Of all state crops, potatoes seem slated for a five per cent decrease in acreage. Total acreage devoted to all crops will dependent upon weather conditions during seeding with prospects for ap proximately 8,500,000 acres, and about 4,300,000 devoted to both winter and spring wheat. A general picture of the state would show northeastern Montana with below normal soil moisture, southeastern sections with fair or a bundant reserves and the western half with about average conditions," ac cording to the state publicity office. "Beginning at the eastern border of Hill county," the report said, "Blanie county reports moisture reserves be low normal. In Phillips county fall plowed and fall burned stubble has practically no moisture, while in Val ley the county agent indicates it is decidedly dry." Roosevelt has the smallest amount of moisture stored in the soil for several years and both Sheridan and Richland report no pre cipitation and snow all gone. • "In the area south and east of Bill ings, including Rosebud, Custer, Wi baux, Prairie and Fallon, an abun dance of precipitation is recorded. A surplus of moisture prevails in Still water and roads are almost impass able. With the western half in average condition very little farm work has been done, but everywhere farmers are ready to go into the fields as soon as weather permits. Summer Fallow Every well handled summer fallow land, even in the dry section carries » jÄ to Si.' gather was cool and cloudy dur mg the week with snow disappearing «lowly and practically all going into fallow ground Livestock Livestcok is in better shape than usual. Grass is starting. The feed sit uation seems satisfactory, though in ganders county, due to the long feed spring pa. vurage snows up soon, in f avored kilties sheep are moving to ranges with lambipg of small «ocks under way and good crops re The demand for men seems smaller than usual for this season of the year with supplies plentiful and many sec tions indicating a surplus. The report will be issued weekly until fall, with the co-operation of the county agents. Labor Supplies September to December precipita tion last fall was but 2.34 inches com pared with 6.29 inches during this per iod a year ago and the normal for the period of 4.18 inches. Moisture receiv ed in the fall before soils freeze is stored for spring use in the form of frost and it is in this form of mois ture that the present season is defi cient compared with both last season and the normal, the crop reporting of ficials point out. In fall and early winter moisture western Montana compared with nor mal shows the greatest average de ficiency of 2.69 inches which taper off to an average deficiency of 1.57 inch es in eastern Montana. Since western Montana is less dependent upon soil stored moisture than upon snow stor age for irrigation water, the early winter deficiency has been largely off set by the heavy winter snowfall which has brought the mountain storage of snow up to a favorable amount, which with average spring and early sum mer weather conditions should insure a general satisfactory water supply. The combined normal January, Feb ruary and March precipitation for the state averages 2.58 inches. Actual precipitation during this period just passed, as indicated by reports from representative points in the state, promises to moderately exceed the normal. This is in contrast with a be low normal amount received during this period a year ago and furnishes generally a better supply of surface moisture than was the case when the 1928 growing season opened. No chi nooks or heavy drying winds have made drains upon the late winter snowfall which as it has melted has made a very satisfactory penetration of soils. Summer fallow particularly is reported showing a good moisture penetration.
