Crop Believed Cut Almost Half by
Drouth and HaL
Portland. Or. The wheat crop of
the Pacific northwest 1 passing
through a critical period. The pro
longed dry spell baa caused much loss
and hot winds in the inland empire
are increasing' the damage.
Portland grain men, who are keep
ing in daily touch with the situation
in the interior, fear that the northwest
will not have more than half a crop
this year.
It is the early spring-sown -grain
that is being hurt in the dry sections
of Washington, but in the dry sec
tions of Oregon the late spring sown
wheat is suffering most. Winter
wheat is generally in good condition,
but the winter-sown acreage is not
heavy.
Rains throughout the wheat belt
this week would, of course, be of ben
efit, but tbe greater part of the dam
age already done cannot be repaired.
