REPORTS
ARE BELOW
NORMAL
Slightly Below Ten Year Aver
age Due to Freezing and
Thawing Weather

The first condition report on the
winter crop since it was planted last
fall indicates that it has survived the
winter with q condition Of 81 per cent
of normal. Accol ding to the report
issued today by julius H. jacobson
Of the Iraho Crop Reporting Service,
this is IL points below the condition
a year ago and points below the ten
year average April 1st condition. Un-
favorable soil and moisture condi-
tiOns at seeding time last fall caused
by the prolonged drought, resulted in
much late seeding, thus preventing
necessary development before winter
set in. The condition of the crop last
December was only "a per cent of
normal or ten points below the ten
year average condition for that month.
Unusually low temperature during
January, very light precipitation in
February and alternate freezing and
thawing in March, are contributing
factors to the present low condition. A
report on the acreage abandoned will
be issued in May and therefore no es-
innate on production is made at this
time.
In principal producing counties Of
Latah, Lewis, Nez Perce and Idaho,
the condition of the crop ranged from
~ to S3 per cent of normal, April 1st
compared with a range of 95 to a 100
a year ago. Madison, jefferson and
Fremont counties have returned to
winter wheat this year. Thousands of
ley were mostly covered with snow
the latter part of March. The condition
ranges from 92 to 81 percent Of nor
NAL. The important counties of Ban
mock, Franklin, Oneida and Power in
dicate good prospects. The upper
country has had much precipitation
and dry farmers are happy. \
The United States crop is estimated
at 4S3, ,617 600 bushels compared with
731 ,636,000 bushels last year. This is
due to greatly reduced acreage and
the low condition of 75.5 per cent of
normal A year ago the condition was
99.S per cent. In the great central
winter wheat states condition figures
range from 80 73 per cent of normal.
RYE
The rye crop has survived the win
ter about as well as it did in 1919,
the April l condition being 90 Per cent
