Idaho Crop Report, July 10.

The outstanding features Of the

porting Service indicate fer the
state a prospective wheat crop Of
over four million bushels more
than grown last year; larger
crops than in 1919 Of corn, oats,
barley and rye; potato crop close
to a million bushels above last
years, and a prospective hay
crop Of over half a million tons
more than in 1919. In addition,
there is a sugar beet acreage of
$4,000, double that harvested in
1919; the largest prune crop ever
raised and a bumper apple crop
that shows improvement each
month.
According to Julius H. Jacob
son, Agricultural Statistician for
Idaho, crop prospects for the
state as a whole are better than
during the past three years.
There have been timely rains fol-
lowed by excellent growing wea-
