negotiations of treaties In public is
Impractical; that ' statements made
In open discussion of treaties might

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. ,

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

"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

"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

correspondent upon his return from a

"Had It not been for the work cf

would have starved. General Scrlves
said. "The Italian have given thes
people food, employment, education
and security. Wheat, corn and lie

and activity He has the highest re

"Brigandage has virtually disap

The Albanians are great admirers
of America. added General Bcriven,
"although only rntly have they
begun to emigrate there. 4
In this connection. Gen. Striven
quoted one of the leading Albanian
a man who has been to America, as
saying to him:
. "The Invasion of Albania by the
rowing atrocities on unarmed popu

farmers being slaughtered, town'
and villages destroyed, farms burned.
Hocks devastated and stolen, and
hundreds of thousands of refugee

Concluding. General Scrlven said:
-The Occupation of Albania by
Italian troops has proved the salva

the revival of the Albanian nation.
