MAY CROP REPORT

OF the $4,000 acres of wintel
wheat planted in Idaho last fall, it Ii
estimated that per cent (15,00t
acres) has been winter killed Of
seeded to other crops because of pool
stand. The 365, 900 acres remaining
for harvest have a condition of 81
per cent, forecasting a total produc
ton of 100000 bushels, assuming
that average variation will prevail
until harvest
This years indicated production
compares with 11,004,OVO bushels
harvested in 1928 and the past five
year average of 9,384,O0O bushels.
The present condition of 81 per
cent of normal is the same as re-
ported a month ago. May 1, 1923,
condition of 80 per cent was re-
ported and the ten-year average
May 1 condition is "a per cent.
The above indicates the winter
wheat crop is starting out under
average conditions, but good soaking
rains are needed or there will be
rapid deterioration.
The United States winter wheat
acreage sustained an abandonment of
10 per cent thru winter killing, leav-
ing 36,898,00O acres for harvest with
an indicated production of 553,O13,-
600 bushels. Last year 572,34O,OOO
bushels were harvested from &c.
$4,000 acres.
Hay and Pastures Deteriorate
Cool, windy weather and lack of
precipitation held back development
of hay and pastures. This season is
fully ten day later than last season
as regards crop development Hay
has a condition of 90 per cent of
normal compared with 50 per cent a
year ago and SO per cent, the FIVE
year average May condition.
Pastures are only 50 per cent of nor
NAL compared with SO per cent April !
l and so per cent year ago.
1t is estimated that 477,00O tons |
of hay OF per cent of the 1928
CROP are on farms May 1. On March |
l, hold-Over stocks of hay were esti-
mated at $4,000 tons (31 per cent? |
which means that nearly half the
supply was fed out during March and
April.
and Seeding Well Advanced
Weather conditions during April
greatly facilitated farm work with
he result that 80 per cent of the
blowing and 72 per cent of all plant
ng were completed by May 1. A year
lgo, only 6S per cent of the blowing
md "a per cent of the planting had
)een completed. Generally good
tands have been secured from all
eedings, but rain is needed not only
or plant growth, but to conserve ir-
igatiOn water supplies, which
hreaten to be short.
Frost Damages Fruit
Killing frosts April 23 to rs and
vigorously low temperatures there
fter caused considerable damage to
II fruits. A near total loss was
verified because of the late season. :
or this reason and the additional
act that the average date of last
illing frost varies from May IA in r
Ieiser to May 10 and 23 in Council
nd Twin Falls, respectively, it is I'M
-acticable to estimate at this time
lie extent of damage A special re-
)rt will be issued later. Prunes

TAKE BOTH TOGETHER
Milk of Magnesia and
Mineral Oil Now
Combined

One Of the most important medical
achievements Of recent years Is the
combination of milk Of magnesia and
mineral oil. Haley's MagnesiaOi sue
cessfully combines the two, and makes
them doubly effective.
The oil carries the magnesia straight
to the lower bowel, the seat of most
so-called stomach trouble. All Of the
antacid properties Of the milk of mag
nesia are applied to correcting the
trouble at its source. Poisonous acids
are neutralized, clogged tracts are lubri
cated-at one and the same time. Ac-
ton Is prompt. but devoid of gripping
Delightful to take: no oily taste. Can
be mixed with milk and given children
without their knowledge.
