ALLIED! TO
LONDON, Anjr. in. 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. We
Ifave made these facts plain in many
tclegrums and you hoc the result. "

FOR OREGON" SHOW
DIMINISHED YIELDS
Keports received and field obser
vations mude by K. L. Kent, field
agent t". 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. In anticipation of a hay short
age, range stock is already being
moved to market, and considerable

numbers will be moved to alfalfa hay
producing sections for wintering.
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.
