BY REGENT RAINS
Warmer Weather Is Needed
to Increase Growth.
FALL WHEAT MOSTLY FAIR
Spring Crops Put In Where Weath-
- er Conditions Permit Farm
Work. Backward in State.
All cereals have been benefited by the
recent rains in the Pacific coast states, but
warmer weather is needed to promote sat
isfactory growth. Winter wheat generally
Is in fair condition except in portions of
.Washington and a few other sections of
the northwest where drought early In the
' winter delayed or prevented germination,
and the weak plants were later subjected
to temperatures below freezing at a time
when the ground was not snow-covered.
In thoss localities, considerable reseeding
is necessary, and the wet weather la de
laying this. Winter wheat is growing well
in. Oregon. Some spring seeding was done
. during the week. In California winter
wheat and barley are heading, and though
the straw Is short a satisfactory grain
yield is looked for. Winter rye, too, prom
ises well, I.tttle corn has, as yet, been
planted In California, but the fields are
practically ready. Rice planting and flood
ing of the lands go forward rapidly in
Sacramento valley, and the acreage in the
upper portion of the valley will be con
siderably more than that of last year;
where water from irrigation canals is not
available, pumping plants are being in
stalled to supply water from wells. Sum
marizing conditions in the coast district,
the weather bureau says:
Oregon Grass and winter wheat grow
ing fairly well, but warmer weather
needed. Alfalfa suffering from mildew In
Jackson county. All farm work delayed
by wet weather.
Washington Frequent cold rains greatly
benefited grass and winter wheat; the
latter was a poor stand, but has advanced
rapidly. Cold and wet weather delayed
reseeding.
Idaho Rains accelerated, but the cold
weather retarded the growth of wheat and
alfalfa. Plowing and seeding continues.
Wheat is looking good.
California Moderate rains benefited all
vegetation. Crops thriving, but cool nignta
prevent rapid growth. Some wheat and
barley heading: the straw is short.
Arizona Cold nights In the north a(W
high winds over the state generally detri
mental to crops. First cutting of alfalfa
in progress and condition excellent.
Utah Stormy weather generally except
In extreme southern border. Feed short
age continues acute. Field work retarded,
although some grain sown in central and
southern portions. Winter wheat outlook
continues good.
Nevada General precipitation improved
soil. Wheat, oats, rye and barley mads
alow growth.
SOFT WHEAT BIDS AGAIN RAISED
Tor Club, I'p to 48 Cents Over Basle
Price Obtainable.
The wheat market continued very strong
yesterday. Bids as high as 48 cents were
reported for club, which Ib now worth
almost as much as hard wheat.
The coarse grains were quiet, April and
Hay corn bids were reduced 50 cents at
the Merchants' exchange, while other bids
were the same as Thursday. Barley was
steady In all markets.
Weather conditions in the middle west,
as wired from Chicago: -Mostly cloudy
and cool, with scattered rains last night.
Kansas is the exception, being clear and
fine. Forecast Generally fair tonight and
tomorrow, not much change in tempera
ture except in west, where it will be
slightly warmer."
John Inglls says: "Oklahoma, from
Welling to Enid, found wheat in fine
shape, present condition above an average
at this date; some loss by blowing out
but not serious. Oats showing a good
stand. Severe dust storm today."
The Kansas state crop report puts the
winter wheat condition at 88 per cent
versus 79 per cent in December and 90.3
per cent a year ago. Abandoned acreage,
"-.9 per cent. Corn acreage promises
decided Increase. Oats condition good.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were re
ported by the Merchants' exchange as fol

At first the corn market showed a de

big- export demand for wheat and rye, es

The Chicago market letter received yes

Corn After a higher start on buying, in
fluenced by adverse weather conditions and
overnight reports of large export sales of
small grains, a sagging tendency developed
and continued until he close. Since the
government report was issued in Merch,
Indicating a reserve of nearly 11,000,000
bushels, the movement from the Interior
to terminals bas been substantial and the
number of hogs on feed reduced. This
means that there will be a substantial sur

an important part in price making. JlUo,
the unsettled financial situation suggests
that a period ot extensive decline is not

that the present level for new crop de

FRUIT LOSS UNCERTAIN
DAMAGE REPORTS FROM VAI
LEY ARE IRREGULAR.
Potato Planting Delayed by Wei
Weather Fall Grain Pros
pects Are Promising.
The crop situation in western Oregon is
reported by H. A. Htnshaw, general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific, as follows:
Siiverton Weather during past week
has been cold and rainy and farmers have
not been able to do much work. Pastures
and fall and spring grain making good
growth considering the weather. Peach
trees show considerable damage account
of the cold winter; other fruits are not
developed sufficiently to determine the
extent of damage, but' It ts not thought
that the damage was heavy.
Lebanon Fall grain making good
growth; estimated acreage about 20 per
cent increase over last year. Only a
portion of the spring grain and oats has
bejen sown, farmers having been delayed
account of the continued rain. Hay acre
age is about the same as last year; both
hay and pastures making good growth,
but need sunshine and warm weather.
Some ground has been prepared for pota
toes, but very little planting has been done
owing to the wet and continued cold
weather. Indications are that there will
be 50 per cent in acreage of small berries
as compared with last year. Some dam
age was done, but not to any extent.
Forest Grove Rains during past week
have stopped all work so far as sowing of
spring grain is concerned. Fall grain and
pastures are in good condition. Progress
of the fruit trees and berry bushes has
been retarded, but it is not anticipated
lhat damage account of the cold weather
during the winter will be noticeable to
any extent.
Killsboro While fall grain and pastures
look well, some need warm weather and
sunshine. From present Indications there
will be an increased acreage of spring
grain, also com for ensilage. Not a great
deal of ground has been prepared for po
tatoes, owing to the condition of the
ground and the cold weather, but it is
expected that the acreage will be about
normal. It is difficult to determine the
extent of damage by frost to f rait trees
and berry bushes. Apples and prunes do
not show any ill effects, while It is said
peaches were damaged to the extent there
will be a very small crop; pears probably
..i per cent. Cherry trees are Juet com
mencing to bloom, and if the present cold
and wet weather continues, it is feared
lhat same will be damaged; otherwise
there will be about 75 per cent of a normal
crop.
Sheridan Weather during past ten days
has been very unfavorable for fall grain
which is up and is not growing. From all
appearances very tittle damage has oc
curred to fruit trees and berries. Cherry
trees are beginning to bloom and the pros
pects are for a good crop.
Corv.l( Is From present indications there
will be a normal acreage of both grain and
potatoes.. Peach and prune trees have the
appearance of being badly damaged by the
bevy frost during the winter, especially
the younger orchards.
Albany wnue tail grain iookb wen, it
is not making any , growth. Spring plant
ing has been dela ed. Appels, peaches.
prunes and cherries do not appear to be
damased to any extent by the cod weather
in December. Cherry and apple trees are
beginning to bloom and indications are for
a good crop. wnue oerries inaica.ee mere
will be a 50 per cent increase in acreage,
it is thought considerable damage was
done, but it cannot be determined at this
limn.
Monroe Rainy and cold weather during
the past two weeks has retarded the
blooming of fruit trees. Present indica
tions' are rhat the damage from frost will
not exceed 10 per cent. From available in
formation there will be lo0 acres sown
to mint in this vicinity. Fall and spring
xmiins are looking fine, but there is
r nnsiderable acreage of spring grain which
ha not been sown owing to the continued
cold and wet weather. Hay and pastures
m.kinK rood growth and providing good
grazing for livestock. Present Indications
are that the potato acreage will show a
decrease account ox tne nign coat ox seeo
potatoes.
Wondbum Crops art at a standstill
tTnlm vicinity owing to the continued cold
weather and rains during; the past ten
days. While fall grain is up and looks well.
It is not. mUKllit BVu B '
8-reat deal of spring grain has been sewn
There was considerable new acreage of
hnni nlanted this year, also loganberries.
Fruft crops do not seem to be damaged
a a-reat deal by the cold weather.
Salem Acreage of fall grain is about
the same as last year, while oats and
spring wheat will probably show a slight
inrrsp. Last year there were 'approxi
mately 3000 acres of corn and this year
indications are lor a consiaeraoie increase.
i.n.rnberries are not showing up very well
as yet. There will be about 3000 acres
hearing and about lOOO Acres are being
nlunted: do not anticipate that the latter
will produce any crop this year. There
are approximately 500 acres of strawberries
bearing, and from present indications there
will be a heavy crop; there is also addition
al acreage being planted this spring. The
cherry acreage will be in the neighborhood
of. 500 acres; some damage occurred, but
not to any great extent. No damage seems
to have occurred to appm trees, while
DMchei and prunes seem to be more
elsa damaged, but unable to determine the
extent as yet.
Roseburg It Is estimated that the fall
wheat acreage is aoout uuo and spring
wheat 1200. Wheat looks exceedingly well
and prospects are bright for a good cron.
All fruit and berries look very promising
and were not damaged by the cold weather
last winter.
Grants Pass Fall and spring grain:
making good growth, especially since they
have been receiving late rainfall, which
has been very beneficial. Fruit so far
does not indicate any damage from cold
weather. Peach trees are in bloom. Slight
frost Sunday did no damage in this
vicinity.

EFFECT OF STRIKK 15? STILL FELT
Business Recovering Slowly From Recent
Labor Trouble.
NEW YORK, April 23. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say :
Trade and industry were rather Irregu
lar and while there are siena of improve
ment in the industrial field owing to the
gradual ending of the rallwa y strike,
the embers of this trouble are still a
cause of arrested movement and pro
duction. '
In retail trade, bad weather, excessive
rains and the cold, late spring are credited
with the chief responsibility for the little
better than fair reports received. In whole
sale trade, in which, as In retail trade,
manufacture and collections, the pace is
slower, conservatism bred of high prices,
the closer scrutiny of credits and the more
evident firmness of money in all markets
are causes assigned for the tapering off
of buying for the more distant future. Iir"l
no line are activities so marked as In
Jsnuarv. In Varch or In earlier April,
while as compared with a year ago, when
the foresh ado wings of the great ex pan
ilon of 1010 were becoming visible, neither
retail trade nor collections are so favor
ably regarded, though manufacture and
Indwslry of course have greatly improved

Ten Carloads of Hood Kivcr Apples
Sent Abroad With nirriculty.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. April 23. (Spe
cial.) The switchmen's strike and
other labor disturbances that have
recently centered In New York City,
according to John Oliver, eastern rep
resentative of Dan Wuille & Co., local
fririt merchants, have grlven shippers
endless trouble and annoyance. In a
letter to the local headquarters of
the exporting concern, Mr. Oliver tells
of the recent transfer by motor truck
of 11 carloads of apples to a steamer
sailing for England.
"We had to thread our way around
yards and find the cars and then
carry the apples long distances," he.
!ys. "We finally (rot ten cars ac-
counted for, hut the 11th was so lo
cated on tracks that we would have
had to carry every box of apples a
half mile on men's shoulders. We de
cided to wait for a switch engine."
