18,500,000 Bushels tho Estinmt
Washington Over Half.
PORTLAND, Ore., Juno 27.
Within a very short tlmo tho 1908
wheat harvest In the three Pacific
northwest states will start. Present
Indications aro for a crop of 48,500,
000 bushels in the three states, divid
ed as follows:
Oregon, 12,500,000 bushels; Ida
ho, 7,000,000 bushels, Washington,
29,000,000 bushels.
This will compare with a total of
59,000,000 bushels for 1907 and
47,521,855 bushels as Indicated for
3 906. It will therefore be noted Hint
this year's wheat crop promises to be
larger than that of two years ago,
although tho record-breaking produc
tion of a year ago will not be reach
ed by at least 4,000,000 bushels.
The productions shows a decrease
not becauso of uny decrease in acre
age for tho three states show an ac
tual Increase this year of about 200,
000 acres over 1907.
Perhaps one of the chief defects
during the growing season was tho
cold, raw and chilly weather during
late spring months.
This year tho three states have an
acreage of 2,54 0,000, as compared
with 2,340,000 during tho previous
year. This year Oregon had 725,000
acres sowed mostly to winter wheat
while the larger portion of Washing
ton 1,447,000 and Idaho's 374,000
acres were of tho spring vnrlety.
Spring wheat was principally affected
becauso of lack of rain during tho
winter and spring months.
