WEATHER CHANGES CROPPROSPECTS Weather conditions during recent weeks have improved the prospects for some crops, while others are less promising, says a crop and market report issued by the Oregon State college extension service. More winter wheat and corn, but less spring wheat, oats, barley and hay are expected. Pastures and ranges are reported in very poor condition over the country generally. This is having an effect on dairy production and the condition of livestock. With a short hay crop in prospect and per h'aps no more than an average sup ply of feed grains, dairy production may not be as large as would other wise result from the three percent increase in milk cows in the coun try. Figures gathered indicate that about eight per cent more pigs may be raised this year, the largest in crease in prospect being in fall pigs although there was an increase in spring pigs. The western states, es pecially the coast states, show the greatest prospective increase in percentage, but in actual numbers the corn states are expected to in crease the most. "About an average output of late potatoes now seems in prospect," says the report "The total crop is expected to be 15 per cent larger than last year, and somewhat above average, but the increase over the average is accounted for by early potatoes already marketed. "World production of "wheat promises to be materially below the large output last year and the world carryover outside of this country is not particularly burdensome. However, the new wheat crop in this country is expected to be as large 'as last year and well above the average, while stocks of old wheat are unusually large. Market quotations received at the college showed that the top cash quotations for clover seed at Chicago have advanced three cents a pound since June 1, "which may be a reflection of the reduced acre age of clover meadows in the main seed producing states."
