Crops Set New Mark.
BOISE.-Idaho is closing one of the
most bountiful harvests in its history.
A report just issued by the state agri-
cultural statistician, forecasts smash
ing many records. The crop is now
estimated larger than ever before.
"Idaho's crop promises to exceed all
previous records" says the report re-
garding apples. ut gained IL points
in condition over September, making
1t 80 per cent of normal, or 1888, 700
bushels. There is such demand for
Idaho apples that 400 cars will be
required to move the commercial crop.
The reason is that it will be profitable
to ship the lower grades this year.
"The proportion of windfalls will
be larger, but considerable of these
will be shipped in bulk, while OF
those that were hit by hail during
July many are being wrapped, boxed
and shipped as hail-marked.' Their
appearance is under par somewhat
but in size, cooking and eating quail
tiles they are just as good as un
marked apples.
There is an immense crop in the
Boise and Payette valleys of the
highest quality. Farm orchards are
generally we'll loaded and districts
not ordinarily considered commercial
will add materially to the states
total carlot shipments.
'Idaho's potato crop is holding W
we'll, though frosts have had theil
effect. October estimates for the coun
try at large show a gain of 22,68I
bushels over September, but the tota
is still short 92,413,000 bushels of the
1920 crop. Killing frosts which came
early were responsible for reducing
the crop to 1,1gS.000 bushels from pros
poets of September l. This was espe
cially true in the non-irrigated sections
and in north Idaho.
