PORTLAND, July 16-(iP)-Four Oregon crops wheat, prunes, pears and cherries should carry off the productive banners of the state if the July I crop estimates of the US department of agricul ture are not upset. The annual mid-year survey of the state's crops released today by the department showed that most crops, suffering either from the sudden dryness of June or pests or a combination of both would approximate the 1937 yields or the 1927-36 average. uats, barley, corp. Hops ap peared to be the principal suffer ers showing the greatest drop from the 193 7 figures. Wheat Gets Breaks The spring wheat crop, although off from 1937 but ahead of the 1927-36 average, was more than bolstered by a strong winter wbeat crop, which approached the average and was up about 60 per cent from a year ago. ? The favorable condition of the winter wheat crop resulted from the fact that east of the Cascades the weather delivered the farmer a real break by pouring down rain almost at the exact time it was needed. . West of the Cascades this lack of rain .was causing very poor" spring-seeded crops and yields in all of this class were considerably below average. ' . Although the June dryness af- ieciea some zruu crops, the ma jority were not harmed because of the large amount of moisture in the soil to offset the surface drought. Listed Is Tabulated By crops, the department's sur vey showed: Winter Wbeat Indicated production 11.755.000; 1937 8,580.000; 1927-36 average 14,924.000 bushels.

THE STOLEN GOD By Edison Marshall SYNOPSIS Ned Holden, returning to Bang kok, Siam, from a dangerous mis ton into the Annamite country, seems a typical American tourist. Son of a Yankee mother and an American missionary, Ned had been reared by native nurses and had spoken the native languages before his own. Officially an eth nologist, actually he is a secret service man for the King of Siam. Holden meets an American girl, Virginia Griffin, just arrived in Bangkok with her father, noted art collector, and Andre Chambon, a young French vicomte who is Grif fin s secretary and Virginia s nance. Soon thereafter -Holden is told of the .heft of the famous Emerald Buddha from the royal temple. It must be restored to' its shrine be fore the Siamese winter festival. Griffin is under suspicion. . Holden, under protest, consents to Investigate and, next day, searches the Grifhn rooms at the hotel. Virginia returns unexpectedly and , rinds him there. He must allow the girl he already loves to believe him a common thief. Virginia lets him go and mentions the incident to no one. Next morning, the Griffin party leaves for the interior of French Indo-China. with the an cient city of Laos as their goal. On recommendation of the French governor a supposed Laotian head man named T'Fan has been hired as interpreter. The latter is Holden in disguise. That night an arrow is shot into the camp from the forest; a warning from the Kha tribesmen that the Griffin party should turn back. Next morning Holden watches the coolie Pu-Bow whom he has lecogmzea as a aotian baron in disguise. He also distrusts old Nokka who had been hired as maid for Virginia. Chambon tells Vir ginia of a wondrous bronze jar he hopes to secure for her father's collection. Angered by Chambon's fanatical interest in oriental cus toms, Virginia repulses his ad vances. CHAPTER XI In two hours the caravan crossed the Laotian frontier. At once there was color and life and charm. The villages nestled in lovely river val leys quaint, stut-built houses, a bedecked Chinese store, a moss gTown rice mill, and always a deco rated pagoda with its stone Buddha to bless the little fields. . True, those fields were besieged by jungle, waging guerilla warfare day and night. Often the sambur and the wild pig raided the scanty crops, and sometimes an old "rogue ele phant stripped the banana gardens and trampled down the trees.. But the villagers laughed the days away without thought ox tomorrow. Still they sang over the rice wine as in the days of Chow See Veet, told tales in the joss-house, made love in the uniignt, ana gathered sowers as offerings to their unheeding gods. At one village the travelers found an open-air native market in full blast, It was the most colorful scene in Virginia's experience yellow-robed priests with shaven heads; flute-players, jugglers, and devil-dancers : all but naked Khaa lingering shyly at the outskirts of the throng, as though ready to dart away to their jungle lairs; Meuw horse-traders from somewhere back of beyond, tall, slant-eyed men each in a blue robe adorned with a red ash, and coils of silver wire about his neck. On display in the stalls were all the luxuries of the country: stone Jars of rice wine, boxes of opium, Burma cheroots; sticky sweets and rice cakes; screened boxes of big beetles, an especial delicacy to the Laotian palate; wild honey; new killed jungle fowl and venison ; a ruby-colored jelly which Virginia thought at first was congealed fruit juice until she learned, with some thing of a shock, to the contrary. There was jade from China, little gods in ivory, embroidered shawls and heavy silk sarongs, almost everything imaginable from flawed rubies out of Burma to alarm clocks from Connecticut. - It was an old story to Ned. but ever new; and he could remember few things more pleasant than ahowing it all to Virginia. How her eyes danced when he interpreted the talk of the stalls, and how delighted she was when he bandied jests that made the crowd roar and the young Laotian maidens hide their faces. But Chambon was in his glory too, talking French to the mandarins, and waving his arms and laughing. He bought several pieces of needle work, a copper lamp that had lighted a joss-house when the Caesars reigned in Rome, and a lit tle figure in jade with onyx eyes and a-face of incredible evil. A little while later Chambon hastily stopped the car. Through a rift in the trees his auick eve had They drove on, seeking more ad venture and it came to meet them in the road. As they swept around a bend, a new-fallen tree barred their way. The drivers pulled up; instantly four little men, naked except for loin cloths and armed with small bows and poisoned arrows, sprang up from the shadows of the jungle. They were Khas from the hills. At once their spokesman stepped lorward and salaamed. "I would speak to the great lords," ne said in the gobbling, deep-throat ed Kha tongue. Chambon turned quickly to Ned.

Ned heard Pa-Bow demand , . i in the Kha tongue. seen a ruined roof-tree. He led the way through stubborn vines to forsaken pagoda, now all but de voured by the jungle. It was a large temple, and the stones at the door had been worn smooth by naked feet, but tha only life in it now was the snaky creep ers growing in the windows an rents in the walls, and winding and twining about its zauen columns. One battered wooden Buddha,, four feet high and partially covered with gold leaf stood fn the corner; among the rubbish 'Chambon found the broken arm of what was once life-size Buddha in stone. Catching his excitement. Virsinia looked in the broken crypt and soon found the head and shoulders of the same image, and tore off the jungle creepers that held the piece last. ' .. . 'That was a good Buddha, once.1 Chambon said. "And what an in teresting cross-ribbed doublet, the like I have never seen. And that face is exquisite, with its wonderful sweet smile, j There, Pere Griffin, is real Laotian religious art." But further search revealed only a hand and a few undecipherable fragments of the torso. - What would happen if we'd take that bust along? Griffin asked. For he too was impressed by the Bud dha's enigmatic smile. . "Nothing at alL You could have the crack around it repaired, make a base for it, and have something handsome. Look, Pere Griffin 1 If you take that, will you let me take the wooden Buddha in the corner?" I don't want it in my collection. ."But X want it in mine. The face is sinister, "with a mocking expres sion rarely seen in a Buddha." "Go ahead . . And here's a new silver coin in the dust. Ill take this along, too." ) A mw silver coin! Ned made no comment, but his dark eyes lighted 0P ,'"- . TFin, do you know that lan guage?" Ned usually chose his course on the basis of logic and a fair share of good American horse-sense, but ; now he acted on sheer inspiration. "No, Tuan. I am a Laotian, not a 1 Kha." "Then call rjP Pu-Bow, that bear er I hired. If he speaks Kha, he can find out what the little beggars want and let us know in French." Pu-Bow came up from the baggage-lorry, salaamed to Chambon,' and looked down at the black men in utter scorn. "What do ye want, ye forest pigs?" Ned heard him demand in the Kha tongue. Nay, we be free men ; the French have declared us so. We have come down from our villages to meet He-Who-Has-Come, and speak a warn ing." " "Take warning yourselves, that ye dare obstruct his road." The little man quivered, but went on gamely. "We tell him to go back, now, before too late. What is gone, is gone. The French have broucht a word greater than the word writ ten on the stone. The iron rings are melted in the fire. We be small men, tilling the rockv hillside where even the wild gourd cannot Una root, but there Is venom on our arrows and the will of our gods in our bow arms. If he comes, his own head wfll faU." Ned's heart leaped un. but Pn- Bow only spat in the dust. "Ye are not forest pigs, full of cunning, but foolish monkeys, chattering in the jungle," he scorned. "He-Who-Has- Come is under the protection of tbe French, and if ye touch one hair of his head, your village will be wiped clean from its hillside I" And he beckoned up the drivers to drag the obstructing tree aside.
