Many of the trees survived the severe winter and blossomed daring- the spring as though nothing- un usual had happened, and glowing re ports were heard about the large crops, i Another story la being told now tn some parts, where it has been found that tha trees nave not enough vitality to bring their crops U maturity. Tba leaves ara shriveling up and the fruit dropping and in many case tha treea ara found to be dead. H ia not s Question of lark of moisture, aa Oregon baa had more rain i this summer tha a in many seasons paat. The tree were weakened so badly last winter that they simply could not recuperate and bear fruit the same aeaaon. i Many grower could probably have saved the trees which survived the winter, from dying at this time, if they had picked off almost all the fruit, shortly after it waa formed, and thus al lowed tha trees to build up. The prune drop in some sections is reported to be quite heavy, and this is laid to the severe cold of last winter. Grain Markets Up j In Early Trading Chicago, Aug. 27 (L N. S.) Wheat fu tures led the upturns ia tha grain lUt on tba board of trade today, allesrrains closing higher.

September oats closed He higher; De cember He to c up, and May, He to He higher. Provisions were higlier. Karly strength in wheat induced considerable vliort jeovering in corn, but at top gains good sell ing i was encountered ! and during the last hour of i the session trade was mixed, prices closing fractionally higher. Oats followed tha trend of corn. Shorts and elevator interests bid prices up early, but when corn broke oats eased off, closing fractionally higher. i : Provisions were up sharply on buying to stockyards interests. ; I n I -' : Chicago.

Season to date Tear ago ... 99 At a moment when the question- of the world's grain supply is of surpassing in terest in every country, mst opportune information is published by the Inter national Institute of Agriculture. After: furnishing an accurate staiement of the cereal situation during the current sea-: son, and collating- In tabular form all available data aa to yield, trade, con sumption, price, and rates of ocean freight for wheat and ry. -conclusions of great value are brought ut- .On April 1, 1920, there were still 103 mil lion quintals (Quintal 220,40 pounds) of vrheat and rye available for shipment from the exporting countries (00 million iin North Amer ica, 32 million in South America, and 13 million- ia Australia).- The importing coun triea are shown to require between April 1 ' and the periods of their respective harvests 81 tnil- l lion quintals. The stocks at 5 that date were consequently sufficient not only to supply all requirements up to nsrrest tuna! in toe noruiern hemisphere but also to leave a iaurpius available In the coming season. ; According to the figures just quoted, this surplus should be 24 million quintals on August 1. 1920, but it may be even larger In tbe probable evest of insufficient .means of transporting tha whole of the 81 mil lion quintals within the bmita of tba four closing months of the current campaign.' AOOD HARVE8T IN EUROPE! Turning to the coming season, the . Statistical Notes proceed to make some j forecasts, based upon such fscts ss are already available: j (a) Importing Countries The generally fa vorable character of the summer points to a good harveat in Europe. If the present promise is realised it may ba assumed that the aggregate requirements of the large importers will ba appreciably leas tbaa in tha past leer. I U. S. CROP SHORT (b) Exporting Countries jl) It is quit doubtful whether Roumanis ean do anything material toward tba world's supply next season owing to tha seriously reduced ares sown last autumn. As regards Russia there is no means of forming s definite opinion. 1(2) British India has bad a larger crop than last year and even over average. It therefore seems probable that exposts will recommence next ' season after their present suspension. (3) The United States expects a crop falling short of that of 1019. but above the average of pre-war seasons. There ara no official Canadian estimates, but it is stated that the crop is doing well and the yield may be considerably larger than last year's, i Taking into account the old crop stocks re maining on hand at i the opening of tha new season, it may be assumed that the available exportable surplus of wheat and rye from North America during tba season 1920-21 will ba greater than the quantity exported in the current season. '"-! I The outlook: of tba earning iyesr may, there fore, be summarized so far ai tha present sit uation indicates as one which! does not Justify sny serious anxiety, either with respect to the needs of tha importers or to that extant of avail able supplies in the exporting conn tries. j .

According to Dis trict Horttcnlturalist E. . i Wood, the prune crop for Walla Walls county) will be from SO to 70 csrs less than was at! first officially a timtted.
