REPORTS FROM OREGON CROPS Fruit, Grain and Vegetables Reduced by Weather Con ditions PORTLAND. Or.. June 8. A good soaking rain followed by warm weather is the need bf grain and fruit growers all over Oregon accord ing to the observation of F. L. Kent, field agent or the V. S. department or crop estimates, for Oregon, ram menting on cron conditions on "June first. HI comments are as follows: Weather conditions. The month of May has been tiie of the coldest May months on record for the state of Oregon. Rainfall was fairly gen eral throughout the state during the month, but the amount was insuffi cient for the real' needs of crops. Many sections of the state suffered rrom light frosts during the month. In some localities these frosts were severe enough to kill tender vegeta tion, such as tomato plants and fie like. Early planted potatoes were pretty badly "nipped" In some sec tions. In certain localities severe damage was done to fruit during the first hair of the month. A good soaking rain followed by warm weather would be greatly appreciat ed In all parts of the state. Wheat Both spring and fall seed ing would be materially benefited by a warm rain in all parts of the state. Generally the crop has not yet suffered for want of moisture except In some of the drier localities. But low temperatures have retarded the growth during the month. Growth on May 1st. 1918. was greatly in ad vance of last year, and somewhat ahead of, normal, but the condition of growth on June 1st. 1918, was some what behind the normal Tor that season or the year. Some wire worm damage is reported from Eastern Or egon, and aphis and Hessian fly dam age In the Willamette Valley. Indications are that the acreage of both winter and. spring wheat is materially Increased over last year and over the average. . Compilation of large number of reports from the crop and farm labor survey indicate an increase for 1918 over the 1917 plantings of 35 per cent In the area seeded to winter wheat, and an In crease or about 2 per cent in the spring wheat area. With favorable weather! conditions from now until harvest time the state shauld product about 20,000,000 buKhels of wheat. Oats.-f-The Crop Survey referred to indicates an increase of about 7 per cent f In the area seeded to oats. Weatlier conditiohs have been rath er unfavorable for the oat crop, the same as above referred to for wheat. i Barley.-t-The Oregon Crop Survey indicated an Increase of about 10 per cent In the acreage sown to larley. Reports from Field Aids on June 1st indicate that this intended increase In both barley and oats planting has probably taken place. Hay. The Increased acreago In wheat, oats and barley has natur ally utilized some of the land which normally would have been In hay crops. . In some of the alfalfa grow ing sections wheat has been planted where alfalfa has usually been grown In the clover growing sections of Western Oregon the clover acreage has been very materially reduced as a natural result of the increased planting of wheat and oats. Tho vetch crop, which is largely used for hay in Western Oregon, has been ser iously damaged by aphis. Some fields have been plowed up and planted to corn and potatoes." Cold and rather dry weather has prevented the nor mal growth of 'jueadows. All of these unfavorable conditions have combined to materially reduce the prosie tive bay crop. Fruit. Outside tt the Hood River district apples appear to have bloom ed lightly and ronseo.uently have set a very light crop of rruit. Con siderable f rost damage Is reported la some sections, peaches were hard hit by the early frosts of April. Some localities report 25 per cent of a normal crop but most sections say not enough for home demands. The pear crop promises fair. In localities where both apples and pears are grown there is a much better "set" of pears than of apples. Prunes in Southern Oregon were hurt by April frosts. In the Willamette Valley the prospects are fine. Cherries were injured by the April freeze and a light crop all over the state will re sult. . The commercial crop will probably be about one half of the 191? production. , FALL KILLS LIETTKXAXT. ARCADIA, Fla., June 10. Lieu tenant Benjamin Helsland of Mariet ta..

SUBJUGATION OF x WOM OBJECT Dr. Esther Loyejoy Tells of Treatment of Captured French Girls CHICAGO. June 10. Germany, balked in its effort to conquer the manhood of France. Is attempting to subjugate the women of the republic through motherhood, while the wo men of the I'nited States, unheeding the call of their French sisters, are "loafers, going about in high-heeled shoes, wanting to b entertained by the story of the war," Dr. Esther Lovejoy declared in an address here today. Dr. Lovejoy, former health com missioner of Portland. Or. was speak ing before the Medical Women's Na tional association. Speaking of the "Esthers of France, Br. Iovejoy, who recently returned from a six month's sojourn In the war zone, declared that 2"i0, 000 girls over 16 and boys over H had been detained by the Germans In the captured French provinces. "Three rules govern the Germans In the retention or the French ci vilian population, the speaker said. "Those retained must be or stature Tor fighting, labor or breeding. "It Is np to -the women or America to stop this Hun Invasion. They will have no loafers among the men or women either. While the women of France and England are staggering along under he awful loads. imposed are loafers, olng about In high heeled shoes, wanting to be enter tained by- the story of the conflict. ."If the women of Germany had laid 1own their arms and ceased do ing the work ot the men the war wsnld have been over long ago. "If the women of America wontd wear winter clothing In winter and not sit about In clothing fit only for hot dog days, while they burn tons of coal to keep them warm wasting coal to preserve the dictates of fa shion hcatlees Mondays would b unnecessary. "The big thing In the Fnlted States Is for tho women to replace th men in useful occupations In or der that our full man power may be sent to the aid or the allies. There Is a pressing need In tho south, for Instance, for harvest hands. This is a splendid opportunity for women golfers and tennis players. .. ... "We have only to bo as good as our grandmothers, who made this great Inda for to live In." FICKERT TRACES HUN INFLUENCE Attorney Files Objection to Thomas J. Mooney's Appli cation for Pardon SAN FRANCISCO. June 10. The sinister voice or the German high command which directed the sinking of the Lusitanla whispered an order Into the ear of Thomas J.

April 1 4.--Srlon lots resulted from tha fcrcat battle In France Is the ruin rf rreat areas of land behind the old P.ritUn lines, which were nnder cultivation by the army. The British and French Fod Production e'epartmont were carry ing out on a large seal a scheme for growing of vegetables b-hind the lines for the use of tho soldiers. The last official figure of the land cultivated in this wa la the zone of the British army was r.o.OOO acres, although In recent months the figure has been much Increased. A great deal of new work had been done In the neighborhood or Peronne, and at Ham. Epehy and near Chauny. All this land had been ploughed with American tractor ploughs and a great dear of it planted with potatoes. Another work which has been lost Is lhat begun by the Quakers to suc cor the victims of the war In the territories won back from the Ger mans a year ago. The Quakers bad a large farm near Ham which was their general headquarters, from which they were sending out auto mobile tractors to plough land, were helping the returned peasants to re store their market-gardens, and were providing them with goats to replace, the cattle taken by the enemy. .
