REMARKABLE STATISTICS.

A. F. Hit, Of Weiser, special sta
tistical agent for the United States
department Of agriculture was a
visitor in this section the first of the
week.
Mr.. Hit gives some quite remark
able statistics regarding the crops of
last year; figures which were avail
able to all, but which have perhaps
been overlooked by many readers.
The report on spring wheat for Min
nesota, considered the greatest spring
wheat state in the Union, and for
Idaho, was the same-85 per cent Of
normal crop. But while Minneso-
ta's IS per cent yielded 1913 bush
els per acre, Idaho's corresponding
short crop was 25.5 bushels, or prac-
tically double the Minnesota yield.
Washington, the same year, was
ahead of Minnesota, with an average
Of Is bushels per acre; and Oregon
was yet better, with 1875 bushels.
But Idaho was so per cent ahead of
the best Of the others. In winter
wheat the same conditions prevailed,
though the per centage was soewhat
less notmiceable, Idaho having 80
bushels, Oregon 1872 bushels, and
Washington 24.2 bushels per acre
difference of only rs per cent in
favor of Idaho over the strongest of
it's competitors.
Mr.. Hit, who was foyrears at the
head of the state horticultural de-
partment, is a practical farmer, and
farmer for quarter of century at
Weiser. He gives some interesting
statistics regarding corn in Idaho. In
all his experience, he never failed but
once to raise as much as 40 bushels
of corn to the acre, and that time it
was because he did not follow his So
Der judgment as to the best variety
to plant. He has raised up to Is
bushels to the acre. The Idaho corn
weighs out an unusual percentage of
shelled grain to the bushel, Mr.. Hits
corn showing about Is per cent less
cob that the standard corn of the
East. The flint corns are the best
for Idaho, Mr.. Hit finds, though
some Of the dent varieties are being
developed by careful selection until
they are reasonably safe for this cool
night country. 1t may be recalled
that corn grown near Boise, carried
off some of the highest prizes at the
National Corn Show at Omaha, last
December. Idaho has not been con-
sidered typical corn state, but Mr..
Hit believes that some day it will
'aise more corn than most Idahoans
aver saw or dreamed of.

Hales & Crane, the contractors on
the Idaho Irrigation project, expect
to have all their construction work
done before the coming of snow next
fall; at least by the last Of October.
~ This will include the 100000 es-
timated cubic yards of excavation on
the Dietrich tract; the almost equal
amount on the North Gooding tract,
the extra work on the upper Rich
field and Dietrich canal, where the
old banks are being raised and
strengthened; and the completion OF
the South Gooding bitches for water
this spring.
Work was begun this week on the

gest job OF them all. There will be
considerable rock work. especially
near the upper end Of the tract. But
the contractors will get the largest
force possible at work all along the
line, and they promise to complete
the job months ahead of time. Water
would not be needed until next spring
but the contractors say they can fin
ish up the last shovel-ful of dirt be-
fore October is past--six months
ahead of time.
While some OF the water for the
Gooding tract will be taken through
Cottonwood Slough, west Of Richfield
about miles. most of it will be put

through the main canal, east of Rich
field. This will fill the Little Wood
river much fuller than it is now, and
will give more water for power pur-
poses in that stream. The Dietrich
ditch will leave the Little Wood not
far from town.
Messrs. Hales & Crane are taking
on all the sub contractors who are
ready to work. They have been for
tunate in finding number of good
sized outfits ready to begin at once,
and are setting them to work. No
one who wants work need be without
a job, whether he has one little team
or hundred of them and a train
load of machinery.
