report said.

"Lack of precipitation the last part of June was offset fjy cool weather." Winter wheat production this year is estimated at 60,588,000 bushels, 56 per cent larger than last year's crop. Spring wheat production was placed at 6,420,000 bushels for 1957, less than a third of last year's crop. The 1956 was reseeded because of winter-kill. The report also listed this state's predicted crops of -barley, 27,740,000 bushels; corn, 3,388,000 bushels; and rye, 1,242,000 bushels, as the highest on record. The oat crop, 9,900,000 bushels, is expected to be largest since 1942.

The estimate is made by Hector MacDonald, operator of the Salmon Club boat house on Ediz Hook. He bases his estimate on salmon weighed in there. Scores of boats did not fish from the Ediz Hook boathouse and persons with silver salmon did not weigh them in, MacDonald said. Limit catches of silver salmon were common and few boats did not have salmon. Largest salmon weighed in Saturday was a 32 pound Chinook caught by Bob Allen.

Bob Hodge caught one of a similar i ht Sunday. Peter Halko hit the jackpot Saturday with his limit catch of chi- nook weighing 20, 21 and 26 Ibs. Fish are being caught this morning, but a strong wind is making fishing difficult and many of the boats came off the water early. The proportion of chinook being- taken is quite large and the silver salmon are running unusually large for this early in the season, fishermen observe. Catches are a mixture of pinks, silvers, blackmouth chinook and spawning chinook.

An average of at least 100 boats fished off Ediz Hook Saturday and Sunday, Seattle Spokane Walla Walla Washington Yakima 68 73 79 91 78 Monday MUn.
