The forecast for the rye crop of the
state is $4,000 bushels, based on a
condition of IS per cent which means
an average yield of about IL bushels
per acre on 10000 acres, which is 9S
per cent of the rye acreage harvested
for grain last year. The condition OF
the rye year ago was 95 per cent OF
normal, the season was unfavorable
and the yield was only 11.5 bushels
per acre, totaling 1,05s,000 bushels.
The soil condition for Colorado on
May /, as indicated by the average of
reports, improved II points over
April 4. and was 95 per cent of normal
as compared with 1O2 per cent May
last year and ITO per cent the con-
dition on May 1, 1920. Moisture con-
ditions in the western part of the
state have been favorable thruout the
past fall and winter. while the eastern
plains section has generally been very
deficient. The present good condition
is due to heavy precipitation since
about the 18th of April and especially
during the last week of the month.
The Hay of Colorado will amount
to 2,7S3,0OO tons this year according
to the State-Federal Cooperative Crop
Report just issued for May, 1. This
estimate is based on a condition OF
SO per cent OF normal, compared with
81 per cent at this time last year,
and last years crop finally totalled
2,914, 900 tons. According to reports
there is but little change in the acre
age devoted to hay this year. On
May /, about II per cent of last years
hay crop or 495 900 tons, remained on
the farms Of the state, compared with
25 per cent or TS5.000 tons of the 1920
crop on hand year ago, and $780,
