DRY WEATHER
| CUTS DOWN CROPS
Continued Drought Has Topped
Several Million Bushels Off
Wheat Yield.

Winter and spring wheat crops in
Washington suffered a loss of 1925
900 bushels from the June 1st outlook
due to continued drought in the wheat
districts, according to the July report
of julius H. jacobson, of the Federal
Bureau of Crop Estimates in Washing
ton. The promise July LIST was for a
total crop of 50,252 700 bushels from
2, 573, 900 acres, compared with 26, 429,-
900 bushels from 2,191 900 acres in
1918. In eastern counties there has
been little rain for the past two
months, but cool weather and a good
supply of soil moisture have brought
the, crops along:
The July 1st condition of winter
wheat was "a per cent of normal, a
drop of Is points from June LIST and a
23,676,000 bushel production was in
Dictated. Except for some six counties
the condition is equal to or better than
| last year.
SprirIy wheat lost heavily from lack
of rainfall, especially the late seeded
and that on spring blowing. It's con-
[dition was SO per cent Of normal last
month but only 70 per cent July 1st.
A probable yield of 16 bushels per acre
is indicated which means production
of 26, SIG 900 bushels.
July 1st the condition of all hay was
SO per cent normal, compared with "a
per cent year ago and the ten year
average of so per cent.
A production of 1,554,O00 tons was
possible July 1st.
A decrease of 10 per cent in the
potato acreage is reported. Much
of this is in the Yakima district
where the crop was sacrificed for
sugar beets. This years acreage is
$500 and compares with the 10 year
average of $500 acres. The condi-
ton is SO per cent of normal compar-
ed with "a per cent year ago.
The United States acreage has de-
creased per cent from last year and
a production of 391, 00O,O 900 bushels
Il is indicated compared with 400, 000,-
900 bushels harvested year ago.
i A later report will be issued show
4 ing acreage by counties and condition
4 in other states, with special reference
to the commercial crop.
An increase acreage of S per cent
is reported on corn, meaning 45,l5O
acres for the state. This crop is being
favored more each year as reflected
/ in the steady increase in acreage.

DRYING FRUIT

Drying is the safest and cheapest
way of saving food, says Glen King, of
the extension service department of
the Washington State College. which
in the approaching season of canning
and drying will give increased attenyT
ton to this method of food preserva-
ton.
Mr.. Kings circular of Information
on drying recently sent to the county
agents of Washington, who constantly
asked about drying, summarizes the
following facts:
"Poisoning and fiat souring' arc
eliminated by drying. All solid meat
cd fruits, green peas, corn, spinach,
asparagus and rhubarb are especially
nice when properly dried. If sliced
a sixtr to quarter Of an inch and
spread in single layers, drying will be
accomplished in four to eight hours,
and the fresh flavor and color almost
perfectly preserved.
"Some fruits are improved by dipp-
ing in a hot, thin syrup before drying.
Vegetables may be dipped in hot water
but this is not necessary. Keep the
products clean.
When drying is done over stove
care should be taken not to scorch the
products, especially vegetables. The
drying is generally done when mois-
ture cannot be squeezed from a fresh
" cut portion, with the fingers. Vege-
tables should be little dryer than
fruits. Store dried products in cans,
pals, or paper boxes for protection
from mice, insects and dampncss.
ga good dryer to be used over any
kind Of stove can be made from an
apple box and three pieces of galvan-
lied screening for the trays and one
piece over the top to protect from IN
sects and dirt. A sun dryer can be
quickly made from any shallow box
with small undiscovered by screen
or netting to keep out insects-in
each end to let the moisture escape,
and glass cover to hold the heat and
to protect from dust and insects.

Call, and which, according to evidence
in hand, is applicable to large part
of the so-called elbow" area of the
central dry part of the state, begins
by giving summerfallow tillage suf-
ficiently early in the spring to enable
the soil to dry out cloddy.
All subsequent tillage is given in
ways which preserves this Goodness
of the surface, an essential of the pro-
cess being not to use any implement
that tends to pulverize the soil, and,
also, to do the cultivating at right
angles to the prevailing direction OF
