PORTLAND, July 1s.--Aside from
the other grain crops the production
OF wheat alone in the three Pacific
northwest states today indicates a
total value of sos, 900, 600 compared
with an estimated value of $T5,OO0,-
600 of. the 1916 crop in the same
sections.
Many more millions of dollars will
be added to the grand total value of
the northwest cereal crop by oats
and barley which promise to show
unusual values.
While the general cereal crops of
the three states will be somewhat be-
low that of the bumper production of
1916. still oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington growers are promised far
greater sum for their years labor
than ever before known In fact this
much is already assured.
The total wheat crop of the three
northwest states was greatly curtail-
ed by the protracted dry weather.
June and July of his year are the
dryest known to the interior for
many years. despite the long extend
ed cold and rainy spell in the sprins
Crops suffered rather severely for
this reason. Had the bulk of the
planting of wheat been done in the
fall and winter months. the 1917
crop situation would have been ma
terially anged-production reach
ing record figures.
Rainfall could Have saved Much.
Oregon. idaho and Washington
are essentially fall wheat growing
sections At least fall planting gem
orally produces a far greater aver
age per acre than the spring wheat;
this being due entirely to the fact
that the interior which grows most OF
the grain usually runs shy OF mois-
ture. II the crop is extremely late
as shown during the present season,
there is much danger OF the spring

MOVE STARTED
TO PAVE ROAD

To have the portion of the State
Hospital road lying within the city
limits paved so as to insure the paw
inS of the remainder of the road by
the state is the object of q move
now on here. The matter was
brought before the council last ev-
ening by Leon Cohen and this morn
ing a Commercial Club managers
meeting was held for the PURPOSE OF
giving assistance to the council in
working ont the problem. \ joint
committee from the council and
Commercial club will take the mat
ter up with the property owners af-
fected this afternoon.
The hospital road is three tenths
of a mile long within the city con-
zines and the cost of paving that dis
tance will he $4,000 It is understood
the property owners are willing to
bear part of the expense but feel
il would he confiscatory to fasten all
the expense upon them.
1t is said that if the road to the
hospital can be surfaced there will
be a good chance of extending the
road to Rieth during the year.

SEA AND AIR
OFFENSIVE IS
VITAL TO WIN
Naval Authorities Declare Amer
iCa and Allies Must Make
Tremendous Effort to Check
Diver Menace.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Ameri-
ca and her allies must make aStre-
mendous sea and air offensive
against Germany if they would check
the submarine menace, naval au-
thorities warned.
The president is urged TO consider
the plan. Authorities predicted the
Germans will win if only the essen.
defensive anti-submarine work is
continued.
Millions of tons of shipping are
lost monthly. while only a third Of
that amount is built to replace il.
Decreased totals of ships sunk
don't mean improvement necessarily.
The recent low total number of ships
sunk showed an actual increase in
tonnage destroyed above the pre-
vious weeks.
The thing blocking such move
chiefly is the United States necessar-
lily must follow England, inasmuch
as the offensive would have Ia De
cooperative. The American navy is
too small to work alone.
Practically all the younger navy
officers and many older ones oppose
merely defensive work They say
the offensive is a gamble with good
chances for allied success. and that
defensive warfare is only putting off
temporarily the German control OF
the seas.

WHEAT CROP IN THREE PACIFIC

planting being severely damaged by
hot winds and protracted drouth. 1t
was the spring wheat that is bearing
the brunt of the hot weather attack
this season more so than usual be-
cause the dry spell was not only long
grain just as it was really in need of
added precipitation in order to show
good growth.
A rainfall during the last week
would have added at least 10000
000 to the value of the wheat crop
iE oregon, Idaho and Washington
and the coarse grains in some sec
tions would also have been directly
benefited.
While Washington and Idaho nor
mally plant considerable sprins
wheat and those states therefore sur
fered less in proportion than did
most of it's grain during the fall

months, AT least the best results
are secured from such planting.

In the Columbia river counties the
damage by hot weather was great.
