Tho bureau of crop estimates of tho United States department or ogrlculturo makes nn cstimato or tho condition of winter wheat and ryo on April 1, 1018 (also April 1, 1017 and the 10 year uverno), for tho United States and tho state of Ore gon, as follows: Wheat, United States, 1018, 78.C; 1017, 08,4; 10-year average, 83. C. Oregon, 1018, 07; 1017, 84. 10-year average, OC. Hyc, United States, 1018, 8G.8; 1917, 8C; 10-year average, 80. Ore gon, 1918, 100; 1917, 04; 10-year average, 07. Based on tho foregoing condition figures, It Is estimated that the total winter wheat crop of tho United States gavo promise on April 1, 1918, of reaching about CC0,000,000 bush els. Tho Oregon winter wheat crop should mako about 13,600,000 bushels. Final estimates on tho 1917 crop or winter wheat placed tho pro duction at 418,070,000 bushels for tho United States and 8,400,000 bushels for Oregon. In this connec tion It Is interesting to noto that tho condition of winter wheat In Kansas (tho heaviest winter wheat producing state) is estimated at 07 per cent. Tho winter rye crop of tho United States indicates a probable produc tion of about 86,000,000 bushels, as compared with a final cstimato of CO.14C.000 bushels for tho year 1917. Tho Oregon ryo crop gives promise of about 616,000 bushels, money, toilet articles and even to bacco. They aro surely doing a won' dcrful work here. I wish those at homo might know Just how great a thing it is."

On the bullotin board at tho Red Cross headquarters are always the latest bulletins from tho divisional headquarters and anyone wishing to do so may read tho latest advice pertaining to Red Cross activities In tho United States and abroad. compared with a final estimate of 356,000 bushels in 1917. Both wheat and ryo casao through tho winter In splondld shape. Whlto fall seeding was later than usual, a very mild winter with moro than thn usual amount of molstnro brought most fields out In flno condition. Thero has been vory llttlo wlntor killing and consequent rcseodlng. Molsturo conditions arc "tho beat In many years," and growth Is woll advanced. Condition of Live Mock. Mortality (deaths per 1,000 head) from both disease and eiposuro for tho year ending March 31, 1918, and condition of live stock on April 1, 1918, aro estimated as follows: Tho perccntago of brood sows on hand April 1, 1918, compared witli April 1, 1917, is estimated to bo aa follows: United States, 109 per cent.; Oregon, 99 per cent. Owing to the mlldncos of tho past wlntor, Ilvo stock losses from ex posure woro lower than for many years. Considerable stock was turned onto tho ranges this spring prior to April 1. Cattlo losses from dlseaso were mostly caused by blackleg, and to a comparatively small extent by rabies and contagious abortion. Lambing and spring calving aro giving better than usual results. Many sheep men report from 100 to 12S "per cent, of lambs," while smalt flocks aro producing a materially larger percentage. , FORMER BEND MAN DIES AT NAMPA, IDA. (From Saturday's Dally.)
