Weather too cold. These three words tell the exact condition of the 1916 grain crops In the states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. From practically every section of the Pacific northwest, special crop correspondents of The Journal announce that weather conditions dur ing the month may have continued agaiust the cereal crops. This perhaps Is pot the most serious draw back to the three state producing even an average crop of wheat thla season. In the first place the acreage is so greajjy reduced below the normal of recent season that even were weather conditions ideal, the total crop could scarcely be up to the average. The protracted rainy period during the early fall, the entire winter and spring months, gave little opportunity for farmers to get In their normal acreage of grain. In some sec tions less than a half normal acreage Is shown. As a general rule the light land sections sre showing the best crop condition this Reason. The Columbia river section of Oregon Is espe cially fortunate considering the standing of the crtps elsewhere. In the light land sections of Lniatilla county, Oregon and in Walla Walla county, Washington, the prosjs?cts are far bet ter than In the so called heavy laud sections. Weeds are giving more than the usual amount of trouKle in the wheat fields of the three states, the damage being especially noticeable In the heavy land sections. As a rule the showing of spring wheat la much better than in the winter planting, and both oata and barley are showing a better con dition than wheat. Reports from some of the leading districts show : Oregon. Athena Winter wheat condition So per cent, spring wheat 80 per cent; vteather has been entirely too cold. Wheat is very backward and weedy. Freewater Winter wheat condition 75 per cent, spring wheat 80 per cent, barley 85 per cent, hay S7 per cent, oals 85 per Cent; weather remains unfavorable up lo June 1. Conditions are apt u improve it given 80 days of good weather. The Dalles Winter wheat condition 50 per cent, spring wheat GO per cent. Lay 50 per cent, oats 50 per cent: crops show poor con dition, due to cold weather. Warm, suitable weather would Improve conditions, but no one can tell to what extent. Btayton Winter wheat condition 90 Der cent. srrtng wheat 10O per cent, hay and oata 100 per cent; crop conditions are good except fall wheat. General condition slightly under the average. Pendleton Winter wheat condition a little below average, with spring wheat slightly bet ter than winter; barley cuudl'.lou good, aud hay good. boine sections are very spotted, espe cially In the heavy land districts. Light lauds have a very good prospect. All need warmer weather. Orass Valley Winter wheat condition fair. spring wheat fair, oats and burley fair; weath er conditions axe too cold to be favorable to growing grain. Crops are not advanced aa far usual. Independence Winter wheat condition 1)5 per cent, spring wheat, oats, bay and barley 100 per cent. General conditions are fairly good. Perrydale Winter wheat condition WO per cent, spring wheat 90 per cent, bay 83 per cent,- oats 95 per cent. General conditions con tinue backward and below the normal. Heppner Winter wheat condition 95 per cent, spring wheat and barley 100 per cent, hay 90 per cent. Crops at this time, though scinewhat later than usnal. are of very good color and coming along nicely. General pros pects at thla lime are for good average crop, or better. Weston Winter wheat condition W to 75 per cent, spring wheat 75 per cent, barley 00 per cent. Season is tbr.'e to four weeks late. Favorable weather from now on may bring win ter wheat up to 75 or 80 per cent. Some fields quite weedy, which wiil cut down yield. Dallas All wheat and Iwrley acreage U small; hay and oats average; fall grain and hay needs sun and warmer weather; spring grain looks well. Wallowa Winter wheat condition fair, hay fsir. Farmers are just finishing seeding tuelr spring wheat, oats and barley. Owing to tho backward spring it Is Impossible to tell defi nitely now what the crops will do. There Is plenty of moisture, and with a few days of sunshine this section will bare good pros pects. Sheridan Winter and spring wheat condi tions good, barley good, hay outlook excellent and oata good. General conditions very good. Washington. Walla Walla Winter wheat condition poor, 65 to 80 per cent, spring wheat 70 to 80 per cent, barley 70 to 80 per tent, bay 75 per cent, winter wheat not doing well, very yellow and full of weeds; spring wheat looking very well, but late; cutting first crop alfalfa, but the yield very disappointing. Koblotos Winter wheat 00 per cent, spring wheat 75 per cent, crop very backward for pprmg planting and fall wheat poor, with a small acreage. Garfield Wheat condition very backward; weather has been too cool for seasonable growth. . Colfax Outlook shows no change from last month; acreage U small and weather too cold. Dayton Acreage all grains decreased and stoollng not as good as normal; weather has been unseasonably cold. Idaho. Lewlston Winter wheat condition SO per cent, soring wheat 80 per cent. A two dsys' auto trip over the Palouse territory indicates a short acreage, ana crops not loosing gooa. Moscow Acreage In wheat very abort and condition extremely bsckward, due to cold weather. Welser Grain crop conditions are backward and only fair, with the acreage decreased. Montana. Lewlstown Too cold weather; plenty of moisture; crops very backward. Billings Crops making more satisfactory growth, but conditions still below the normal, due to cold weather. Plains Winter wheat condition favorable, but backward. Plevna Grain all sown, but late; condition winter wheat Is good. Glasgow Warm weather needed; ground full of mouuure; wheat s tooling well. Deer Lodge Winter wheat backward and op 2 to 4 Inches; spring wheat getting above the ground. BANK STATEMENTS OF COAST Portland Banks.

Cohen APPLE MARKET ARE IN THE BALANCE Much Depends Upon Hcod River as to Successful Start Lane Coun ty First of Oregon Units to. Join Hood River Asks Change. The action of the Lane County Fruit Grow ers' sssoclatlon in voting to Joia the so-called government plsn of marketing ; apples, gives to that organlieatlon the honor of being the leader of the Oregon organizations to parti cipate in the idea to save the apple market from being ruined by the growers themselves. Hood River apple Interests have crested much Interest by their recent statements as to the cause of their not joining the other districts, but It Is stated rhat a real attempt is being made by Hood Klver to Join. Unless Hood River Joins the organized st tcmpt to regulate the apple market, it Is not likely to prove a success. At this time any big district is In a position lo nullify all the efforts of the government to aid the apple trade. Hood River claims that Hs by l.'.ws will not admit of the association Join ing and is ssktng the government interests to change the pian so they cau 'participate, I' HOOD RIVER ASKS CHANGE Wants Governhient Plan Interests to Fix Condition to Aid Joining. Hood River. Or.. June 7. That the Ho.id River apple growers will have an upportunl'y to vote on tbe question as to whether tbe Apple Growers' association shall become a member of ihe Fruit Growers' agency that 14 to be the administrative body of all the or guniaztiuns that-sign the uniform contract fr the handling of the fruit crop of the l'sciflc northwest, u evolved by the government's bu resu snd department of marketing, was set tled at a meeting of. the board of directors of the Hood River Apple Growers' association held last night snd that ran over a midnight session. Th? Ikiard of directors ps'sed several resolutions suggesting changes in the by-laws ot ihe Fruit Growers' ageucy that would mike it possible for the local sssociation to come under Ita regime and the resolutions have to day been forwarded to tho officials of the agency for their spproval and ratification, and if the Fruit Growers' agency will adopt the changes proposed by the Hood River Apple Growers' association, the associations hokril lt Hiru.'lflr.

I A. 1a ' bring the proposition before the growers st special meeting snd reommend tha the .grow ers authorize the assoclstlon to become sfrij Jatfd with the government's agency. It is reported that one of the privileges demanded by the Hood River association Is that all resolutions and actions adopted by the board of directors of the Fruit Growers' agency in its administrative capacity be at once communicated to the Hood Klver asso ciation, whether the Hood Klver association have a representative present ot the time of such action of tbe board or not, and that if the proposed action of the 'ward ot directors does not meet with tbe appruvul of the !jesl association, that it shall have the privilege of withdrawing its membership from the agen cy at auy time within 40 days. It Is also reported that the Hood Klver association will SBk that the minimum charge per car of fruit to be made for the excuse budget of the agency to be charged to the Hoed River ssso clatlon shall not exceed .00 per tar. While rumors are current oa the streets fhst the reason that the Hood River Apple Growers' esEOciation has not joined the government plan before la because oOjer private interesta were in control of tbe agency Is denied by the if f.clals here. It is expected that one of the first reforms that will be sought by the Hood Klver fruit Interest, If it shall affiliate' Itself with the agency, is tbe matter of the charge made by , railroads for icing cars for transcontinental : fruit shipments, which is said to be $70. when ' in reality tbe cost should not .exceed $35. i The members of tbe board of directors of the local association are willing to bring its 1, 000.000 apple product under the regime of the agency if Us proposed amendments sre adopted. x LANE COUNTY HAS HONORS First of Oregon Vnits to Join Gov ernment in Applo Marketing.

Security SafeD eposit Company Fifth and Morrison Portland, Ore. ft, s F inance - Commerce --Industry Free Collection of Checks by Federal Reserve Bank Discussed at . Bankors' Convention by Acting Deputy Governor President Poorman Urges Salary Raise for State Superintendent of Ranks. rra Collection of Chscgs Defended, i Tha principal Interest in the Tues day session of the Oregon Btate Bank ers association centered about the speech of Joan U. Calkins, acting dep uty governor of tbe Twelfth district federal reserve bank. He said the plan to collect checks free of charge through the federal reserve bank waa actuated by an effort to be of service to the banking system of the United States. If the new plan resulted in taking away from the banks some of the re serve balances which they now enjoy, It must give them something as good in return. Mr. Calkins' defended the Idea as fundamentally sound. He said it was opposed to the present practice which he declared was fundamentally unsound. While the rules and regula tions which would be issued at first w'puld not cover all cases, nor could the system be expected to work to per fection from the start, its develop ment would come by experience. Circular on Cleatlng Flan Will Be Issued In rewDays. Mr. Calkins an nounced that the Twelfth district uank would very shortly issue the circular of- instructions concerning tha new system of clearing checks. In- the be ginning the banks will not he obliged to send any items to the federal re serve bank which they can clear through their regular correspondents. It niay develop that the system will require the establishment of collec tion and clearing agencies for the dis trict bank and the banks will be per mitted to clear through them. While he said tho plan was not mandatory, lie believed by forre of circumstances the banks would later find it necessary to join in the plan. ITo Becommendation for Chang In State Banking Laws. j. M. Poor mar, president of the Oregon State Bankers' association, in his annual ad dress, said he had no changes In the state banking laws to propose. He thought the legislative committee would have no bills to present at the next sension of the legislature. The president did recommend, however, that the legislature endeavor to get in creases in the salaries of the state superintendent of hanks and his assist on ts, so that the compensation which they would receive would equal the amount which they would receive as FALL BELOW NORMAL, Apples Will Be About 75' Per Cent, Prunes 75, Cherries 50, and Pears 35, Albany, Or., June 6. 5V. A. Bodlne, a prominent horticulturist of this city, whose profession Is caring for fruit trees, is authority for the state ment that the apple crop in Linn county will be about 75 per cent of normal this year, the prune crop 75 per cent, the chenry crop 50 per cent and the pear crop 3b per cent of normal. Peaches, berries and most all other fruits will be about normal. Avery unusual feature of the crop this year is the pear shortage. Pears are nearly always a sure-fire crop, and a larire percentage of normal. If not normal crops can usually be depended upon. But 35 per cent Is way short.. This is due to the heavy rains during the pollinization season and the exceed ingly late spring. Mr. Bodlne states that the Kran quette walnut crop looks full otn the grafted trees, but the soedlinK are generally a failure. The latter Mooni earlier and were caught by a frost. Mr. Bodine, In a survey made a short time ago. estimates that there are S.'OO acres of Kranqitette walmils planted In tills county, not all of which are in bearing.

According to President i'oorman, the state banks of Oregon earned but 6.3 per cent on their capital and surplus last year. This return tie thought was Insufficient He said the bluine was due to high taxes, high prlceB of bonds, and overassessment of their property for purposes of taxation compared to assessments of, other property. Of the 177 state banks 75 did not declare any dividends and 82 had operating expen ditures in excess of their earnings. Delegates Oo to Credit Men's Con- ventlon. li. K.
