advises that the expense be appor-
toned to the various clubs or local
titles Of Bingham county farm bureau
to raise their share of the money at
any time that the farmers can raise
1t themselves, without calling upon
the business houses to pay any Of it.
Planning to Consolidate
The board decided to send three
delegates to the Utah meeting of
beetgrowers and to select delegates
from the men who actually represent
the beetgrowers of this county. 1t
is expected that within a short time
the beetgrowers association will be
so amalgamated with the farm bur-
eau work that all those activities can
be handled thru the one organiza-
ton.
Consolidating Newspapers
Editor Trego was present and
asked for permission to make few
statements to the board. He ex-
planned that publishers in Blackfoot
were considering the matter and the
details of consolidating their publica-
tons into one news paper, a morning
daily and that in the study of that
matter they had not been able to con-
suit with the representatives of the
Farm Bureau News, a publication
that also cuts some figure in the
county and absorbs some of the ad-
vertising of the county. He said that
If the publishers consolidated each
of the three would be under agree
ment and obligation not to do any
thing to cripple the new organization
by starting any other advertising
medium that would take away any Of
the patronage needed to make the
central newspaper success.
The Farm Bureau News was a sep
arate publication, not under the con-
troll of the publishers, rather under
the control Of the board Of the farm
bureau and he wanted to ask them
to consider the matter Of discontinue
ing the publication Of The Farm Bur-
eau News and accepting the free use
of the new morning daily, or what
ever press service the other publish
ers concluded to furnish. He said
that the public press, in whatever
form it was conducted would serve
the farm bureau to convey their
messages to the public and to the
farmers and give them prompt SER
vice, daily service if they started
the daryl and a good service in any
event if they did not start the daily,
and in that way the bureau would
have prompt service in getting its
messages conveyed to the public. In
behalf of the press he solicited their
friendly consideration and encour-
agement of the bigger and better
newspaper service at Blackfoot.

fields have thin stands, which were
left last spring because of favorable
contracts with factories. Prospects
are very good, however. Recent
rains and good growing weather will
add big tonnage.
Seed Peas
The crop in the Snake river valley
and which centers around st. An
th0ny, promises to be more than
double the 1919 crop, due tn plenty
of irrigation water and better grow
ing conditions. The acreage is lit
tie larger. approximately $4,000 and
normal yield of twenty bushels per
acre is indicated.
A crop of high quality seed has
been raised in northern counties,
centering in Latah county. The ten
tative acreage is $4,000 and early re-
ports on yield run from five to twelve
sacks of around 100 pounds, to the
acre.
United States Crops
The feature Of the September re-
port on the nations crop prospects
is the immense crop of corn. 1t
totals 3,131, 100000 bushels or g.
900, 900 bushels larger than any pre-
vious crop. An indicated yield of
30.2 bushels per acre has only been
exceeded twice during the past fifty
five years and then by only fraction
of bushel.
Drought and rust damage reduced
spring wheat prospects. The COM
bined winter and spring wheat crops
now total 77O,0O0,000 bushels,

Keep EN- Rolling
Says Advocate
of Reclamation

1t must be evident to the people
| that, during the last eighteen months
since the Idaho Reclamation associa-
ton was born, there has been
mighty revival in reclamation work.
You will notice by all the papers
all over the country how one organ
ization after another is being formed
and meetings are being held, and
there is general revival along rec
lamation lines.
Congressman Smith says that since
the Idaho Reclamation association
started to do business there has been
more interest created in reclamation
than in the previous ten years.
If all this is true, the association
is filling it's mission, and the only
way to keep it up is to keep 'em roll
ing. Consequently, we are sending
out reclamation propaangda from
this office, not only to Idaho, but to
all far-western states.
Since springing our letter which
was sent to 500 newspapers in the
HARVEST, the cry for a secretary of
the interior to be western man has
been taken up, and reconigtion has
been obtained. AS soon as the heads
of both national tickets were nom
mated, we set all the machinery we
had to work to impress upon them
the importance of reclamation in the
west. Senator Harding has been the
first one to declare himself, and it
is expected that Governor Cox will
do the same in the near future. All
of these declarations are being given
publicity all over the west.
So the Idaho Reclamation associa-
ton, while not claiming to be the
only pebble on the beach, is, by earn
est, persistent, intelligent effort
every day spreading this great Cos
pei, and the beacon lights of newer
and better conditions for this great
work are being seen on a thousand
hills.
It is by insistent, persistent, con-
sistent plugging every day that q
great movement of this kind is put
over. We are not working for honor
or glory. What we want is water on
our arid lands, drainage for our
swamp lands, and stumps removed
from our cut-over lands, and we are
strong for any movement that will
bring this about within reasonable
time.
Anyhow, the Idaho Reclamation |
association may Justly feel that much |
has been accomplished by sticking to
our job with the steadfastness Of pur-
pose that produces practical results.
What we want is this great work |
done in as short time as possible,
and this great work to assume prac-
teal construction as soon as possible.
1t is the duty Of everybody inter
ested in reclamation to lend q hand,
as this is not a one-man job. 1t is
too blythe Pocatello Tribune.

500 bushels, based on a condition Of
90 per cent of normal, which is 8
points above the August condition.
A crop Of 1850, 900 bushels was pro-
duced in 1919.
This crop has shown steady i'm
provement all season. A September
condition OF 95 per cent forecasts a
production Of 909,720 bushels, that
is, If the entire acreage were cut for
grain. However, a large portion is
cut for ensilage, report OF which
will be given next month. On the
same basis, $40, 900 bushels was the
estimate for 1919.
Potatoes
During August, the crop dropped
off some $1,000 bushels, due prin-
cipally to unseasonably hot weather
the first twenty days. Since that
time there have been rains and good
growing weather thruout the COM
mercial districts. The outlook now
is for 6,330,00O bushels while the
1919 crop totaled 100000 bushels.
Growers report that the tubers have
seemed slow to set; that there are
not many in hill and that the yield
of Russets will not be as heavy as
expected altho Rurals are doing well.
The car lot movement Is placed at
1852, cars. Indications September /
we're that Bonneville county would
have sc per cent of a normal yield;
Bingham, 81 per cent; Minidoka,
80 per cent; Cassia, SO per cent;
Twin Falls, SO per cent; Jerome, 81
per cent and Canyon 6S per cent.
y -" Hay
A total of 2,163,000 tons is the
September estimate, the largest crop
on record. 1t is made up of 2,01O,-
900 tons of tame hay and $4,000
tons of wild hay. Yield per acre was
tame hay, five tons; wild hay, IL
tons, while last year it was 2.5 tons
and 10 ton respectively. Total pro-
duction in 1919 was 1,75O,000 tons.
Splendid crops of timothy, timothy
and clover and alfalfa were secured.
Timothy situation is much better in
north Idaho than last year.
Fruit
Apples lost five points from last
month and now promise a crop OF
3,177,300 bushels compared with
4,35O,00O bushels in 1919. The car
lot movement is estimated at 1900
cars. Quality, size and color are sat
isfactory so far. Damage from in
sect pests is reported small. Prunes
are now being harvested and shipped.
This years, crop is the largest yet
grown. A few sales in bulk have
brought around $4,000 per ton.
Peaches only returned Is per cent Of
normal crop. Severe winter injury
to the trees and late spring frosts did
the trick. Pears have done particu-
larly we'll and crop of $4,000
bushels is promised against 10000
bushels last year. There was little
blight and insect damage.
Sugar Beets

drop of, two points from August. The

Summary

Summary
Altho practically all of Idaho's
staple crops registered losses from
their August 1 prospects, still they
have comfortable lead over their
1919 performance and present indi-
cations are that the total volume of
crop production will be the largest
in the history of the state. Hay,
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes, beets and
prunes are on hand with unusually
large crops. The barley, apple, pea,
bean and other crops are not record
breakers, still they are very sub
stantial and considerably better than
1919.
The rains which fell generally over
the state the last week in August
were beneficial to potatoes, sugar
beets and pasture are greatly facilit-
ated preparation for fall seeding of
wheat and rye. Light frosts have
occurred, but no serious damage has
been done. ,l..is-l
,i'-''"' Wheat
There was a slight decline in
spring wheat prospects from August
first due to the long drought holding
over into the first twenty days of that
month. A condition of sc per cent
at harvest time forecasts a drop of
15,77S,00 bushels compared with
15,7S4,000 in August and 12,600,00
bushels in 1919. With the prelimin-
airy estimated winter wheat crop OF
5,90S,500 bushels, there is possible
total of 21,6S6,500 bushels, depend
ing on how threshing returns hold
up. Last year the total production
was 1S,705, 900 bushels.
Harvesting is completed and
threshing is making rapid Roadway
Some excellent yields are reported
from northern counties and the many
irrigated districts. The hot dry
weather cut down spring wheat
yields.
Oats
A recovery of one point in condi-
ton over last month is noted and the
outlook at harvest time was for
9,311, 900 bushels against 100000
bushels in 1919. Hot weather hast
ened ripening especially in orthern
counties and other non-irrigated dis
tricts causing a reduction in weight
per bushel. The upper Snake. river
valley raised a larger crop than dur
ing. the past few years. 1t used to
raise very large crop of some Of the
finest oats in the country.
Barley
The September estimate is 4,222,-

rest of them and accept payment for
hotel Accommodations, but Mr.. Mccall
said that was their program and they
would not take the money. The board
then considered providing for them
at hotels but that conflicted with the
farm bureau plan so that the Bing-
ham county boys and girls would not
be in on the shows and the educa-
tional work being planned by the
farm bureau. The board decided to
wait until next year to raise the
money and then come in with their
part of the expense. They said this
year they would manage somehow to
take care of their own representa-
tives at the fair. Mr.. Mccall said
that If Bingham county could not
put up any money this year, they
would still 60 ahead and provide
quarters for the Bingham county
representatives just the same as If
they had paid their money. He did
not wish to leave them OF the pro-
gram nor have them miss the advant-

them just because they were short
