IS SHAPE Crop condition In the Pacific North weft today are not as rood in general a a year ag-o. although figures of pro duction Indicated by the government re ports are considered as showing a far greater loss than is actually the fact. It is true that some damage was done winter wheat and that the area Is not a liberal as a year ago. but this is nothing new, as would be indicated by the so-called official reports. In the Willamette valley conditions are rather good as a rule for winter wheat and preparations are being made to put much spring grain into the ground. Regarding Wee tern Oregon crop conditions, H. A. Hinahaw, general agent of the South am Pacific, haa issued the following report: Ashland Liberal rainfall and : normal tem perature in this section have enabled the farm ers to prepare their (round for making good grow. ptu rea Tb sou is in good condition and , making good arowth. Fall and spring grain, as well aa alfalfa, making good growtn. There do not seem U be any dam age to fruit on account of cold weather during th winter. Medtord There was a larfe acreage of wtiv- ' wheat sown last win tor. . weather conditions being such tbat plowing and seeding could be don an through the winter. Thia i now look ing well and from present indication the acre age is considerably larger tban usual. Present indications do not indicate that apple and pear orchards war injured to any extent by th cold weather during the winter. However, with con tinued favorable weather any damage which may nave exiatad will be developed shortly. Eugene The umn of fall-sown grain U estimated aa 10,000 aeree in this vicinity and the condition is normal. The acreage of spring gram is estimated at 3500 acre. Sowing a now under way. There doe not seem to have ben any damage of consequence to fruit trees and berriea due to the cold weather in Decem ber, r Ha ring th past two weekj there has been a considerable rainfall with moderate weather, which haa been rery favorable for growing crop and pasture. Lebanon Owing to the 'continued wet weath .er,T Uttl fring Plowing haa been done. The fall grain which wsi sown is up and there is a healthy stand; indications ar very favorable for a good crop. Pastures are making good grewtb. which is beneficial for grazing livestock. Frui and berries there sem in h.. w slight damage to berries from the cold spell in I December, but the extent of this damage can- nwi ne aeierminea until a little later. - J1'' "fther during the p,t two tlch is very beneficial to fall grain which u making good growth.

The severe winter weather caused rome damage to logan berries and it i rtimated that the crop will be about 80 per cent of normal, although it ia srmewhat early to determine the exsc.t damage. 1 A There haa been a considerable acreaee of l.tn. ; A berries ptantefl durine the winter t. : Bring prepared for planting of potato which : "i" be well under vay within the next 10 davs. .

As yet, fruit trees and berry buslie have not advanced suf- ficiently "u determine to what extent, if any, they were damaged by the cold weather in De- cembsr. There i a large acreage of loganber- rit oeing planted tnw spring. Corvallis There is anxiety on the rart of fruit growers thsTt if the cold rains continue early flowering irnit may be damaged. The cold weather in December damaged berriee. es pecially loganberries and peach end cherry tree, but to what extent it ia too early to determine at this time. Fall grain is up and in good eon d'tton. Ae yet, planting or spring grain ha not progressed very rapidly owing to continued rainy weather Monroe The damage to deciduous fruits ditr-in,- the winter by the heavy freeze cannot be determined until May or the early part of June. Orcbardists claim now that about 10 iter cen. of trees damaged. All Indications point to a 25 per rent increase in deciduous fruit ship ment!, from this section this year. Berries were bsdlj d rested by tlie freeze, but at thi time the exarb damage cannot be determined. From al' indications there will be 135 acres planted t min- in this vicinity. Fall wheat looking well, but thci cold weather Is retarding itfi growth, while what spring wheat haa been planted Is making a better growth than fall wheat Hay and pastures making good growth and providing good grazing for livestock. From present indi cations the potato acreage will be unusually heavy this year. Silvcrton Information at hand indicate that the acreage of fail wheat is about normal. Not a great deal of spring wheat has been planted, but fkrmers are now preparing the ground ior stme. From information available, there does net seem to have been a great deal of damage to the fruit trees and berry bushes due to the heavy freeze. Pastors are making rood growth and are very beneficial for grazing livestock. SDennsn it is estimated thet there is sp proximteiy 5000 acres of fall grain sown in this vicinity. 8om spring grain has been sown and ground is being prepared for the balance, alro oats. From present indications, the acre age of all of three grains will be about normal, while the hay acreage will probably rhow sn in crease. The condition of the fruit crop in this section is a mstter of much uncertainty as yet. Tears and apples appear to be injured, so far as this year's crop is concerned, but it is a little early to determine to just what extent. The Indications are that the prune trees hsvs been only slightly damaged by frost, but if the cold rains continue during the blooming season further damsge my occur. Cherry trees do not seem to be danisged so far aa can b as certained at this time. DAIRT PRODUCE OF THE COAST an Franelsoo Markat Sn Francisco. April 9. (U. P.) Butter Extras, 61c: prime firsts. 60c.

They are plac ing artificially high values upon bags at this time in order to influence grow ers to start buying hi large lots and thereby force still higher fig-urea. As high as 10 Vic each is said to be bid for grain bags by Northwest specula tire interests. It appears to be a sort of "gentlemen's agree ment'' whereby the bids are not snapped up and are advanced practically every day. Whether tbe speculators will be strong enough financially to swing the deal and gouge th grain grower remains to be fteen. The fact that a smaller crop is likely along the Coast and tbat about aa many bags aa a year ago were ordered, give some th impression that th speculator will tail. Only th future can tell thia. fillstuffs appear to be 'gaining in strength for future delivery and reports indicate that millers are about to advance their qaotatioo another notch or two next month.

Kent, field agent of th department of agriculture, advises: Winter wheat A condition of 91.0 per cent for Oregon and of 75.6 per cent for the U. 8. on April 1, indicated a probable production of 15.700.000 bu. in Oregon, arid a total L'. 8. crop of 483.617.000 bu. for the 1920 harvest. Last year crop was eslimawfl at lO.OtO.OeM) bu. for Oregon, and 731,636.000 bn. for the U. H. Two years agd the crop was 10.795.000 bu. in Oregon, and 565.099.000 bu. for the nation. ' In the state the 10-year average condition figure April 1 is 95.0 per cent. The 10-year i arVesge for the U. S. is 814 per cent. Dry j wea tiler early last fall and resulting late seeding, together with rather unfavorable conditions for ; spring growth are factors tending to the low aver- '. age condition in the state. Somewhat similar ' conditions exist throughout the country, with 1 the added factor of heavy damage from tbe j Hessian fly in some states. It is reported that considerable acreage ha arready been plowed I in some Middle Western states. A reduction of j 24.0 per cent in the screage own last fall as j compared with the seeding of a year ago last fall. : is sls a big factor in tb estimated total pro- , duction. i Rye In Oregon rye is grown as a forage crop, and comparaUvly little of the acreage sown ia I matured and threshed. The condition of the ', crop on April 1, is reported as 94.0 per cent j compared with a 10 year average of 97.0 peri cent. Th sres seeded Ust fall ia estimsted st 59.000 ces. The I . 8. April I condition figure 1 reported 88.8 per cent, .compared with 90.8 per cent a year ago. and a 10-year average of 89.0 per cent Total production in the IT. 8. for 1920 is placed at 75.841.000 bu. The 1919 crop wss 88. 478.000 bu., and the 1918 crop 91.041.000 bu. I,arge areas of the nter wheat acreage in Washington haT suffered from drought, wind injury, freezing, or erosion. The condition April 1 waa but 73 per cent of normal aa com pared with 97 per cent last year, 98 per cent April 1. 1918, and 70 per cent April 1. 1917. Although no estimate on th acreage abandoned will be issued until May, the report of G. 8. Ry. field agent for th federal buresu of crop, estimate, states tbat much reseeding will he done throughout the wheat belt of Eastern Washington. Big Wheat Deal Baker. April 9. J. F.

About the time It reached there some of the other inter ests in the company put out a statement claiming Vanadium to be anything but a Ryan stock. C. M. Schwab, T. Cole man Dupont, Harry Payne Whitney and C. M. MacN'eill claimed greater promi nence in it than Ryan. But traders had been buying It for a Ryan stock and when the other names appeared there was heavy profit taking that caused a reaction of six points before the day closed. Stromberg, which the street has tagged as a Ryan stock, shot up 9 points to the new high, record of 118. It also reacted in the afternoon, losing more thsn 10 points.

"The federal reserve system saved the country from a financial panic. But. on account of the lack of banking and eco nomic Judgment of the reserve board, the system haa been the major cause ot our Inflation of currency "and inflation of credit," said Frank A. Vanderlip In his address at the Chamber of Com merce Wednesday evening. To overcome this defect the board has. from' time to time, raised the discount rates, but in spite of its effort to restrict credit Inflation, the commercial loans of tha member banks hava Increased from nearly $18,000,000,000 In January to over $14,000,000,000 in March. A large amount of the loans made during February and March were made to large Investors te meet the requirement of th lnoome tax. The recipient of large incomes during 1911 had to face a 79 per cent tax on their Income, and In some states an additional tax had to be met. The present income taxation explains the tightening of the adventurous dollar and the broadening: Inquiry of tax free securities. In which today there lei In vested $14,000,000,000. It Is estimated; that large investors, if investing In taxable securities, would have to figure on an 18 per cent basis to realise as much as 4 4 per cent on tax exempt Investments. The result is that the latter Is far more attractive to the Investing public Tnk dried in atlck form is used in' con nection with a pen that a New Tork man has Invented, being mad ready for use by dipping jn water.
