The forces the allies purpose sending to help the Czech-Slovaks in Siberia are pitiful ly inadequate and an attempt lo ae fouiplih the tak with them would only be courting disaster, Mays the Daily Mail's correspondent at Vlad ivostok, telegraphing on Tuesday. ' Dr. Girliea, the head of the Czech Slovak organizations in Vladivostok, is reported to have'snid: "Our numbers are iieinj depleted by constant ti'hting and sickness, while we are waiting for reinforce ments, and every. day's delay to the advantage of the other side. "Pur force in Vadivostok is with out artillery, cavalry, airplanes, gren ades or proper clothing:, while the enemy has all these. The longer the allies delay the more we, dwindle.

S. bureau of crop estimates, for Oregon, during the mouth of July indicate af'gcneral crop situation on August 11, If 18, about as follows; Weather conditions A light frost, which did some damage on tho lower levels occurred during tiie tirst week in the month in the central Willom ette valley sflflion. This cool period was followed by the highest tempera tures of the season, about the mid dle of the month. Certain portions of the eastern part of the state were visited by hot winds on the 17th and lBlh. Owing to tow velocity not much damage was done. Rainfall was pretty general all over the state during the week ending July 27th. While there was a fairly heavy precipitation in places the rainfall was generally too light to be oj; very material benefit. . Rather henvy showers fell in most of the forest areas, hence the numerous forest fires in progress were practically all extinguished and the atmosphere gen erally cleared of smoke. In the Willamette valley threshing of fall wheat was delayed about one week as a result of the rains. The no'riheai-tom portion of the state also net with sime delay in threshing on account of rain. In the central por tion of the state the rainfall was the heaviest since early spring, in fact Libout all that has fallen since Febru a rv. Winter Wheat Cutting completed except in some sections where "combine'' machines aro used. Threshing started in many localities on July 22, but show ers caused a lay off until Monday, July 20, at which time most machines resumed operations throughout west ern Oregon. In the eastern Oregon wheat belt quite a number of "ornit hines" were in operation prior to July l.'dh. On the lighter wheat belt lands yields of 12 to 15 bushels per acre have been quite generally obtained. On the heavier lauds in Umatilla county, yields up to and X bush els per acre have been of quite fre quent occurrence. In Western Ore gon, per acre yields, so far as ob tained, bavo been rather disappoint ing, ranging for the most part, from 12 to 20 bushels per acre. Quality, however, appeals to be fair, the weight per measured bushel, running one to one and one-half pounds heav ier than last year. Spring Crops Spring sown wheal, oats and bar ley show n lower condition than that of n mouth ago. All of these crops will produce a very light yield per acre. Considerable barley already harvested is found to he very. Htfbt in weight, as well as short in volume. It appears likely tha the barley per acre production will not average more than ."0 per cent of normal. Spring wheat appears to be in somewhat bet ter condition than barley but oats are apparently rather worse off than ba rlev. Hay Demand very brisk, and prices of fered, unusually high for present time of year. In western Qrogon $'M) per ton has reeenti" been offered for cer tain kinds of hay for shipment out side of the state! $2." to $27.."0 has been quite freely offered for bailed clover in western Oregon. Consider able first cutting of alfalfa has been sold at 20 to $22 f. o. b. shinning point. to $1(1 has been paid for alfalfa in the stack. A short crop of wild buy in the south central part of the state was further reduced by grasdioppor rav ages.

Mlwelloneons Crops Potatoes The heaviest potato pro 'duciti counties had the heaviest July rainfall. Karly plantings were not materially benetitled, but the later j plantings already simw a uemico j provement. Additional rain in the near future seems probable. Apple? Crop generally H'it ex cept in the Hood river district, where production will probably be about the same ns last year. A little larger size is exnected to make, up for a somewhat thinner set in the Hood river district. Dears Somewhat improved bv re cent rains, but crop will he below normal. Car lots already moving from the Rogue river district. prunesJuly rains were of mate rial I enelit to the prune crop. I'riu.e districts appeared to get decidedly more rain than nearby grain sections. Some fear expressed as to capacity of dryers being sufficient to handle entire crop. A few car loads of fresh prunes will probably he shipped from western Oregon this season. FREE. BIG COW BOOK. .
