Idaho's winter wheat crop has
survived the winter In better con-
dition than 1t has for the past FIVE
years according to the report Of julius
II. Jacobson, field agent in Idaho for
the federal bureau of crop estimates.
The condition Is 90 per cent normal
compared with 81 per cent last year
and the ten year average OF 96 per
cent. The past winter has been
exceptionally favorable in all sectious
OF the state. From Washington
county north TO Idaho county, Latah
county aud beyond, they have had
abundance OF moisture and the soil
is we'll soaked. Over 10 Camas, Ban
mock and Bear Lake counties the
wheat was still covered with snow
The first OF the month, but prospects
were good. There is decreased
winter wheat acreage 10 the upper
Snake river counties, all in good con
dition however.

Victory Loan Special.

Boise, Idaho, April l5-Tbe Idah,
Victory Loan special train is now
circling the state. 1t will visit all
principal points 10 southern Idaho
and then 90 to north Idaho by Butte.
The train carries speakers and singers
and also wonderful exhibit OF war
relics. Perhaps there is not any.
where In the world, with the possible
exception of Paris, a more general
selection OF souvenirs of the great
conflict than is carried on this train.
The object OF the visit OF those on
the Victory loan train Is to assist the
local bond committees to stimulate
interest 10 the Forthcoming drive.
With the war over, macy people
probably do not understand the
reason for an additional bond issue.
This will all be explained by speakers
on the train and will be followed up
by local men.
1t is necessary to impress the public
with the thought that the war bill
must be paid and that the people at
home must finish the job as the
American soldiers flashed it cover
there".

Y PLANS OUTLINED
Educational Campaign For
County Work.

''The state Y. M. c. A. OF Idaho
and Oregon are now organizing their
work so that they can cooperate with
| every town in the state" said e. NJ.
Runyan. Jr., district secretary, who
was 10 Rathdrnm Tuesday. on bis
| tour of the state. THE county form
of 7. M. G. A. work that will make
this possible has been carried on 10
eastern states for 25 years. The
movement is now being started 10
the northwest. 1t is receiving the
support and cooperation of all
persons who want to make their
community better place to live In
and help their boys make good" said
Mr.. Runyau.
He gives the following for publIca.
tion, stating that County Y. work
is and does ten things:
i. 1t is the plan OF the Young
Mems Christian Association to meet
the needs OF young men and boys n
country communities, ia towns,
villages, and country places too
small TO support local building or
an employed secretary.
2 1t is, dS a rule, a uon-equip-
ment work, that is, 1t needs no rooms,
buildings, or equipment not already
provided by the public and private
institutions of the community, max.
ing use Of schools, homes, churches
and halls for its meetings.
3. 1t is movement rather than
an institution, and as such recog-
nizes the more fundamental offices uf
the home, school and church In
training the youth, but finds a field
by working with and through these
institutions, and by supp!ementinV
them with its specialized methods
and programs.
4. 1t regards rural county as the
unit of organization. and enliSts a
committee OF citizens to direct its
work. This county committee EN-.
ploys county secretary for his full
time to execute full program of
work. The money for this is raised
in the county by volunteer gifts.
S. 1t develops local organizations
OF the Y. M, c. A. in many centers
of the county and organizes the men
and boys into groups for efficient
work in the community.
6. 1t arranges programs OF service
and holds meetings OF these groups,
at which the religious, social, educa-
tional and physical needs OF the boys,
men, and the community are studied
and remedies provided.
7. 1t enlists local volunteer lead
ers for carrying on these activities,
discovering new leadership for com.
munity service, growth, and coopera-
tion 10 country towns. It's purpose
is to help young men to help them.
selves into the largest life of service.
8. 1t seeks 10 every way to develop
the real fact of cooperation among
people aud institutions for the largest
effectiveness
0. 1t approaches its task from the
standpoint of the religious needs OF
the Young men and boys of the COM
munity, through taking into its pro-
gram every phase of public endeavor.
10. 1t believes that the resident
forces of any community are It's
redemptiye forces, and does not
attempt to do their work, but rather
seeks to discover, inform, enlist and
encourage these local forces 10 the
working out OF their own problems.
