PAOF FIVE ALL FIELD CROPS L Fruit Crops Except Cher ries, Pears Below Par Largest Wheat Crop Since '28 Seen in Survey PORTLAND, Sept. 6. (jp) Oregon tntf Washington grain field crop pro duction will be above the 1028-32 average but all major Xrutt crops ex cept cherrtea and pears will fall be low par In the final estimate, C. J. 4 Borum of the bureau of agricultural economic! reported today In his Sep tember review. The estimated 69,703,000 bushels of wheat, the largest crop since 1928, represents a 9 percent gain over aver age. The oats crop 18.974,000 bush els Is one-fourth greater than the average but 6 percent less than last season. Corn production Is estimated at 3.494.000 bushels. 17 percent more than the previous crop and 11 per cent above average. The bureau estimated the potato harvest at 16.590.000 bushels, more than three million above the average and compared with 15.320.000 last season. Hay wilt be slightly less than a year ago but 6 percent greater than average. Although the hop crop esti mate Is 33,520,000 pounds, compared with the average of 20.661,000, labor shortage and unfavorable weather will cut the final figures. Although applea are 5 percent up since 1936, the figures are 13 percent under the average. Peaches dropped 42 percent since a year ago and 13 percent under the average. The esti mated 29.000 tons of fresh prunes are 100 tons under 1936 or 300 tons be low average. Canning prunes of 30, 800 compare with 28,900 last year and 11.020 for the five-year average.

Meteorological Report CORVA1XI8. Ore. (Spl.) " 'Saw the surface and you save all,' a paint company slogan, oertalnly applies to soils. "When an owner allows his top soil to wash away he has literally sold his farm down the river. "The practice of close pasturing of sod orchards may be fine for the live stock, but It doesn't help to fill the packing shed." These are a few of the pungent observations Included in a new ex tension bulletin entitled. "Orchard Covers," which discusses the why and how of maintaining said fertility In Oregon orchards through the use of cover or green manure crops. The bulletin Is a Joint production of O. T. McWhorter, E. R. Jackson and Arthur King, O. 6. C. extension spe cialists In horticulture, farm crops. and soil conservation, respectively. Fertility Bank Account "The fertility of the soli under neath the tree may be regarded as the owner's bank account," the au thors point out. "Every time a crop of fruit is taken off, a check Is drawn on that account. When a cover crop Is turned down, or manures added, a deposit Is made. In many orchards the checks are more numerous than the deposits. Nature spent some mil lions of years In building up the fer tility account. Twenty years of poor management will bankrupt It." The bulletin tells why orchards re quire a steady return of organic mat ter if they are to remain profitable. and then lists many different kinds of crops which are suitable under the varying soil and climatic condi tions where orchards ere grown In Oregon. The double purpose of a cover crop In adding fertility and protecting the soil against erosion Is emphasized. Use of fertilizers with coyer crops Is advised In many cases. Sod orchards are experimental only for non -Irrigated conditions, but permanent cover crop in Irrigated or chards Is now strongly endorsed by many of the most successful growers, say the specialists.
