STITE'STOP
FIELD IRK
PORTLAND, Aur. 31 While un
usual rains, heavy In places, helped
late crops the past week thoy greatly
Interfered with seasonal work and
caused damage to hay and grain
ready for harvest, according to week
ly aumiuary of weather and crop con
dition Issued by Weather Bureau.
Rains also retarded cutting and
stacking of second crop of alfalfa In
eastern districts snd caused damage
to hay In Union, Wallowa and Baker
counties.
Barley was only a fair crop In
most fields. Tho threshing , of oats
continued to show poor yields. The
previously unusually dry season
largely reduced the yields ot spring
wheat. ThreBhlng of winter wheat
waa greatly retarded by the rains In
northeastern - counties, where grain
Is becoming very ripe, and there ts
fear It will shell badly if not soon cut.
Prune 'picking and. drying will be
gin next week In Douglas and Linn
countlea which is about two weeks
earlier than usual, Many, but not all
orcharda Indicate a heavy yield, late
potatoes made good growth and in
some localities will make a fine crop,
but early plantings show only fair to
poor ytelda, ''
