THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1920 19 OREGON CROPS SHOW GUNS IfJ MONTH Wheat Yield, Is Estimated at 22,500,000 Bushels. MORE OATS THAN YEAR AGO About 60.D00 Bales or Hops Will lie Produced Apple Output Short of 1919. Improvement in condition of all the principal Oregon crops during July is in dicated from the compilation of reports received by F. L. Kent, agricultural sta tistician for the bureau of crop estimates, TTnited States department of agriculture. Rainfall for the month was more than twice the normal amount. Some damage to hay resulted, also to cherries, but grow ing crops generally were .much benefited, and the prospect now is for the best per acre yield of all spring-sown crops since 1916. There was some hail damage in the eastern portion of the stats, but practi cally no crop loss from hot winds. Pretty high temperatures prevailed in the west ern part of the state on J uly 6 and 7, with moderately high temperatures else where. On the 27th above 100 degrees was reported from points in the north eastern part of the state. "Winter wheat. Comparatively little threshing was done during July, hence ac tual yield per acre reports are not avail able for the heavier producing sections. On the lighter lands of the wheat belt 15 bushels per acre appears to be about an average yield, with a prospect of SO to 35 bushels per acre on the heavier soils. Some western Oregon fields are producing 35 to 40 bushels per acre and 25 bushels is estimated to be a conservative yield for Whole counties. The average yield per acre for the state as a whole is estimated at 23 bushels. With an estimated area of 603,000 acres the Oregon winter wheat crop for 1020 should be about 16.500,000 bushels. The 1919 crop was esstimated (final) at IK.010,000 bushels. Spring wheat. Favorable growing con ditions during July Improved the condi tlon of sprtng sown wheat, the August 1 condition figure for the state as a whole being 93 per cent, indicating a probable per acre yield of about 19 bushels. With an estimated spring wheat acreage in the state of 3'fi.OOO, the total spring wheat crop should be about 6,000,000 bushels, making the total wheat production of the state for 1920 around 22,500 bushels. Oats. J uly weather conditions were cry favorable for the development of the oats crop and the August 1 condition fig ure as reported by field aids (96 per cent) Indicates an average per acre yield for the state of about 41 bushels. With an estimated oat acreage of 350,000 the 1920 crop should amount to about 14.350,000 bushels. While very little threshing has so far been done, the heads are well formed and well filled and the prospect is very promising. Cutting is practically finished, except of some late sown fields. The 1919 Oregon oat crop was estimated at 11.104.0OO bushels. Corn. The "condition of the corn crop In Oregon on August 1 was placed at 95 per cent, a gain of two points over the July condition figure. Oregon corn is grown mainly for silage purposes, al though an increasing percentage is each year grown for the grain. Potatoes. Condition of the potato crop In the state Improved during July and was reported as 1O0 per cent of normal on August 1. This condition promises a yield of around 140 bushels per acre for the state as a whole. With an estimated acre age of 43.000, the 1920 crop should be ap proximately 6,000,000 bushels, compared t with the 1919 estimate of 4.230.OO0 bush els. The United States potato crop fot 1920 is now estimated at 402.000.000 bush els, compared with an estimate of 3H8, 000,000 bushels on July 1. 1920. and 358, 600,000 bushels for the crop of 1919. Hay. Reports indicate that the state acreage devoted to hay crops is about 3 per cent larger than last year or about 680,000 acres of tame hay. Condition of the crop is placed at 95 (production), indl - eating a total tame hay production for 1920 of about 1,920,000 tons, compared with the 1919 production of 1,432.000 tons. Apples? The Oregon total apple crop Is estimated for 1920 at about 3.425.000 bushels, about 60 per cent of which will probably be of commercial quality. The 1919 apple crop was estimated at 5,579,000 bushels. The United States crop for 1920 i agricultural crop) is estimated at 213, 187,000 bushels, compared with 147.457.006 bushels In 1919. Hops. The Oregon hop acreage for 1920 Is estimated at 9O00 acres mature hops and 3000 acres of "baby" hops. The for mer should produce about 1000 pounds per acre this season, and the latter about 200 pounds per acre, making a probable total tate crop of about 9,600,000 pounds. The United States hop crop is estimated at 87.696.01)0 pounds, compared with the 1919 production of 29,346,000 pounds. The condition of other Oregon crops on August 1. 1920, is estimated as follows: Barley, 93 per cent; timothy, 9 per cent; alfalfa, 97 per cent; pasture. 94 per cent; field peas, 96 per cent; field beans, 95 per cent; tomatoes, 95 per cent; cabbage. 95 per cent; onions, 94 per cent; peaches, 25 per cent; grapes, 70 per cent; pears. 65 per cent ; rye, yield per acre. 15 bushels, quality, 95 per cent. INLAND EMl'IRK HAS GOOD RAIN Late Grain, Vegetables and Pasture Are 4ireat ly Benefited. W. O. Paine, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle railway, wired that the Inland Empire enjoyed a good, soak ing rain of 24 hours duration yesterday, which is going to prove of great benefit to late grain, vv-getables and pastures. While slowing up harvest and work some what, there will be little or no damage to ripening wheat in that district from the rain. Weather in the vicinity of Yakima continues very' warm and canta loupes and melons are ripening very fast. In the Lewis ton district harvest is progressing In fine shape and some thresh ing has been done, with a yield of 30 to 40 bushels per acre, and plenty of men available for harvest. The weather Is warm, but there ' was no excessive heat during the past week. In the Pull man and Lew u ton district and on the Genesee branch, while a great deal of grain has been cut. no threshing has ben done. Crops are good, yielding 20 to 30 bushels per acre. In the prairie districts but little grain has been cut, but fall crops are fine and promise a splendid yield. Spring grain needs rain, but will maks a crop without it, provided It doea not get too hot. Taking the dis trict as a w hole, the crop will be very heavy, with no shortage of farm labor In any locality. HEW ZEALAND BITTER ON COAST prices Quoted Not . Much Below That Current Here. New Zealand butter has arrived at San Francisco and Is being offered to the local trade at 61 cents, duty paid. San Fran cisco. The presence of this imported but ter may later have some effect on the coast market, but the price at which, it Is offered now is too close to quotations current here to interest local buyers. Eggs were firm, with buying and selling prices unchanged and receipts small. Poultry arrivals vwere of fair size and cleaned up readily at the old prices. Dressed veal was slow sale at a lower quotation in spite of very small receipts. WHEAT MARKET HAS FIRMER TONE Bids A vera ire Higher on Local Board With Advance in East, There was a firmer feeling in the wheat market yesterday at the local ex change.

Crop reports, further recoveries in sterling- exchange and the increased show ing in the unfilled tonnage figures of United States Steel were factors in cre ating a better sentiment. Purchases of high-class railroad stocks continued. Further experiments on the short Bide were successful among sugars, tobaccos, shippings and some of the steels, motors and equipments.

Bullish Tone of Federal Report Also Aids in Uplift In Chicago Market. CHICAGO, Auf. 10. Opinions that the government crop report u bullish on wheat, although bearish on corn and oata. did a rood -deal today co lift the wheat market and to rally other era ins. Wheat closed strong; 4c to 6c net higher with December $2.37 to $2.3S. and March $li-41V-. i Corn grained lc and oats He to lc. In, provisions the outcome waa a decline vary ing from 2c to S5c Aggressive buying on the Dart of a big elevator interest accompanied the rise in the value of wheat, and there were also reports that foreign governments, notably the French, were purchasing under cover. Sharply higher prices for Argentine wheat bad an additional bullish effect, and so. too. did word from a leading crop expert that North Dakota wheat had deteriorated 15 per cent or more In the ten days since the figures for the Washington crop re port were obtained. Corn apd oats, as well as wheat, were in a?ctive demand from elevator interests. Provisions declined with. hogs. The Chicago market ietter received yes terday by Overbeck, & Cooke company ot Portland said: Wheat Although the market was a shade lighter at the opening, selling pres sure was conspicuous by its absence and an undercurrent ot strength was evident throughout the session. The Government report issued yesterday waa somewhat of a disappointment and had a restraining influence on short selling. The domestic milling demand of the past week has shown a gradual improvement, as evi denced by the firm cash markets, in face of the disinterested attitude of exporters. An analysis of the statistical position sug gests adequate supplies and an extended bull market is not in sight at the moment. corn started at the low point and fin ished at the top, contrary to the expecta tions of the majority. In fact. It waa be came sentiment was too unanimously bearish that the market became oversold In the break and when outside liquidation fail-ed to materialize the ensuing rally was accompanied by liberal covering of short contracts. Cash corn was steady to 1 ""to 2 cents advance, maintaining the same premium over September as yesterday. The most active buying was by an eleva tor interest, while the shipping denfand was slow. Messages from points In 2tli sourl today taid in effect "the drought scare Is a thing of the pest." The month of July witnessed such broad fluctuation and such a precipitate d-ecllne that a back ing and filling market should evince no surprise at this time. We are, however, confronted with a super-abundance of supplies for the future and with this In mind we think the logical course will be to meet the bulge with sales. Oats Followed the action of corn, with buying of futures by a leading elevator interest the feature. Cash premiums were a share better early but again eased to wards the close .and No. 2 white were quoted 8Ae to 4c over SeDtember.

Roofing is made on a foundation of Carey Felt, produced in. the Carey factory especially for the purpose. It is not to be classed with roofing manufactured of ordinary felt because Carey Felt is unusually tough and strong, yet so constructed that it soaks up y times its own weight of Carey Asphalt just as a. sponge soaks up water . The Felt is run through a hot hath of Asphalt. When the Asphalt cools it will not change its form under any ordinary degree of heat or cold. Therefore Pasco Roofing gives long service in all climates. Carey Asphalts are the result of 47 years of practical experience and scientific investigation. That is why we recommend Carey Roll Roofings and why you will find they ' will give you better service. Write or phone the 6ize of your buildings and w will quote prices.
