TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, SITCHDAI JUNE 8, 1918.
6RAIH AREA LARGER
Twenty Million Bushels of
Wheat Promised in Oregon.
OATS AND BARLEY INCREASE
Crop Conditions In General Are
Good, Though Growth Has Been
Retarded by Cold Weather.
Warm Rains Would Benefit.
Reports received and field observations
made by F. L. Kent, field agent of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates for Oregon, dur
ing: the month of May indicate a general
crop situation on June 1 about as follows:
The month of May has been one of the
coldest May months on record for the state
ct Oregon. Rainfall was fairly general
throughout the state during the month, but
the amount was Insufficient for the real
- needs of crops. Many sections of the state
Buffered from light frosts during the month.
Zn some localities these frosts were severe
enough to kill tender vegatatlon, such as
tomato plants and the like. Early planted
potatoes were pretty badly "nipped" In some
sections. In certain localities severe dam
age was done to fruit during the first half
of the month. A good, soaking rain fol
lowed by warm weather would be greatly
appreciated In all parts of the state.
Both Spring and Fall-sown wheat seeding
would be materially benefited by a warm
rain in all parts of the state. Generally,
the crop has not yet suffered for want of
moisture except In some of the drier locali
ties. But low temperatures have retarded
growth during the month. Growth on May
1. 1918. was greatly In advanoe of last year
and somewhat ahead of normal, but the
condition of growth en June 1, 181. was
somewhat behind the normal for that season
of the year. Some wlreworm damage is
reported from Eastern Oregon and aphis and
Hessian fly damage In the Willamette Val
ley. Indications are that the acreage of both
Winter and Spring wheat is materially in
creased over last year and over the average.
Compilation of a large number of reports
from the crop and farm labor survey indi
cates an increase for 1918 over the 1917
plantings of 85 per cent in the area seeded
to Winter wheat and an Increase of about
2 per cent in the Spring wheat area. With
favorable weather conditions from now until
harvest time, the state should produce about
30,000,000 bushels of wheat.
The crop survey referred to Indicates an
Increase, of about 7 per cent in the area
seeded to oats. Weather conditions have
been rather unfavorable for the oat crop,
the same as above referred to for wheat.
The Oregon crop survey indicated an in
crease of about 10 per cent in the acreage
sown to barley. Reports from field aids on
June 1 Indicate that this intended increase
in both barley and oats planting has prob
ably taken place.
The Increased acreage In wheat, oats and
barley has naturally utilized some of the land
which normally would have been In hap
crops. In some of the alfalfa-growing sections
wheat has been planted where alfalfa has
usualrV been grown. In the clover-growing
sections of Western Oregon the clover acre
age has been very materially reduced as a
natural result of the Increased planting of
wheat and oats. The vetch crop, which is
largely used for hay In Western Oregon,
has been seriously damaged by aphis. Some
fields have been plowed up and planted to
corn and potatoes. Cold and rather dry
weather has prevented the normal growth
of meadows. All these unfavorable condi
tions have combined to materially reduce
the prospective hay crop.
Outside of the Hood River district apples
appear to have bloomed very lightly and
consequently have set a very light crop of
fruit. Considerable frost damage is reported
In some sections. Peaches were hard hit
by the early April frosts. Some localities
report SB per cent of a normal crop, but
most sections say not enough for home de
mands. The pear crop promises fair. In
localities where both apples and pears are
grown there Is a much better "set" of pears
than of apples. Prunes In Southern Oregon
were hurt by April frosts. In the Wlllam
ette Valley prospects are fine. The total
prune production for the state will appar
ently .be about the same as last year. Cher
rles were Injured by the April freeze and
a light crop all over the state will result.
The commercial crop will probably be about
one-half of the 1917 production.-
SMALL INTEREST IN GRAIN TRADE
Bids for Oats and Corn Are Unchanged en
Local Board.
Grain bids were without Change on the
local board yesterday, and there was but
little interest in the market.

COAST CROP OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Cereal Prospects Satisfactory In Most
Sections.
Crop prospects in the Faciflo Coast states
are summarized as follows:
Washington All crops made slow growth.
Sunshine and warmth needed, but small
grains look well except late wheat in some
fields Is weedy. Oram Is rooting deeply an
Winter grains are heading. First cutting al
falfa is light.
Idaho-Weather has been cold and windy.
Winter barley and wheat are heading an
rye la blooming in Clearwater and Boise val
leys. Spring wheat making slow growth ex

ditlon are above the average. First cuttin
alfalfa completed in Clearwater Valley; crop
fair.
California A few showers fell in the
southern counties and were very beneficial
Wheat and barley art maturing slowly and
harvesting has begun. Oats are fair to good.
Becond crop la being cut of alfalfa; condition

BISK IX FUTURE FLOUR BALES
Present Wheat Price Regulations Io Not Ex
tend Beyond June 80.
The following bulletin was issued yester-
ay by J. W. Ganong, divisional chairman
of the Food Administration milling division:
The plan now in operation for control of
heat prices and wheat flour milling ex
pires June 80. The status of wheat price
regulations after that date provides for a
minimum but not for a maximum wheat
price. The price agreement with the Grain
Corporation provides for protection to the
agreement miller against loss in case of
decline In wheat price, but does not pro
vide against loss to a miller in case of an
advance in wheat prices.
The above guarantee against rose does
not extend beyond June 30. Millers should,
therefore, understand that under the present
circumstances considerable risk Is involved
where purchase or flour sales are made for
delivery beyond June 80 where wheat is not
actually owned to cover such flour sales.
or where flour is not actually sold against
such wheat purchases.'
BUTTER STORING IS ON ACTIVE SCALE
Market Is Firm, With Extras Selling Up to
41 Cents Per Pound.
Although butter production is heavy, the
market is firm and advancing. Quality is
now at the top mark and the demand for
cubes for storing has become more active.
Extras sold yesterday at 41 cents.
Oregon egg prices have been unsettled by
freer offerings of fresh Eastern stock.
Poultry was steady and unchanged.
Dressed veal was weak. Recelpta were not
large, but the hot weather quality of many
of the offerings was against the market.
Dressed pork was steady.
Poultry and Egg Shipments Permitted.
An order has been, sent out from Wash
ington to all Federal food administrators
advising as follows:
'The poultry and egg seotlon of the Food
Admlnlstratolon advises us that during the
period between June 1 and September 15,
1918, licensees will be permitted to make
carload shipments of dressed poultry and
eggs or mixed cars of butter, eggs and poul
try In car lota of not less than 20,000
pounds. Notice to this effect will be given
to licensees from Washington. The matter
as also been taken up with the Railroad
Administration and has their approval."

WHEAT RUSHED EAST
Surplus Left in Northwest
Goes to Other Mills.
LOCAL PLANTS ARE CLOSED
Unless Protest by Chamber of Com
merce Against These Shipments
Is Acted. Upon Immediately,
No Grain Will Remain Here.
The flour mills in this district are closing
down because they have reached the end
of their wheat allotments. As about 2.000,
000 bushels of wheat remained beyond the
needs of the home mills, the Food Admin
istration ordered it shipped to Eastern and
Middle Western mills, which did not have
enough grain to complete their quota. The
Portland Chamber of Commerce has wired
a protest to Washington against this action,
believing the wheat should be ground here,
as the new steamers cannot get sufficient
flour cargo and the mlllfeed shortage Is also
still a serious problem. No action has been
takjen on the protest yet. however, and un
less something Is soon done there will be
no wheat left for the local mills, as the
grain is being shipped East as fast as pos
sible. M. H. Houser. second vice-president of the
Food Administration Oraln Corporation, haa
Issued the following notice in regard to
wheat shipments:
"Shipping Instructions Have been given cov
ering all the wheat left in all elevators and
warehouses. If you have not received ship
ping instructions, notify us immediately, giv
ing us the name of the farmer or owner of
the warehouse receipts, the quantity cov
ered thereby, his postofflce address, and
also, if possible, the name of the grain
firm to whom these recelpta may have been
delivered for handling.
1n a few Instances there are yet to be de
livered some lota of wheat from the farms,
and It is permissible at these points to hold
back for a limited time sufftcent stocks so
that the surplus can be loaded out as a
full carload rather than -shipping out now
and then, having a lea sthan carload cleanup
shipment.
"If you are not getting cars, -wire ns how
many cars you want and at the rate of how
many cars per day you can load.
"All mills having stocks In elevators
should have given shipping Instructions en
these lots before now. It is imperative that
all wheat be shipped out and the warehouses
cleaned up by June 20, advising us fully If
there Is any delay In loading at your station
and the reason therefor."
Mr. Houser has also Issued the following
bulletin:
"On June 25 there will be a 25 per cent
increase in freight rates on grain, flour and
mlllfeed, but In no case shall the inorease
exceed 6 cents per hundred pounds. Also
all rates on flour, feed and grain will be
the same.
This means that all freight rates of 24
cents per hundred or lees will be Increased
the full 25 per cent and all freight rates
ever 24 cents per hundred pounds will be
Increased 6 cents per hundred."
QUALITY OF BERRIES IS BETTER
Good Shipping Stock in Demand at Steady
Prices.
Berries came on the market yesterday In
better shape, but there waa some complaint
of the size of the fruit, which ran small.
Good shipping stock sold at $2.50 0 2.75.
Boft and sun-scalded berries went as low
as $1.
The day's summary of the Bureau of Mar
kets said: "Cooler weather Is holding back
the local berries but very slightly, for the
hot sun earlier In the week advanced them
well in color. However, the quality was
slightly improved In general this morning
and prlcea ranged a trifle stronger than
yesterday. At Hood River the demand Is
ahead of the supply, with everything sold
that can be produced this week. A car
left by express for Denver last night, where
similar-sized crates are bringing $4,259
4.75."
Cabbage Market Weakens.
Two cars of California cabbage were an
the market and with the heavier supply

$2.50 0 2.75. Coast markets were reported by
telegraph as follows:

Man power is being taken up steadily and
rapidly by the second draft and the attrac

NORTH BEND, Or.. June 7. (Spe
cial.) A large eawmlll, shipyard and
Installation plant may be established
in this city at an early date if the
plans of Portland and Vancouver capi
talists materialize.
L. J. Simpson, who recently returned

of a large sawmill, shipyard and ma
chinery installation plant in the north
end of the city on property now owned
by the Simpson Estate Company.

upon local investors subscribing for
$75,000 or more of the stock of the
company. The site selected for the
plant is considered one of the best on
the bay, and will be turned over to the
company at a reasonable price by the
Simpson Estate Company as an Induce

Bulges In the corn market were vrmrAA
by liberal deollnea. due to Improved weather

however, owing to a retlewal of advices that
cultivation in many sections had been de

hampered.
Correct anticipation that the Government
crop report would prove bearish caused the

Transportation Charges.
SALEM, or, June 7. (Special.)
Cash will be paid for all transportation
charges under an order which Direct
or General McAdoo is contemplating
issuing In the near future, according to
the word received by the Public Serv
ice Commission today from C A.
Prouty, director, at Washington. He
states that the move is to be made to
prevent discrimination between ship

The director general also has issued
an order providing that suits against

ty or district where the cause of suit
arose, or where the injured party re
sides. This move is made to protect
employes from being called long dis
tances to act as witnesses, the order
states.
