S.. has the fotlowins from agents concerning grain and other crop condi- uons . Willamette Valley Eugene The harvesting of the crops in this vicinity is about completed and the results are about as estimated in the early part of the sea son. Beans will not be up to the estimate, same kind of a bug has attacked the vines, coupled with the lack of rain has reduced the estimate made by 25 per cent. The potatoes, however, will be about the average yield. Corn also needs rain, the stalks look firm but the ears are not filling out and unless we have some rain it will not be near a normal crop. Forest Grove Fall grown wheat 80 per cent normal. Spring grain 50 per cent. Hay arop is an average yield but acreage haa been cut 40 per cent. Late potatoes promise well but acreage is only sbout 70 per cent of last year. All fruits are yielding well and quality good. Beaverton Wheat has shown an average around 20 bushels per acre. Spring shown wheat was a failure as was oata and vetch. Chicago Hogs 820.00 Chieago. Aug. 13. (I. N. S.) Hogs Esti mated receipts 28.000, lower.
