Drouth Effects Reviewed
By OSC Extension Service
Rainfall so far in 1934 is the low
est ever recorded In some of the
central and north central states
and drouth has become serious for
grain crops, hay, pastures, and dairy
production, according to a review
of the agricultural situation just
released by the Oregon State col
lege extension service.
Precipitation from January 1 to
May 1 was the lowest ever recorded
by the weather bureau In the Da
kotas, Minnesota, and Illinois; sec
ond lowest ever recorded for Indi
ana, Missouri and Ohio; third low
est for Kansas; fourth lowest for
Iowa and Nebraska, and fifth low
est for Montana, says the report.
Except in the northwest hay
crops have had a poor start and the
condition on May 1 for the country
as a whole was substantially lower
than on the same date in any of
the past 50 years, according to the
circular.
Carryover of hay in Oregon is
above average, but in the dairy sec
tions of the north central states
Bigger financial
resources
for heppner
A HE facilities of branch banking sys
tem are such that we can loan money in
any community to take care of the total
crop requirements. At certain seasons
there is a need for large funds for short
term loans in Heppner to finance sheep,
stock or wheat operations. Through the
Heppner Branch office the resources of
The First National Bank of Portland
are made available for this purpose.
Any resident of this district needing
such temporary funds, is invited to
come into the Heppner Branch office
and talk over the matter with Mr. E. L.
Morton, Manager. Whether or not your
situation is such that the loan can be
made we assure you, Mr. Morton will
gladly discuss the matter with you. It
is his and our desire to make the Hepp
ner Branch office in every way a help
ful unit in the building up of this area.
One of the most important functions of
this bank is to assist in providing for
the financial needs of Heppner and the
surrounding territory. We invite you
to avail yourself of this and other ser
vices of this bank.

holdover stocks are less than half
of a year ago. The situation in sev
eral of these north central states is
acute.
Pastures are the poorest in 50
years and with practically no hay
In some sections, cows are being
maintained on straw and such feeds
as are supplied by relief agencies.
This situation has already af
fected the production of milk ad
versely, says the circular, so that
production per cow averaged near
ly 2 pounds per day less than on
the corresponding date of the last
5 years.
In commenting on the fruit situ
ation, the circular says prospects
are for fair production of fruits in
the northwest, which should find a
better outlet owing to the reduc
tion in the eastern crop and anti
cipated improvement in purchasing
power of the public.
The pea crop of Oregon may be
somewhat less than last year but
the apple crop in excess of the light
output of 1933. The Pacific Coast
dried prune crop is expected to be
less than normal. Carryover of
1933 crop prunes is also less than
normal.
