CHICAGO, Aug. 5. (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.
