Oregon's grains have, upon repeated . occasions, been awarded high recog nition -at both National and International Expositions. - Statistics, compiled by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, prove conclusively that yields of . grain per acre, in Oregon are far in excess of the per acre production of similar crops In other great agricultural states. The following, averages over 'a ten-year period indicate this fact graphically: ; Bushels Per Acre ' ' Wheat Oats Barley Minnesota .;..V 13.0 31.7' -25.7 Indiana 14.2 29.0 25.4 v ' - Missouri ..... 13.4 23.4 ; 21.9 Kansas . . . . . . 14.0 ; 24.4 19.8 ! No. Dakota .... 12.1 29.7 123.0 I So. Dakota .:... l.l 31.6 i 25 OREGON'..... 19.5 30.0 32.2 Natural causes, mostly, effect this super-production of grain crops in Oregon. Probably the most impor tant - are the Ideal climatic conditions which are coming to be recognized as one of this state's great est assets. Cool nights cause a very'heavy stool from the parent plant, running as high as eighteen and twenty shoots to the plant; while on the other hand, the warm days and continued sunshine precipitate a very heavy heading out. ; - ' . The recent growth in wheat, our - most valuable grain, is shown in the following comparative state ment: - - 1914 Wheat.. 16,604,000 bu. Oats.. . 12,740,000 bu. Barley.. 3,660,000 bu. Corn . . . ' - 660,000 bu. 1 1919 20,400,000 bu. 9,993,690 bu. 1,880,150 bu. : 1,875,000 bu. The decrease shown in the production of oats and barley is accounted for by the fact that greater acre sge was put into wheat to meet the enormous demand for wheat-flour during the Great War. The total valuation of Oregon's grain' crop last year was S10S.510.000 an increase of $ 30.000.6oo over the year preceding and an Increase of S60.0O0.- vwu uvcr tue valuation xji ine grain crop live years ago.
