Oregon Crop , ' Report for August Oregon ranges show consldeiable damago from the warm weather and lack of moisture. Livestock, how eve.", are coming off the range In good condition according to the regu lar monthly report of tho Federal State crop reporting service. Hay supplies are generally short In cen tral and southeastern Oregon and below normal lor tne State as a ft hole. Stock water Is scarce. Range Ranges are rather poor In central Oregon but generally good west of the Cascades and In northeastern Oregon. Prospects for late summer and fall range are poor for the state as a whole. Rain Is needed. Many water holes are already dry and streams are low. For all tame hay a decreaso in tonnage of almost 100,000 tons occurred during the month. Evnc alfalfa, the major part of which la Irrigated, shows a reduction of 22, 000 tons. However, the tame hay crop on August first was still a lit tle above average. Wild hay Is be low average at 234,000 tons. Wash ington ranges are very dry east of the Cascades and drier than usual In coast sections. Fall range prospects arc poor. The hay crop Is a little short and much grain being cut for hay. In Idaho higher rangos are good. Winter ranges arc dry but havo a normal amount of feed. Hay crop lighter than 1829 but with a large carry-over, hay and feed sup plies are ample. California range feed and stock water Is scarce In some areas but better than 1929.. Hay and grain plentiful and cheap.

An unusually small amount of irri gation water is reported from some important hay producing sections. However, tho tamo hay crop on Aug ust first was still a little above av erage although prospects were poor. The hot weather caused a slump of ten points in pasture condition. An Increase of 306,000 bushels in po tato production brings the latest es timate up to 4,704.000 bushels which Is almost a million bushels more than the 1929 harvest. Hop produc tion In Oregon Is estimated at 10. 040,000 pounds or a littlo over one half of the 1929 production. Fruit ' Oregon- fruit prospects are not changed materially from a month ngo according to the August report. To tal apples prospective ' production the commercial estimate remaining' unchanged at 1,803.000 barrels. Tho August first peach production fig ure of 256,000 bushels compares with 264,000 bushels estimated on July first. An Increase of 71,000 bushels over last month's figure for Oregon pear production, or 3,236,000 bushels, is indicated by the report. The final reports on Oregon cherries show that tho crop exceeded expectation and was above average generally. Oregon prunes for drying aro es timated at 27,500 tons and prunes to be marketed fresh aro placed nt 23,000 tons, the total crop equaling 50,500 tons. Corresponding figures for 1929 are: For dried prunes, 49. 000 tons, and for freBh prunes, 28, 000 tons. Oregon grapes are esti mated at 2015 tons compared to 2110 (Continued on Pago Ten ) (Continued on Page Ten) Average Wheat Production Is Large in Wallowa Tho average' production of winter wheat In tho area about Wallowa will be around 10 bushels greater this year according to C. O. Meok. Observer correspondent who keeps our readers in close touch with weather and . conditions in hlB lo cality. ' Threshing of winter wheat crops of this community is going forward at a very .satisfactory pace at this time. Reports of excellent yields are heard from nearly all parts of the county. Judging from tho scatter ing reports of average yields, Indications-arc that the country average for winter wheat will run close to 30 bushels per acre for this season. This is much above tho average yield. For two or three years previous the average nas not oeen aoovo au bushels per aero for wheat on dry j land. I According to a considerable num-fj ber of farmers in this community but littlo of the new crop has been sold up to this time. A week or more ago the price had climbed to. about 73 cents per bushel for No. 1 wheat here. However, with a drop of several cents In price recently tho price range has dropped to be- low 70 cents per bushol nnd farmers i aro not eager to sen at inis price. Production costs remain high and but few farmers feel they can aN ford to grow wheat for tho present , market prico. A large amount of wheat has been moved to tho vari ous, warehouses at the various towns along the valley, the greater part of the hauling Is being done with trucks, prices for hauling per Back hap ranged around lc per sack per mile. Combines are running full blast In many of tho largo fields in the hiil sections and a, week or ten days good weather will see much of the winter wheat In the sack. Thresh ing of some spring grain Is also bo liib' done in some parts of tho com munity. A few fields of Hard Federation wheat which lias been threshed dur ing the past week on dry farms is reported to have yielded quite well, returning between 25 and 30 bushels per acre In some instances. Noal Baker and son who have several hun dred acres of wheat on the former phelffer farin on the hill north of town have been busy combining dur ing the past week and have threshed about 4000 bushel and figure they aro about half through cutting their wheat which Is said to bo yielding around 35 bushols per acre. Cutting of tho second crops of al falfa In the valley Is in progress nt this time. Warm weather and plenty of Irrigation water at moat of tho farms have been very favorable for the rapid growth of alfalfa and some excellent second crops are being cut at this time. Pasture conditions have become poorer In many parts of the county during tho past few weeks, with much of the hill ranges becoming very dry and stock water becoming short In many places. was matte. ine avem im ported for Oregon Is 23 bushels; which is Interpreted into a total pro duction of 19.504,000 bushels com paring favorably with the produc tion last year of 10.712,000 bushels, i i ifttl mnr than lfl : second nnd $5 for the third.

Stocks of both oat and barley which still remain on farms are un usually high. In the ease of oats, the estimate of farm stocks Is 1.006... 000 bushels compared to an average of only 317.000 bushels.
