(Speclnl) Rnln fall bo far in 1034 Is the lowest ever recorded In some of the central find north central states and drouth has become serious for grain cro, hay, pastures, and dairy production, ac cording to a review of the agricul tural situation Just released by the Oregon State college extension ser vice. Precipitation from January 1 to May 1 was the lowest ever recorded, by tho weather bureau In the Da kotos. Minnesota, and Illinois; second lowest ever recorded for Indiana, Missouri and Ohio; third lowest for Kansas; fourth lowest for Iowa nnd Nebraska, and fifth lowest for Montnna, enya the report. Except In the northwest, hay crops have had a poor start and the condi tion on May 1 for the country as a whole was substantially lower than on the same date in any of the past 60 years, according to thc circular. Carryover of hay In Oregon Is above average, but In the ditiry sections of the north central states holdover storks ate less than half of a year ago. The situation in several of these north central states Is acute. Piistures are the poorest In 50 years and with praetlealy no hay in some sections, cows are being maintained on straw and such feeds as are sup plied by relief agencies. This situation, has already affected the production of milk adversely, says the circular, bo that production per cow averaged nearly two pounds per day less tnan on the corresponding date of the last B years. t In commenting on the fruit situa tion, the circular says prospects are for fair production of fruits In the northwest, which should find a bet ter outlet owing to the reduction In the eastern crop and anticipated Im provement In purchasing power ol the public. The pear crop of Oregon may be somewhat less than last year but the apple crop In excess of the light out put of 1033. The Pacific coast dried prune crop Is expected to be less than normal. Carryover of 1933 crop prunes is also less than normal. RAIL TONNAGE IS ON THE INCREASE PORTLAND. Ore..
