East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-09-19

The continued fair weather of the
month of August was very favorable
for harvest work in Oregon says f.
l. Kent, Field Agent of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates.
Grain Is all cut except in some of the
higher attitudes, and mostly thresh-
ed. Berries were practically all har-
vested without rain, but the yield was
considerably reduced on account of
dry weather. Tree fruits, especially
peaches, are rather undersized as a
result of insufficient moisture.
Winter wheat.--The 1919 growing
kseason has been one of gradually
diminishing crop prospects over the
entire United States. The eastern and
southern states have had an excess
of rainfall while in the central and
western states there has been a shor-
tage which has been very marked in
the Rock Mountain and Pacific North
west states. Winter wheat went thru
the season in fairly good shape al
though the general forecast of May 1
of Sse,a15.00o bushels has been re-
duced to 715,000,0 600 bushels, a cut
of approximately 20 per cent. In

acreage of former years. but most of
the acreage will be used for ensilage.
Some will be 'hogged off" and some
husked for winted feed. Very little
of the crop viii find its way into the
market,
Potatoes.-Potatoes everywhere
have met with adverse weather condi-
tions and the total United States is
now estimated at $4,000. 900 bushels
as compared with the estimate of
S57,0OO,00O bushels made on August
first. and the five years average IF
S66, 100000 bushels. The Oregon crop
Is estimated at a.600,000 bushels
Apples.-The total United States
apple crop is estimated at $4,000, 00a
bushels OF which G9.000,0O0 bushels
is classed as commercial. This com-
pares with a total crop last year of
10000, 900 bushels of which 1l,o00.-
90 bushels were commercial. Western
apple production is greater than last
year. but is considerably less In the
eastern states. Quality of the we tern
commercial crop appears to be c2n-
sderably better than last year.
Live Stock.-The early September
rains have been of great benefit to
cattle and sheep on tn range as veil
as on the farm. The precipitation
has been fairly heavy and normal,
there should be considerable growth
of grass in the next few weeks. This
new grass will prolong the grazing
season. greatly improve conditions
for the return of stock from the sum-
mer ranges, and reduce the hay re-
quirements for the coming feeding
season.

States as a whole. The condition
figure for September is placed at
ass per cent for the United States.
indicating n total production of 20S,-
600, 600 bushels as compared with the
preliminary estimate OF S4s.000. 900
bushels. Condition of the crop in
Oregon is estimated TO be 81 per cent
of normal, indicating total produce
tion for the esate of about 2,750, 900
bushels.
Oats-This crop has been subject-
ed to about the same weather condi-
tions as spring wheat. In Oregon the
condition estimate is considerably
higher for oats than for spring wheat
since oats are mostly grown in the
western part of the state, where early
sunNmer moisture conditions were
better than in the principal spring
wheat sections of the state. The Uni
ted states crop is now estimated at
1925, 10000 bushels. and the Oregon
at $3.50. 600 bushels.
Barley.-Barley, being for the most
Fart a spring sown crop, shows a low
condition in common with other
spring grains. The United States crop
is estimated at $4,000. 900 bushels as
compared with the preliminary esti-
mate of 232.00O,000 bushels. The
oregon barley crop is estimated at A.
500. 600 bushels.
Corn.-Rains in the principal corn
producing states during August were
of much benefit to the corn crop
which showed some improvement over
August first conditions. The United
States estimated total crop is now
placed at 2.S5S, 100000 bushels. In

bate. June 1 of 1s7.sse.Oo0 bushels
was cut to 144,s07,00o bushels at time
of harvest, being cut OF more than
25 per cent. Regarding the situation
in Kansas. Field Agent Paxton says in
part: almost every acre OF the unus-
ually large fall seeding came through
the winter in flourishing condition.
Rank foliage and straw, coupled with
continued rainfall during May and
June, induced and offered inviting
domicile to every ,fugus disV->s TO
which wheat is heir. BY the middle
of June the wheat fields were a blaze
of color from leaf rust. and smut was
common. At the last moment before
harvest black stem rust, scab and
blight became apparent. July fifth
ushered in n hot wave that prema-
turely ripened hundreds of thousands
of acres with accompanying shrivel-
ing of the grain" Similar conditions
to a more or less extent, prevailed in
other heavy producing winter wheat
states.
Spring Wheat-Very unfavorable
conditions have prevailed in the prin-
cipal spring wheat producing states.
The crop had a fine start the condition
