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

The advance was not wholly maintained,

Bullish Tone of Federal Report

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. The

asphalt roof protection
PASCO. 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.
