"While the condition of Oregon
A grain croos was probablr never
jr'-better than they are this year,
tS ' the fact that bo much of the wheat
a- v - Bl"Uft BSVUSU, UniU,- IV
f the very , eserere winterkilling of
the fall seeding, will prevent the
.) harvesting of anything like a
hamper crop. Growers generally
do not expect, one year with an
other, that the yield per acre of
spring wheat will be in excees of
75 per cent of the per acre yield
of winter wheat, says F. L. Kent,
United States statistician for Ore
gon, Wheat: The Oregon winter
- wheat acreage for harvest appears
- to be about 256,000 acres, which
at this time, gives promise of a
yield of about 22 bushels per acre,
, or a total production of 5.632,000
, bushels. The spring seeded acre
age is now estimated at about
,825,000 across, with a condition
of 100 per cent, which indicates
al yield of 17 bushels per acre or
a total nroduction of about 14.-
025,000 bushels, .. The totaf wheat
j ''. crop prospect for the state, is,
i ; therefore, 19it 657,000 bushels.
The 1924 crop was estimated at
15,450,000 bushels, and the 1923
.1 crop at about 28,000,000 bushels.
f jr Oats: The Oregon oat acreage
Is estimated at 289.000 acres.
, lhich Is an increase of 7 percent
over me acreage, uonaiuon
of the crop is placed at 96 per
cent of normal, which indicates, a
total production of 'about' 8,537,
000 bushels. This is slightly above
the: - average of the' past three
years. . -
Barley: The Oregon barley
acreage Is estimated to have in
creased (50 per cent over last year.'
This is due largely to the seeding
of barley on lands where winter,
wheat froze out. The acreage Is
placed at 155,000 and the condi
tion of 100 per cent of normal inf
dicates a production of 5,270,000
bushels.
Hay: Oregon tame hay acreage
appears to be somewhat loss than
last year, due principally to winter-killing
of alfalfa, and loss of
clover tromclast summer's drouth.
Due to thin stands of clover and
alfalfa in some localities the yield,
per acre will be below normal.
Some of ihe commercial hay sec
tions figure that th commercial
crop this year will not be more
than 60 per cent of normal. In
V'the southern part of the state
r much of the alfalfa was cut dur-
ing the latter part of May, and
was considerably damaged .by the
rains occurring at that time.
.Where wheat hay is Jargely used
, the yield will be below normal,
since most of the crop will be
i from spring seeding, due to winter
1 killing of the fall seeding, and the
i yield ner acre of soring seeding
f" i?ffls normally considerably below
that from fall seeding. Wild hay
gives promise of a normal crop,
or better, due tp the abundance
of spring rain.
:. Prunes: Many of the older
prune trees, particularly those
which have not had good care in
the past, suffered from the winter.
Some' trees were killed outright,
but a much larger number show
from few to many dead limbs in
terspersed with the live ones. Cold
rains following blooming are held
partly responsible for the light
set of fruit, which in some locali
ties promises to be not more than
10 per cent of a normal crop.
The crop for the state as a whole
will probably not exceed 25 per
cent of a normal crop, which at
this time should be around 80.

Flyinq Air7 Pilots Converse
With Base Miles Away
CHICAGO. Telephone com
munication between airplane pilots
flying 4,000 feet in the air and
radio station WLS, was maintain
ed clearly over a distance of 110
miles during the military show
here, recently. When the h army
flyers descended at Chanute Field
the .reception was still strong, in
dicating that intermittent talking
might have' been continued over a
greater distance.
' The previous record for com
xnunication between a land station
and an airplane by radio was 40
miles. Spectators at the show
were listeners in during the tests,
the radio station rebroadcasting
the conversations. This wa3 an
other, feat said by. radio engineers
to have ' been successfully per
formed for. the first time.
: The army planes used a 50 watt
master-oscillator lending set. with
three 50 watt tubes, an oscillator,
modulator and speech amplifier,
in addition to a 5 watt amplifier.
The radio station used a neutro
dyne receiving set while the army
men used an army S-tube super
hetrodyne for receiving. A two
pound lead weight held down the
antenna. Within the city limits
the planes had a 50 foot wire over
the side, which was extended to a
200 foot aerial as they got farther
away.
; The officer in the front seat of
the airplane, by means of ear
phones, could bear both conversa
tions, the talking of his companion
and the conversation from the
land station. -
Very Successful Years Work Ended

- In school activities the yearns
record has been very creditable.
The football team suffered but
one defeat; in basketball we won
the state championship and sent
our team to Chicago to participate
in the national tournament; the
baseball team has won all of its
games with other high schools,
and is entitled to clajm the west
ern Oregon championship;1 jour
tennis team has also a clear record
of victories over all opponents.
We have made a beginning at gfolf,
winning our first match, and have
conducted a series of local horse
shoe' tournaments that have been
very helpful in solving the prob
lem of recreation during the noon
period. In debate' we succeeded
in winning the district champion
ship, and carried off the major
share of the honors in the. state
music tournament. Two of the
six prizes awarded to Oregon in
the nation-wide chemistry- essay
contest fell to our lot, and one of
ourtypewriting students won the
state championship In the contest
at Corvallis.
The most important step for
ward in the administration of the
school during the year has been
the extension of the work in physi
cal education, which has been
made compulsory for all boys, and
has been carried on with marked
efficiency under the direction of
Mr. Sparks. Next year we plan
to require this work of the girls
also.
' If we are to provide for the ex
pected Increase in our enrollment,
it will be necessary to obtain more
class rooms. Every available
room in the building has been oc
cupied during the past semester,
and any addition to the teaching
force will necessitate more space.
I would strongly recommend the
conversion of the old gymnasium
into about six class rooms, which
would provide for the expected
growth of at least the next two
years.- '
Agaii I wish to recommend
what iFurged last year the ap
polntmat of a dean of women to
handle the problems that specifi
cally concern the girls. I know
of no high school as large as ours
that does not have such an official.
The need of a woman of tact,
strong personality and moral con
viction is daily more manifest.
The inadequate seating capacity
of our auditorium Is also becom
ing a serious problem. We have
had over 100 pupils standing at
every assembly this year. It Is im
possible, to secure proper order
and attention undeF these (Con
gested conditions, or to give the
pupils that training in the correct
conduct of assemblies which is so
essential an element in their edu
cation. ; . ' ,
Jaoan to Build Shrines
That Fire Can't Destroy
TOKYO. The cult of Shinto is
no exception .to the modernization
wave which ; has been -sweeping
over Japan since the great earth
quake of 1923.
At a recent meeting of the Shin

was decided that those shrines
destroyed by-the earthquake fire
should be re-built of fire-proof
materials. In Toyo and-vicinity
193 Shinto shrines were destroyed.
