The normal August precipitation at Portland is about .6 of an inch. The August 20th rain was followed by a few days of above normal temperatures which caused premature ripening of prunes and certain varieties of apples with a resulting heavy drop, particularly of prunes. Wheat. The Oregon Spring wheat crop is now estimated at 1,993,000 bushels. This amount added to the unchanged Winter wheat estimate of August 1st, of 17,600,000 bushels, makes the Ore gon total 1926 wheat production esti mate equal to 19,593,000 bushels, which is 407,000 bushels less than the total estimate for August 1, 1926. Last year's total wheat estimate was 18,900,000 bushels. While spring wheat yields as high as 45 bushels per acre were reported from some of the small irrigated fields, other yields as low as 4 bushels per acre were reported from the cen tral portion of the state, with whole county averages as low as 8 bushels. The September 1 estimate for 'he U. S. spring wheat crop is 212,llW,CO0 bushels, which compares with 270, 875,000 bushels last year, and a five year average of 253,000,000 bushels. The 1926 winter crop is still estimat ed at 626,482,000 bushels, making a total wheat estimate for 1926 equal to 838,591,000 bushels. This com- rarea with a total of 669,000,000 bu. last year, and a five year average of 802,378,000 bushels. In connection with the spring wheat estimates it is interesting to note that four private crop reporting agencies have estimated the crop at 203,000, 000 bu., 214,000,000 bu., 218,000,000 bu. und 224,000,000 bushels respectively, the average of the four estimates be ing 214,750,000 bushels or 1.2 per cent higher than the Government estimate. Washington spring wheat is esti n ated at 19,771,000 bushels, and the Idaho crop at 12,993,000. Adding the preliminary winter wheat estimates of 20,700,000 bu., and 9,798,000 bu., re spectively, the Washington total is 40,471,000 bushels, and the Idaho to tal, 22,791,000 bu., making a Pacific Northwest total of 82,855,000 bushels, compared with 57,132,000 bu. last year, and a five-year average of 84,362,000 bushels. Foreign Crop Prospects. Wheat production of 21 foreign countries for the northern hemisphere which have reported to date, totals 1,508,767,000 bushels, compared with I 1,568,479,000 bushels in the same countries last year. Adding the Uni ted States the forecasts and estimates reported to date for the 22 countries totals 2,347,358,000 bushels, compared with 2,335,000,000 bushels in 1925, when these 22 countries accounted for 79 per cent of the total Northern Hemisphere crop, excluding Russia r.nd China, and about 70 per cent of the world crop excluding China and Kussia. A Canadian press dispatch estimates the wheat crop of the "three prairie provinces" at 375,679,000 bushels, compared with an estimate of 382, 959,000 in the same territory last year." FOR SEPTEMBER With the exception of prunes, Ore gon's principal growing crops were benefitted to a greater or less extent by th unusual precipitation of the latter part of August, says F. L. Kent, Statistician, U. S. Department of Ag riculure. A state wide rain about August 0th, ranging from 1.13 Inch down .77 inch recorded at the Portland u- .1 tlaa,i nfflrfl was of mUCh I, benefit to growing crops, but caused considerable damans to me pru". cron. indirectly.
