the abandonment of wheat acreage J practicable to take them to the new
sown in the fall of 1920, was much,
less than usual, being estimated at
4.6 percent as compared with 11.9
percent last year and a ten year aver
age of about 11.0 percent. Owing to
the low abandonment figure the total
winter wheat crop of the United
States is now estimated at' about 8,
000,000 more than the April 1 esti
mate; that is, 629,287,00 bushels.
Hay. There appears to be a flight
decrease in tho total hay acreage of
the state as compared with a year ago
but condition of the hay fields and
' meadows on May 1, 1921, was estimat
ed at 99.0 percent of normal, compar
ed with 93.0 a year ago. Considerable
new acreage was seeded to alfalfa
last year but a considerable area of
old fields have been plowed up and
seeded to other crops which will late
be resown to alfalfa. The high prices
prevailing for hay during recent years
(prior to this year) have caused grow
ers to hold on to run down alfalfa
fields longer than would ordinarily be
considered good farming practice.
Present hay crop condlton Indicates
a state production of about 2,025,000
tons of tame hay and 240,000 tons of
wild hay. The percent of last year's
hay crop remaining on farms on May
1, 1921, is estimated at 12.0 percent,
compared with 5.0 percent in 1920,
with 5.0 percent in 1919, and S.O per
cent in 1918.
Spring plowing and seeding. The
acreage finished is considerably below
the usual in the western part of the
state. In most counties of the eastern
part of the state, this work Is at about
the usual stage. Ordinarily it is pos
sible to do considerable plowing in
tho western portion of the state dur
ing the months of January and Febru
ary. This season there was practical
ly no early spring plowing done be
fore the latter part of March. This
condition has thrown practically all
of the spring work forward, with the
result that the. normal amount has not
been accomplished at this date. In the
eastern portion of tho state, the condl
tions have been very favorable for
spring plowing and seeding, except
in the counties of Union and Wallowa
where the work has been delayed by
more than the usual amount of rain
fall. In the principal wheat growing
districts the summer fallow plowing
is well along, in fact, has been flnshed
on many farms.
Fruit. Considerable difference of
opinion exists with reference to the
condition of the fruit crop of the state.
It is known that there was consider
able damngo to early fruits such ns
peaches and apricots, from freezing,
In some sections, while other sec
tions suffered no Injury. Just what ef
fect the continued rainy weather of
the Intter part of April and early May
has had on pollenzation is yet to be
determined. In some parts of the state
apples are just now in full bloom and
the amount of fmit that will set Is yet
to be determined.

one of the early days of the new

Just as he reached the sidewalk from

Dr. Percy Stlckney Grant, bachelor
rector of tho Church of the Ascension,
has been one of the active almost
radical supporters of free speech in
the country. So active in fact and so
radical that he has received rebukes
from hia bishop. The other night he
suffered from effort to suppress such
freedom as violently as though ho had
been the tyrant over freedom all of
his career. For a 10-day baby was
dropped on the rector's doorstep. It
seemed to be a baby with a grievance,
and there was no one in the -bachelor
household to look after it but the rec

while the baby walled. He was still
walking when some of his parish
came to his rescue in the morning.
NEW YORK, May 16. The young
man who gives the bpst tips to wait

adays isn't necessarily the careless
spender ho might be taken for. It
may very well bo hia upecial marlc
of thrift. Since the cost of food' soar
ed up and up and still girls seem
to expect to be asked out to dine,
an understanding grew up between
the men who took them and the
waiters of the special restaurants.
The waiters are generally a sympa
thetic lot if it doesn't cost them
anything. So now when the young
man leans back and says with the
air of a millionaire, a connoisseur,
and so forth, "What is particularly
good tonight, George?" "George" re
sponds impressively with the least
expensive thing on the menu. It's
easy then to order it without even
glancing at the card. And the good-

Newspaper Advertising
Starts the Wheels
In November, business had a bluish cast.
The financial waters were troubled.
Corn and wheat and cotton were tumb
ling business was halting and hesitating.
Everywhere you heard the croakers say,
"People are not buying."
Then the retailers took the cold plunge.
They began to readjust prices and offer in
ducements. And they advertised the fact advertis
ed it in the newspapers of their home cit
ies. They kept at it and kept at it.
After a bit, buying began to wake up
slowly at first, then in greater volume.
Progressive merchants who know news
paper advertising pulls progressively went
at it harder.
Business grew better and better, and by
the last part of December many merchants
were reporting record-breaking sales, and
taking the country as a whole, business
was good.
Newspaper advertising saved the day
and made it possible for the merchants to
clear their shelves and reorder from the
manufacturer thus loosening tho clogged
stream of commerce and setting the fac
tory wheels in motion.
Newspaper advertising is the greatest
single business force on this continent to
day. USE THE CHRONICLE
