MGS FINDS CROPS BEST EVER DEAX OF AG. COLLEGE HAKES STATE TOUR—EAKHEBS ARE IN HOPEFUL HOOD
With a reasonable price for farm products, the large crop which will be harvested in all parts of Idaho this season should result in a marked improvement in financial conditions according to Dean E. J. Iddings of the college of agriculture at the University of Idaho, who has arrived at home from a two weeks' trip during which he traveled 800 miles by automobile, visiting the prairie district and the cut-over district in north Idaho and the dry farming and irrigated sections in the south and southeast. He states that throughout the state the general agricultural situation is the best he has ever known it. The only discouraging feature is some damage to the hay, caused by the rains, which have been pretty general throughout the state, and the lodging of wheat in the north and barley in the irrigated districts. The loss from this source, however, will not be great, he states.

One of the noticeable features of agriculture in Idaho this year, Dean Iddings says, is the increase in diversification and the growing of game crops more extensively in north Idaho and in the cut-over districts. In the south there is an increase in special crops. In the Twin Falls district there is a return to beans and an increase in the sugar beet acreage, and an increase in the sugar beet acreage.  Even greater increase in the acreage of corn. In the Twin Falls territory alone, it is estimated that there is 18,000 acres in corn and 30,000 acres in beans.
