4,5 BILLION BUSHELS
Wheat and Rye Expected to
Show Gain, Oats and
Corn to Be Lower.
CHICAGO. Aug. ff. (AP The
tuition's 19H8 grain harvoHi of more
thiiu four anil a half billion uuhIi
els, ono of the Im-Kimt on record,
wits estimated to have a niarkot
value of ulniost $2,500,000,000.
Analysts based this estimate on
tbo forecasts of tile six Chicago
crop experts whose August stun,
marles Indicated total production
of wheat, corn, oats und rye in the
United States would amount to ap
proximately -l,5S3.O0O,0OO bushels.
With the exception of last year's
production of these mnjor grains,
which totaled -1,715,000,000 bushels
ami had a market value of slight
ly more than $3,000,000,000, the
1U3K harvest will bo the greatest
since )!)32.
The valuation at market was
based on Chicago prices Tor grain
delivornble in the rail and winter.
The corn crop to be harvested
tills fall was estimated to havo a
market value of 1 1,31 3,000,000 com
pared with ?1,G55,000,OUO last year.
The wheat crop, now more than
half reaped, was valued at ?Bt5,
810,000 compared with !)35,172,000
last year. Oats woro valued at
$254,000,000 and rye at $1! 1,380,000.
The market valuation of the ma
jor 'grains was about $600,000,000
loss than the year ugo figure,
which was the highest since 1021),
und nbout $200,000,000 below valua
tion' of the 1936 crop. With those
Jtwo exceptions, however, it is the
best In Bix yeurs. Lower prices
compared with the Inst two years
accounted for the difference, tind
ers said. Current grain prices nro
near the lowest levols in four or
l'lvo years.
Whoiit and rye crops this yuar
are oxpeeted to be larger than lust
year but corn and oats production
will he lower, according to current
ostlmates.

PORTLAND, Aug. 8. (AP)
The state's canning industry has
progressed so rapidly in three de
cades there ' Is one chance in 38
every time . Mrs. America gets out
her can opener she cuts the lid
from produce packed In Oregon.
In 1H21 the chances were only
one In 40 and before the war well
Ma America, put up most of her
foodstuffs herself In glass Jars.
A bulletin released by the state
planning commission valued the in
dustry at 517.1151,421 annually. The
average monthly employment was
estimated at 3,841 with thousands
of persons supplementing regular
income with ennnery occupations
during the peak summer period.
Oregon produced 2.43 per cent of
the nation's canned food in 1921
and 2.62 per cent in 1935. Al
though the state's share in the na
tional output did not increase
greatly In tho 14 yeurs, the actual
volume mounted 103 per cent.
Only the lumber industry. employ
ed more wage earners than packing
plants In Oregon three years ago.
What Was Canned
The stnte canned 44,651 cases
of vegetables nnd 1,186,032 cases
of fruit in 1921 'compared with
1.250.000 cases of vegetables and
4,500,000 cases of fruit In 1035.
Pears, prunes, berries, upples and
cherrlos, In tho order named, are'
the principal fruit packs. Beans,
pens, pumpkin, beets, carrot, to
mato, corn, green uspurngus lead
the vegetable class.
Prunes increased from 88,232
cases in 1921 to 1,670,544 cases In
1935. The pea puck was Insufficient
to merit consideration In 1932 but
by 1935 it reached 288,541 cases
and has made comparable strides in
the last three seasons,
"Ilecause of the fortunute com
bination of Boll and climate, i the
existing nrablejiind is sufficient to
meet tho expanding raw material
needs of the canning Industry," the
report snld. "Furthermore, the
practice of irrigation In tho Will
amette valley has resulted In as
tonishing yield increases. Recla
mation work in eastern Oregon will
make available considerable acre
