IDAHO LEADS
ALL THE STATES
GREATEST YIELD PER ACRE OF
ANY STATE IN UNION IN
GRASSES AND GRAINS.
Carefully Compiled Statement Given
Out BY the Secretary of Agriculture
At Washington, d. c., on Net
Yield For the Year of 1909.

BLACKFOOT, July 10.-The fol-
lowing facts for folks fond of fig
ares, showing that Idaho leads them
all, have been compiled by G. w
Edwin, assistant superintendent of
the Idaho state insane asylum. The
Information and statistics are taken
from the records of the secretary Of
agriculture at Washington. D. c.. and
are reliable in every detail. To those
who consider Idaho not an agricul-
.tural state, the information contained
will be a revelation:
Figures that cannot be questioned
place Idaho ahead of all other states
IN the average yield per acre, on all
the. leading products, for term of
10 years. ending with 1909
1t will no doubt be surprise to
ali and will probably be disputed by
many when the statement is made
that Idaho's average yield per acre
FOR the past 10 years on corn, wheat,
oats. rye, barley, potatoes and hay
IS greater than that Of any other
state in the Union, but when this
statement is backed up by the re-
ports of the secretary of agriculture
at Washington, D. c.. it cannot be
challenged
Idaho has produced an average
.o.afa - oo~~, 49, on-o fo~ tho r,oot
10 years of 2s.5 bushels, as against
an average product in the United
States for the same period of 25.S
bushels per acre. Idaho's average
yield of corn per acre is only ex-
ceeded by the following states: Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin
and California.
AVERAGE WHEAT YIELD.
Edaho's average yield for the past
10 years on wheat has been 1913
bushels per acre, as against an
average yield in the United States
OF 14.1 for the same period. The
average yield per acre of wheat in
Idaho is only exceeded by four other
states, viz: Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado and Utah. In 1909, Idaho
produced 14,465,O bushels of
wheat. which was a greater crop than
was produced in any of the following
states: California, Nevada, Utah.
Arizona, New Mexico. Colorado,
wyoming. Montana, Arkansas, Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Alabama, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Florida. Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia.
West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware.
New Jersey. New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Yer
mont. New Hampshire and Maine
l6aho's wheat crop for the year 1909
was 265,OOO bushels greater than the
combined product of the following
states: Maine, New Hampshire Yer
mont. Massachusetts,. Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Nevada, New Mexico Wyom-
ing. Arkansas, Alabama, Wisconsin,
Delaware and New Jersey.
Idahos yield of oats for the term
covered by this report is ALI, as
against an average yield in the
United States of 1915 per acre. In
1909 Idaho's crop of oats was greater
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1910-07-14

greater by 10000 tons than the
combined crop of the following
states: Conn, Del. S. c., Ca, Fla.
n. d., Ala, Miss, La and Ark The
average yield per acre of hay in Iha-
no is exceeded only by the state Of
Utah.
Tt must also be remembered that
a great deal of the land recently
brought into cultivation in Idaho is
cultivated under what is known as
the dry farming system Not more
than one-third Of the acreage farmed
in the state Of Idaho is under irriga-
tion 1t would not be- at all surpris-
ing if under the conditions above
named that the statistics would have
shown a decreased yield In spite
of the fact that the acreage Of agri-
cultural products in Idaho has in
creased during the decade covered
by this report more than 800 per
cent, the statistics show a steady in
crease in the yield per acre on each
of the leading products. viz: Corn.
wheat, oats. rye, barley, potatoes and
hay.
