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. In the opinion of crop experts. --Try -iriiii, ,L:" I.
