PORTLAND. May 19. Farm work
progressed rapidly during, the past
week and light rain fell in nearly all
partB of the state, partially relieving
the draught, according to the weekly
summary of weather and crop con
ditions, issued by the Oregon wea
ther bureau here. The temperature
was variable, averaging somewhat
above normal in most sections but
falling low enough several mornings
to permit the formation of frost. Dry
weather with abundant sunshine
continued most of the week, attended
at tlmeS by cold, dcssicating north
west winds. Kaln fell toward the
close of. the week. Snow in the
mountains melted slowly and the
flow of streams diminished. Cult!
vation of summer fallow land has
been begun in Umatilla county.
Winter wheat is generally in good
condition, the summary says. Rain
was needed in most places. In places
the stand of wheat is unusually
thick, so that the lhoisture require
ment is high. It is in the boot in
Linn county and is heading in Doug
las County. Rye is mostly headed
and some is being rut for hay. The
winter oats have done well. Seeding
of spring wheat, oats and barley is
complete over limited areas. On the
whole the outlook for these crops Is
good hut more rain is needed for
best growth. Aphides i.re injuring
oats in Polk county. Planting corn
is progressing rapidly. Early, corn
is coming up well.
The heavy frosts of May fourtli are
found to have done considerable
damage to cherries, prunes and ap
ples in the eastern counties and to
strawberries over most of the state.
Other conditions, probably Including
earlier frosts rainy weather during
blossoming, cold winds and perhaps
the extreme dryness of the proceed
ing season have conspired to cause
a heavy drop of prunes and pears in
several westerly counties. Strawber
rier are in market in Douglas and
Lane counties. -
Alfalfa is doing well, especially
under irrigation, and In some war
mer sections will soon he ready for
the flist cutting. Other hay crops
are doing well but need more rain.
The range is drying rapidly in places
but in most parts of the state there
Is ample feed for all stock. Lambing
and shearing continue under favor
able conditions.
Planting of potatoes continues ana
early potatoes are growing fairly
well. Potatoes and tender garden
vegetables have been Injured by frost

COST OF LIVING IS
DROPPING SLOWLY
National Industrial Conference
Board Issues a Preliminary
Statement
The cost of living for American
wage-earners declined less than 3 pet
cent during. the period from signing
of the armistice to the first work of
March, 1019, according to a preliminary
statement Issued by the national in
dustrial conference board. In March,
Hi 19, the cost of living was still ap
proximately 00 per cent to 05 per cent
above the pre-war level, as contrast
ed with an Increase of 65 per cent to
70 per cent in November, 1018, and of
50 per cent to 55 per cent in June.
1018, as brought out by the board's
two previous studies of the subject.
Changes Since November, 1918.
Changes since November, 1018, Id
the average cost of the different
Items entering into the budget were:
Per cont.
All Items 2.S decrease
Food 4.1 deereuBG
Shelter ...1.7 Increase
Clothing 6.2 decrease
Fuel, heat and Hffht 1.3 decrease
Sundries No change
For the entire period JuJ-y, 1014, to
March, 1910, the increases in the re
spective items were:
. Percent.
All Items ; 61.3
food 76
Shelter 22
Clothing 81
Kunl, heat and light 67
Sundries 55
In estimating the change in the bud
get uh a whole the constituent Items
hnve been given the following rela
tive importance: Food, 43 per cent
of the total; shelter, 18 per cent;
clothing, 13 per cent; fuel, heat and
light, 6 per cent; sundries, 20 pet
crfit. These percentages are averages
of the actual expenditures of sevenil
thousand families, bused on the re
sults of investigations by author! ta
ttve agencies. While families differ
In the apportionment of their incomes
among the separate budget Items, the
distribution for normal families does
not vary widely from these averages,
Hence, with any reasonable alloca
tion of items In the budget, changes
In the total cost of living are fairly
uniform, and an estimate of 00 pet
cent to 65 per cent as the increase be
tween July, 1914, nnd March, 1019, is
broadly representative.
