WHEAT CROP IS NOT 50
LARGE AS EXPECTED
Harvest Reports Show Losses Due
to Hot Wave In Wheat Belt
Cool Weather of Past Week
in Malheur County Aids
Crop Locally

The cool weather of the last
portion Of last week and the
first of this week proved a
blessing to Malheur county
wheat ranchers.. Cool nights
helped the heading and tho
grain shows heads to the full
length and there will be but
slight loss due to shrivelling,
SO ranchers report.
The following complete re-
port on the wheat situation not
only so far as crop conditions
are concerned, but also rel
ative to the world supply and
demand is taken from the SER
vice of The Producer, the or
gan of the Grain Growers as
ISOLATION, and is presented for
the information of Argus read
ers. These reports will be pre-
sented each week. The Pro-
ducer says:
There is little doubt now that
the governments July wheat produc
tion forecast will show a material
reduction from the June report
Private estimates run as much as
81 million below the June figure OF
609 million bushels for winter
wheat. A severe heat wave lasting
for two to three weeks was respOn-
sible for most of the trouble
Threshing returns of the southern
states have been disappointing, re-
vealing the full extent of the dam
age, not only of the recent heat
wave. but of previous unfavorable
conditions.
winter wheat and rye harvest
in Illinois is largely completely in
the southern counties, and is now
becoming. general over central por-
tions. Due to the adverse effects
of the mid-June heat wave during
the filling stage, and to some ex-
tent to rust and insect impairment,
reports indicate spotted condition
and less favorable prospects for
June 1.
winter wheat in Nebraska suf-
fered severely both In yield and in
quality as a result of the recent
heat and dry weather. Many fields
with straw for 80 bushels will yield
about 10 bushels Of shriveled wheat.
There is practically no contracting
of new wheat by farmers.
"The Missouri state board Of ag-
riculture estimates that the hot
weather reduced the total yield for
the state million bushels, making
the present forecast 36 million bus
hels. Extensive shriveling of the
berry resulted from the recent heat
wave in Kansas. The extent OF the
damage has not been determined.
Harvesting is general in the south
tern and middle counties.
In the Pacific northwest hot.
dry spell of three to four weeks
duration in some places has been
severely cutting the wheat pros
poets. Forecasts of yields are be-
ing everywhere reduced. and in
many places rains are needed soon
to save the crops.
Spring wheat is doing well In
leading producing states. although
rust damage has been reported from
the Red River valley OF North Da-
kota. one of the largest producing
districts OF the state.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1922-07-13
Foreign Conditions


Continued reports of poor pro.
gress of cereal crops in France are
coming in. A prominent French
agricultural paper estimates that
this years wheat production will
be ~ million bushels below last
years yield. In Germany crops are
now more favorable, but much be-
low the average. The government
is said to be purchasing supplies of
wheat and rye in anticipation of
short crops. In Hungary and Jugo-
Slayia cereal crops have deteriorat-
ed due to lack of rain. The Rou-
manian wheat crop is maintaining
its high average, but under the best
Of conditions between now and har-
vest it is not expected that the yield
will permit exports during the COM
ing year of wheat or rye. Barley
and corn will be available for ex-
port.
"In northern Tunis crops were re-
duced by drought to one-third nor
NAL; in the south they were COM
pletely destroyed.
More general rains have fallen
In India and prospects for. the seed
ing of new wheat are now more
favorable.
"In the drouth areas of New
South Wales the recently seeded
wheat is dead and re-plowing will
be necessary. Other sections of the
country are favorable but need laore
rain.
Movement and Consumption of
Wheat
Wheat and flour on ocean pas
sage are 46.7 million bushels COM
pared with 69.4 millions for the
corresponding week last year. Last
weeks world shipments were 11.2,
an increase of about million over
the previous week. Argentine again
shipped heavily, but Australia put
less than million bushels on YES
sells, which is the lowest figure
since January. This country has
less than 10 million bushels left
for exports while Argentina has
about 15 million bushels, If the
government estimate on production
is correct.
"Visible stocks of the leading
United States markets were placed
at 22 million bushels last Monday.
Large primary receipts have kept
the visible supply at a higher fig
ure than expected. Stocks at in
terror points are now being cleaned
up and it is expected that the July
report on farm reserves
will be unusually low.
Prices
Future prices gained several
cents during the week, but showed
little change from the previous
weeks close. Close markets. how
ever, are showing decided improve
ment in all parts of the country,
with permiums &c to &c better than
last week. Opening prices to farm
ers on the new crops have been dis
low and the movement
Of new wheat from Texas and Okla
homa has been unusually small.
