Council Bluffs, April l4,-Frank S.
Pinney. Iowa field agent Of the United
States department Of agriculture, with
headquarters here, issues the follow
ing estimates for Iowa:
Winter wheat. Last fall Iowa far
mers planted approximately 10000
acres to winter wheat. The condition
April / was above normal, being l0l
per cent, compared with so per cent
year ago. This high state of vitality
indicates possible production of 49,
525, 900 bushels, provided there is no
bandoned acreage. Wheat last fall
received sufficient moisture to promote
quick and even termination and was
followed by one OF the most favorable
winters to the plant on record. Not at
any time during the winter were tenn
peraturers so low as to produce the APP
parent drying-put process which seems
to accrue during a period of lack OF
snow cover when temperatures are
far below the zero point. The lowest
temperature recorded during the win
ter was upon the date of Jan. 8. being
about IS below zero. and at time
when the major portion Of the winter
wheat belt in the state had an excel
lent snow cover. The condition Of the
winter wheat crop in the United
States on April l was 99.S per cent.
compared with 7s.s per cent year
ago.
Rye: The condition of rye in Iowa
April /. 1919. was 9s per cent, COM
pared with 80 per cent a year ago An
unusual element in the condition OF
rye in Iowa seems to exist in the fact
that rye is reported as of a lower con-
dition April 1 than that Of winter
wheat in spite of the fact that rye IS
considered the harder of the two
plants. Approximately $500 acres
were sown to rye last fall. but a good
portion of this was sowu for late pas
lures and early spring pactures and
therefore will not be utilized for grain.
The condition of rye in the United
States on April / was 9o.6 per cent,

Land Tillsd in Winter.

Des Moines. April 1.-THE winter of
19lS-19 was the mildest OF the TWEEN
ty-nine winters since the Iowa wealth
err and crop service was organized and
averaged 81 degrees warmer than the

in October and November saturated
the soil and tho January was deficient
in precipitation. the soil continued
more than usually moist TIL the last
ten days Of March when II dried rapid
". At no time was the ground deeply
frozen. Flowing was done at intervals
in each of the winter months. More
than the usual amount OF blowing was
done last fall. Seeding was about half
finished in the southern tier Of coun-
ties by the close Of March and begin
ming in the central counties. The mild.
moist winter was exceptionally favor
able for winter wheat. rye. grasses.

killing is reported. Peach buds were
abnormally advanced by the warm
weather Of January and will be nearly

The past week was warm. averaging
about FIVE degrees warmer than nor

the north on the first to so in the south
on the sixth. Showers were abundant
and sunshine was slightly deficient.
Field work progressed rapidly except
in the northeast where the soil is too
wet In most sections spring wheat
seeding is completed or nearing com :
pletion and the acreage will probably
not quite equal that of last year. oats
seeding is advancing rapidly. Plow
ing for corn is beginning. All vegeta-

BreedinG sows: The estimate OF
breeding sows In Iowa on April was
% per cent compared with q year ago,
The extreme drouth Of last year In
the southern and southwestern por-
lions Of the state was factor In
bringing about this decrease. The In
huenza last fall at breeding time and
the high price OF feed also contributed
to this decrease. The number OF
sows In the United States has In
creased slightly, the per cent being
1908 compared with year ago. II II
the opinion OF the field agent that the
agricultural development In the south
ern states accounts for the increase
In the United States more than any
other factor.
Farm labor supply and demands;
The farm labor supply In Iowa, April

pared with 75 per cent year ago. The
farm labor demand was lol per cent
