(ff) ; The na tion's 1938 grain harvest of more than four and a half million bushels, one of the largest on record was es timated today to have a market value of almost $2,500,000,000. Analysts based this estimate on the forecasts of the six Chicago crop ex perts viiose August summaries Indl cated total production of wheat. corn, oets and rye In the United States would amount to approximate ly 4.583.000,000 bushels. With the exception of last year's production of these major grains, which totaled 4,715,000,000 bushels and had & market value of slightly more than 3. 000. 000. 000. the 1938 harvest will be the greatest since 1032. The valuation at market was based on Chicago prices for grain deliver able In the fall and winter. The corn crop to be harvested this fall was estimated to have a market value of $1,343,000,000 compared with (1,555,000,000 last year. The wheat crop, now more than half reaped, was valued at $645,840,000 compared wtti.i $935,172,000 last year. Oats were val ued at $254,000,000 and rye at $24,- 880,000. The market valuation of the major grains was about $500,000,000 less than the year ago figure, which was the highest alnce 1929, and about $200,000,000 below valuation of the 1936 crop. With these two exceptions, however, It la the best In six years. Lower prices compared wltu the last two years accounted for the differ ence, traders aold. Current grain prices are near the lowest levels In four or five years. Wheat and rye crops this year are expected to be larger than last year but corn end oats production win be lower, according to current estimates, TOP SPRING OATS E OUTLET AS SEEDS CORVALLI3 (Spl) Western Ore gon farmers who have succeeded In harvesting good spring grain this year despite the exceptionally dry weather may have a profitable outlet for It for seed next year, predicts D. D. Hill, associate agronomist at the Ore gon experiment station. At the aame time, eastern Oregon growers of Irri gated Hannchen barley may be able to sell their crops for malting pur poses, If they have been properly harvested. Dr. Hill Is urging western Oregon growers to save oats especially for seed as there la likely to be a short age next spring. "The spring seeded cereals are practically a failure on many farms.' says Dr. Hill. "On others there will be some crop but the yield will be low and the quality of the seed rather poor. This la particularly true of Spring oats. Growers who are for tunate enough to have good fields of spring oats will do well to harvest as much of it for seed as possible as good seed of spring oats Is likely to be very scarce by seeding time next year." Dr. Hill also pointed out that the shortage In the spring crop will make It possible for growers of winter oats to dispose of most of their surpluses for milling purposes. Only the Infer ior, light test weight oats need go into feed channels this summer, he believes. As to the malting barley situation. Dr. Hill points out that for the past few years growers of Hannchen barley have been able to dispose of substan tial stocks for malting purposes. This year, however, there Is likely to be very little good quality Hannechen barley for malting purposes produced In western Oregon Growers in the Irrigated regions of eastern Oregon and other parts of the state probably will be able to supply considerable amounts of malting quality barley. Barley threaahed either for seed o? for malting may need to be handled at reduced cylinder speeds, Dr. Hill adds, In order to prevent cracking the akin of the kernels. i r I K V 11 r V , , Jl f ' Ay it "ft tsnjs$s&3vS?4 Tire of unexplained origin destroyed a 7S.00 home In an exrltmlTe Porllnnd district Hednesdny and killed Kuswll H.
