L. Kent, agricultural sta tistician, United States department of agriculture. Condition of the Ore gon winter wheat crop is estimated at 9 7 per cent of normal, which is higher than in any other important winter wheat stalte.

Condition of the winter wheat crop improved slightly in the state dur ing the month of May. Good grow ing weather, for grain, prevailed during the month, although a little more sunshine would have been bet ter. A good rain fell over much of the eastern Oregon wheat country on June 1, and came at a very oppor tune time on the lighter soils. Much of the acreage is fully headed and in some districts the crop is said to be a week or ten days earlier than us ual. It is predicted that the crop will be ready for cutting before July 1, in the earlier field3. Reports indicate the acreage seed ed this spring in Oregon was about 9 5 per cent of that of a year ago. A fine fall for seeding over a large part of the state allowed for heavier than average fall seeding, and it is reported in some districts that there has been ". decided trend toward the planting oil more barley and oats and less wheat. The Oregon spring wheat acreage is now estimated at 237,000 acres with a condition of 95 per cent thus indicating a probable crop of 4,005,000 bushels.
