GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORT FOR MAY

Bright Outlook for Winter Wheat
The outstanding feature of the
May first crop report is the record
breaking condition { of the United
States winter wheat crop and the in
significant acreage abandonment re-
sulting from winter killing, soil blow
ing, pests, etc. The May first condi-
ton of zoos per cent of normal is
the highest on record and the per-
centage of abandonment, IL per cent,
is lower than any year as far back as
1900. This means. that of the 49,
261, 900 acres seeded last fall, some
48,224,00O acres remains to be har-
vested, forecasting a yield of S99,-
100000 bushels compared with the
558,449,000 bushel yield of last year:
Idaho's winter wheat came through
the winter with but 2 per cent loss,
leaving 224,380 acres for harvesting.
A condition of 100 per cent forecasts
a production of 8,7o8,300 bushels.
The crop is making satisfactory pro-
gress in all sections of the state.
Rye Production Doubled
With an area of some 5000 acres
in this state and condition of 101
per cent of normal May 1st, pro-
duction of III, 200 bushels of rye is
forecasted compared with 10000
bushel last year.
Little Hav on Hand
Besides the large amount OF hay
fed in the state, shipping has been
active from the irrigated sections to
outside points. Only 4 per cent OF
$3.50 tons of last years crop still
remains on farms, compared with
$4,000 tons on hand last year.
The acreage to be harvested fol
hay is practically the same as las
year. With a condition of SO per CEN
