t-" Tt 022X501? STATESMAN, Eolen. Orejon. Wednesday Momlag. September 8. 1841 PAGE EGHT State Seed Report Told Yields in Most Cases Poorer Than Was Expected Earlier In Oregon, main produoing-state for many seeds, luxuriant vine growth was not favorable lor a heavy setting of seed- The. damp, - cool weather in May and - June, .which stimulated further growth of vines, resulted in lodging, rot ting, and a poor fill of pods. This was followed by the heat wave of July 13-19. Weather for harvesting , was much less favorable in mi than in 1940, causing much shat tering particularly of hairy vetch and common ryegrass, the depart - merit of agriculture marketing service " reports. . Production of Austrian Winter Deas in the United States is es timated at about 35,300,000 pounds this year, compared with 53,700,' 000 pounds in 1940. Of these to i tals, Oregon contributes about 30,000,000 pounds of clean seed from 48,000 acres this year, com pared with 48,000,000 pounds from 89,000 acres in 1940. The stage was all set, with m 40 per cent Increase in the acre age, for a greatly Increased production of hairy -vetch seed In Oregon. Bat the weather was unfavorable for the proper de velopment of seed, insects did much damage, and seed shat- . tered more than usual, with the result that yields averaged only 112 pounds the lowest in years or more and 74 pounds less than were obtained; last year. Production in Oregon, Washing ton and Michigan totals about. 26, 897,000 pounds,, compared with 24,950,000 pounds in 1940. Oregon accounts for 25,000,000 pounds this year, compared with 24,OO0r- 000 last year; Washington for about 1,512,000 and 500,000 pounds, respectively; and Mich- lean for about 385,000 and 450,- r'r I'-. rw hi vPflri rlarwltll8 000 com- una year is piaceaaii io.uuu, com- parea witn ,uuu in iu Acre- , 4 4 AAA I - S J SV A I ue rat wasmngron ana Micmgan r total about 7,300 acres, compared with4,500 last year. , - PWKiuction of common vetch in , UiBH.u i,uv,uuu vruuus I year, compared with .15,300,000 pounds last year.

It is estimated ' that 16,000 acres were harvested ' thia year, compared, with 14150 - last year. Yields of this vetch were less affected by unfavorable condi tions this year than were , the other vetches. Yields are ex pected to average about . 450 pounds, compared with 508 last i year. :r. - The increased arreace of nnr. . 7T .., . , pie veicn m egon onset wie ae- creased acreage in California, but smaller yie is in each state have brought a duction in but, a- 23 per cent re- e cron. It i i'stima.tpr! that 4,400,000 pounds were pro- " r duced this year and 5,100,000 pouijds in 1940. California accounts for 3,300, 000 pounds this year and 400, 000 pounds last year, while Ore gon contributes 1,100,000 and 1,- 500,000 pounds, respectively. Yields , on the 15,000 acres har - vested in each of the years aver- aged for the two states 293 pound? this year and 380 last year. ' i Oresons yield of 275 Dounas this year was very much below the 4-year . (1936-39) average of oow pounas. Heavy rains in cal- llornia during the late winter and the spring months; hot only re- suited in sharp deductions in acre- age Dut aiso-, cut down yields con- siderably. A production of 2,700,000 pounds of Hungarian vetch in Oregon this year compared with : S,50,000 pounds n 1949, is re .' ported. Acreage is placed at . ,000 this year and 7,000 In 1940, with yields averaging 459 and - S21 pounds, respectively. Production of ffpmmon ryegrass seed in Oregon from the 65,000 acres harvested," . is estimated at 18,850,000 pounds,1 compared with 23,400,000 mi ? the " same arreaw last year. In addition it is expected there will be cleaned from com- ' . . naniAn rrn nrmnt . 3 lail IHH1 pounds this" year, compared with ainnnnn last vwr. hrimnnff th totals for this seed to approximate- ly 22,000,000 pounds this - year, compared with 27,500,000 pounds In 1940 : . The decline, in yield from 360 pounds per acre last year to 290 pounds this year is attributed chiefly to the fact that the crop this year ripened all at once and harvesting could not be completed before much of the seed had shat tered., Production of perennial or English ryegrass in Oregon this year is placed r at 2400,009 pounds, compared with 1,720, C00 last year and 726,759 pounds . the 4-year average. The Increase Is attributed chiefly to an acre. age S3 per cent larger than that f last year, as yields of 184 pounds this year and 1S1 pounds in 1949 are nearly the same.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 -(JF- It was mainly a mirket for aircraft stocks Tuesday although a num ber of . amusements and indus trial specialties managed to give a good account of themselves. - The list started out a bit hesi tantly as boardrooms attempted to sum up trend influences after the lengthy Labor day recess. Gains then began to come into most departments and, at the best, . ran to -more than a point for favorites. Top marks were reduced in the majority of cases at the close and a sprinkling of minus signs was in evidence. Activity broadened in the forenoon and dwindled after mid-day. At that, the turnover of 520,630 shares was the larg est since August S and compar ed with 351,680 last Friday. The" Associated Press average of 60 stocks retained a net advance of .1 of a point at 43.8. In the day's business budget, which was mostly unexciting, this week's steel mill operations were estimated off a shade due largely to lack of steel scrap. US Steel and Bethlehem were up only each. Posting new 1941 highs were Consolidated Aircraft, Lockheed, Boeing, Pan American Airways, Twentieth Century-Fox and Par amount Pictures. Modest improvement was shown by Chrysler, J. I. Case, American Smelting, Great Northern, South' ern Railway, Glehn Martin, Sper ry, Standard Oil (NJ), Interna tional Nickel, Allied Chemical and Du Pont. A trifle in arrears were US Rubber, Goodrich, General Elec tric, Anaconda, Kennecott, Santa Fe, NY Central, Western Union, Consolidated .Edison, Eastman Ko dak and Woolworth. lTadpole w- ABLETS' IKl A CONCLUDING CHAPTER AMD A HTTIN I FINMSH "TO THIS -STUPEN DOUS -SEA "SAGA.

Many hop growers have arranged for pickup service at other designated spots .as well. Five hundred acres of hops were reported down in the Inde pendence area as a result of the heavy rains and' calls have been coming in to the employment ser vice office for day laborers to help raise the fallen beans.
