These lecture are instructive and entertaining to young and old.; AT - j Eagle-Woodmen, Hall I Admission, 25c per cent and spring moisture condi tions have been very satisfactory ovei the greater part of the wheat produc ing area of the state. Tho 1920 Ore gon winter wheat crop was finally es timated at 17,S0,000 bushels, produc ed on 7 SI. 000 acres. For the United Slates as a whole the abandonment of wheat acreage sown in the fail of 1920, waa much less than usual, being estimated nt 4. per cent as compared with 11.8 per cent last year and a ten year average of about 11 per cent. Owing to the low abandonment figure the total win ter wheat crop of the United States !a now estimated at about 8.000,000 bush els more than the April l estimate: jthat is, 629,287,000 bushels. Ilay There appears to be a slight decrease in the total hay acreage of the state as compared with a year ago but condition of the hay fields and meadows on May 1, ,931. wa estimat ed at 99 per cent of norma:, compared with 93 per cent a year ago. Consid erable new acreage waa seeded to al-1 fulfa last year but a considerable area of old fields have been plowed up and seeded to other crops which will later be resown to alfalfa. The high prices prevailing for hay during recent years prior to this year) have caused grow ers to hold on to run down alfalfa fields longer than would ordinarily be considered good farming practice. Present hay crop conditions indicates a state production of about 2,025,000 tons of tame hay and 240,000 tons of wild hay. The per cent of last year's hay crop remaining on farms on May 1, 1921, is estimated at 12. per cent. compared with 5.0 per cent in 1929, with 5 per cent in 1919, and 8 per cent in 1918. Spring riowing and Seeding The acreage finished is considerably De- low the usual in the western part of the state. In most counties of the eastern part of the state, this work is at about the usual stage. Ordinarily It is possible to do considerable plow ing in the western portion of the stnte during the months of January and February. This season there was practically no early spring plowing done before the latter part of March. This condition has thrown practically all of the spring work forward, with the result that the normal amount has not been accomplished at this date. In the eastern portion of the state, the conditions have been very favorable for spring plowing and seeding, except in the counties of tYiion and Wallowa where the work has been delayed by more than the usual amount of rain fall.

Fruit Considerable difference of opinion exists with reference to the condition of the fruit crop of the state. It Is known that there was consider able damage to early fruits such as peaches and apricots, from freezing. In some sections, while other sections suffered no Injury. Just what effect the containued rainy weather of the latter part of April and early May has had on pollenizution is yet to be de termined. In some parts of the state apples aYe just now in full bloom and the amount of fruit that will set Is yet to be determined. Advices from our Washington, D .C. office state that "the territory in which fruit has been severely damag ed by freezes has Increased in size and now embraces portions of the central belt of the United States as far west as the Rocky mountains. The severe frost of April 24 and 25 probably caused almost a complete failure of cherries, apricots and peaches in the southern counties of Idaho and dam aged peaches considerably In Utah. The berry crop throughout the coun try has apparently escaped "serious in Jury." Condition of Live Stock The early rains of last fall revived pastures and ranges and thus started stock off in good shape. Sheep oelng returned from the forest reserves and other summer range to the winter feeding grounds, arrived in much better phy sical condition than usual. The open winter has made It possible for both sheep and cattle to get more or less winter pasture forage and the 'absence of any considerable disease outbreak has kept the animals in good health. Wool is reported as being of better quality than usual with heavier fleec es. The lamb and calf crop are re ported as being above the average Condition, on the whole, was probably never better at this season of the year, the average condition figure as report ed by correspondents being 99 per cent of normal.- Mortality of Live Stock Special in quiry was made relative to losses from disease and exposure during the year ending April 30. 1921. The results of this Inquiry indicate losses per 10CO head as follows: Horses, from dis ease, 11; cattle of all nges, from dis ease, 12. from exposure. 8; sheep, from disease, 30, from exposure, 12; lambs, from both disease and exposure, 60; swine, from disease, 7. The results do not vary greatly from similar figures for the United States as a whole, ex cept In the case of swine, the U. S. growing I figure being 44.2 compared with 7 for Oregon. . The reported losses . from both disease and exposure are consid erably lower than In recent former years, particularly the losses from ex posure. The only report received of any considerable stock loss in the state is the following from Malheur county: "All kinds of livestock has wintered In excellent condition and are in normal condition of health with exception of sheep. Big head (sometimes called swellhead) developed In sheep about March 1st and there will probably. He a 10 per cent loss, which will also re duce the percentage of spring lambs." ing a further decrease of almost 450, 000 tons, was In line with expectations.

May 11. (A. P.) I Sentiment in the financial district yes- j terday was Increasingly bearish and this feeling found free expression In i the stock market, where most of the i shares were subjected to renewed sell- ! ing pressure. . i I Tobaccos, food and utility groups were extensively sold to the accom paniment of reports hinting at new financing, which In turn was expected to involve dividend reductions or nmis. sinns. Rails, which rose almost buoyantly in yesterday's final hour, cancelled much of their gains when rumors cir culated that no immediate settlement of wages and freight rates was prob able. . Almost the only stock of which bears were cautious was Mexican I'e troleum, which made an extreme ad vance of 31-4 points in the last hour, when the balance of the list made fur ther concessions to the rise of call money from 61-2 to 7 per cent.
