State Grain Crop Below Estimates Lower wheat yields than an ticipated in dryland areas of eastern Oregon is the major con tributing factor to the decline of the wheat production fore cast, according to the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. A large portion of the sum mer-fallow wheat area has been plagued by drouth conditions the entire growing season, coup led with high temperatures dur ing the period of grain develop ment. Harvest of a good to ex cellent wheat crop in the Wil lamette Valley is in prospect. The Oregon wheat crop is now forecast at 33.0 million bushels down 1.8 million bushels from the July 1 estimate. The barley crop was also affected by the lack of moisture. The Oregon crop is forecast at 11.3 million bushels, down 600,000 bushels from last month. ADDle and pear crops develop ed normally during July, with ize and quality expected to be good to excellent. Temperatures ind moisture aided rapid ae- elopment of Oregon's filbert and walnut crops. Size and duality appear to be good. Scattered blight damage has been reported in walnut orchards.
