IDAHO RANKS
| FIRST IN WHEAT
md Hugs Utah Close for Bar
ley Record, With Six Times
the Acreage of Latter State
Ties for Potato Record.

A supplement of the Crop Re-
porter, published at Washington,
ID. c., for December, by the Sec
retary of agriculture, shows that
IDAHO exceeded all states in 1911
Ia the average production of
wheat per acre; was second in
fhe production per acre of bar
ley, tied with Maine in the pro-
uction of potatoes per acre, and
Is fourth in the production of
oats per acre.
The Reporter gives the Idaho
average wheat production per
acre as 30.7 bushels. the total
ncreage being ST. 900 acres, as
against 472,0 for 1910. The
average barley yield for the state
IL AZ bushels to the acre, the
total acreage for 1911 being 49,
900, as against 1856, 900 for 1910.
Idaho's potato acreage is given
las %, 900 acres, as against $4,000
Tor 1910, with an average of 180
b1shels per acre. The average
production of oats per acre is Al
bushels and the total acreage is
given as 331, 900 acres for 1911,
while the 1910 acreage was 319,-
900 acres. ...
The state excelling Idaho in
barley production is Utah. with
an average yield of 43 bushels as
compared to AZ for Idaho, but
Utah had only "a, 900 acres, while
Idaho's average is on 142, ZOO
acres.
The total value of the four
props in Idaho is given as $685.
862, 900, this being determined
upon the basis of the prices pre-
vailing on December l, 1911. At
that time Idaho wheat was rated
At 66 cents, while the bulk of the
lrop in this section has been sold
at prices ranging from 3 to 9
cents above that price; while the
present quotations range from &c
cents for Red Russian to 70 cents
tor the better varieties. The
barley values are based upon a
70 cents per bushel basis, while
he prices paid in this section
we're much in advance of this
figure.
The report as d whole gives
IDAHO very creditable showing
md in view of the fact that the
:entral Idaho ict-Lewis,
Nez Perce, Latah, Clearwater
md Idaho counties-is the section
rom which the largest produc-
Ion of wheat, barley, oats and
)otatoes is secured, the govern
lent statistics are particularly
zaluable to this section. The sta
'istics show in fact that this dis
net, considering other varied
oroducts not entering into the
Dove computations. is the rich
sst in the world.

was exceedingly slender.
With difficult and delicate work the
wound was cleaned and the torn parts
brought together The wounded lady
is now asleep under the influence of
opiates. If she lives for forty eight
hours she has a chance TO recover The
wound is one that no surgeon would
