WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY

Southeast Idaho: Moderate tenn
peratures prevailed and the light
rains that occurred were very bene-
fetal. Oats, wheat and barley are
being harvested in good condition; ;
this work was delayed somewhat by
rains in few localities. Threshing
of winter wheat is in progress. Po-
tatoes are good to excellent and the
early crop is being dug. Beets are
growing well, and corn fairly so.
Second crop alfalfa is being cut. Seed
peas are being harvested in good con-
dition. The range is improving and
stock are in good condition. Lettuce
harvest has begun in Fremont
county.
Southwest Idaho: There were
three fairly hot days about the mid
die of the week, otherwise tempera-
lures were generally little below
normal. There was some cloudiness,
but sunshine was ample. Scattered
showers occurred on two days, but
the amounts of precipitation were
light and the rains had little effect
on the progress of crops or the pros
ecution of farm work. All crops are
maturing rapidly and in good condi-
ton. The third crop of alfalfa is
making splendid growth. Corn did
well. Prunes and apples are making
excellent growth and begin to show
color. The drop of prunes has about
ceased. A plentiful crop of melons
of excellent quality is being mar
keted. Harvesting and threshing of
wheat are making rapid progress.
Digging and marketing of the early
potato crop has been hampered by
unfavorable market conditions and
transportation difficulties. Pastures
and ranges mostly good and all live
stock thriving.
