had been very bad, were put out, and
pastures much revived. 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

GUARD YOUR VALUABLE ARTICLES HERE
you can have SURE protection.
"Safety First" has long been a slogan that
we all follow in mos things. But in one respect many of
are often too careless. Wo do not take sufficient care of our
valuables.
Day by day we read of robberies of thous
ands of dollars in paper and jewelry. There is only one way
to combat this evil. And that is by the Safe Deposit Box in
the vaults of a strong bank.
If you keep your valuables in your own home
even in a supposedly secure wall safe, you are liable to heavy
losses. We cannot recommend too strongly that you investi
gate our Safe Depoit Vaults. You will find them positively
safe from burglar, fire and water. This service is exceptionally
convenient and the cost is remarkably low.
Now is the time to act before you suffer a
loss. Le tus show you the way to "Safety First" for your val
uables. It is a practical plan that many men and women have
adopted. You will find that it fits in naturally with your ideas
of safey and protection.
