COLORADO NEWS NOTES.
Practically complete reports from
county assessors to the State Immigra
tion Department show above 52,000
farms on which land is being cultivated
In Colorado this year, compared with
19,117 farms reported by county as
sessors last year. While there is ap
parently a large area in cultivation In
the state this year than last, the ap
| parent increase in number of farms is
I perhaps due to more complete returns
being made by county assessors this
year than previous years. The law re
quiring county assessors to collect ag
ricultural statistics annually became
effective In 1919, and this Is the third
year such statistics have been col
lected. Assessors are improving their
reports this year, due largely to the
demands of local buslnesa men and
commercial organizations for complete
and accurate reports.
Excavations 4 now being made of
ruins on the San Juan National forest
at Chimney Rocks, near Pagosa
Springs, Colorado, are proving of great
interest. The ruins are doubtless the
oldest In the United States and show
more primitive workmanship than
those in other localities. A permit
covering the San Juan forest was
granted the Colorado State Historical
and Natural History Society and J. A.
Jenncon, director and curator of the
department of archaeology and ethnol
ogy Is In charge of the work.
Three iron bridges which were seat
to the forestry bureau for erection In
I.a rimer county by the government
during the war, and which have never
been put into service, are to be taken
over by the State Highway Depart
ment and will be used on the South
Platte river not far from Denver.
They were Intended for use on the
Poudre river, but are only eleven feet
wide, and for this reason were never
erected. It is thought probable that
the bridges will be widened when they
are put up.
The state of Colorado was enriched
by $51,847.77 when the administrators
of the estate of Judson M. Bemis,
Colorado Springs millionaire, who died
April 6, turned over to Roy H. Black
man, state Inheritance tax collector, a
check for that amount. This sum rep
resents the state inheritance tax on a
net estate of $1,394,151.99. Bemis was
heavily Interested in the Bemis Bag
Company of Boston.
With the completion of tha half
mile track and the gigantic grand
stand and corrals, everything is now in
readiness for the opening of the “Ride

Springs, Aug. 2 2, 28 and 24. Already
more than 200 head of horses, includ
ing some of the most famous “buck
era” in the West, are housed in the
corrals alongside the track.
Four hundred and fifty vocational
students are to receive instruction at
the University of Colorado this fall,

twenty-five of whom will be trans
ferred to other schools.
Jake Cleveland, Boulder fireman,
has a badly broken right leg as a re
sult of a jump of six feet from a lad
der in the rear of the fire station at
Boulder. He was practicing fire fight
ing with other members of the depart
ment when the ladder on which he was
standing started to slip. To save him
self from a fall he jumped.
William Mahar and J. P. Henthorne
of Pueblo escaped death on the Sky
Line drive at Cafion City by jumping
from their automobile just before it
backed off the road and plunged 400
feet below. Mahar attempted to shift
from high gear to low while ascending
the drive but the clutch and brakes re
fused to work.
The long bridge over the Fountain
river was completely swept away on
the night of June 3, at Pueblo. It Is to
be replaced at once. As soon as ac
ceptable plans are made the contract
will be let by the city commissioners
and the structure started.
Fewer people in Larimer county will
he delinquent with their taxes this
year than for many years previous,
according to County Treasurer Wil
liam J. Ralph, who says 75 per cent
of the taxes were paid on time. With
thos§ who will pay before the list is
published, and after it appears in the
paper, it is thought that the sale of
property for taxes this year will be
quite small.
Weld county is being deluged with
hoboes as the result of the action of
the Union Pacific railroad in employ
ing special agents to rid its trains of
the non-paying travelers. Special
Agent Tom Cole, with a posse of as
sistants, “cleaned” two extra freight
trains at Pierce, a station twenty
miles north of Greeley, of sixty hoboes,
many of whom were negroes.
Glenn Hubbard of upper California
mesa, about six miles west of Olathe,
was instantly killed by a flash of light

den death In the family within a few
years, one brother being killed during
the war, and a second suffering a
broken neck when thrown from a
horse.
Charles Parcell of Pagosa Springs,
after pleading guilty, paid a fine of

! deer, being caught by rangers In the
| act of skinning the animal.
What is said to be the best yield ot
grain yet reported in Larimer county
comes from the Clyde Young place,
near La Porte. Forty acres of oats
that have just been threshed yielded
an avernge of eighty-two bushels to

CROPS DECLINE IN JULY
POTATO CROP IN COLORADO
THIS YEAR WILL BE PROF
ITABLE.
Report by U. 8. Bureau ef Markets
Give Present Conditions in
Colorado.
(W«<«rn Nitssir Deles Nova Service.)
Marked declines in condition for
corn and wheat from the July 1 fig
ures, a condition of all cropa of th#
state equaling 104.4 per cent of the
ten-year average, a decline of L 8
point during July, and the second
largest production of potatoes In the
history of the state, are the salient
features of the regular state-federal
August 1 crop report released through
the Colorado Co-operative Crop Re
porting Service.
Though all the principal crops suf
fered some declines in condition dur
ing July, the percentages of decrease
were generally small compared with
the declines registered for the same
crops nationally.
The potato crop is of great interest
to the farmers and others at this time,
due to the facts that Colorado pota
toes continue to show prospects for
excellent production, while nationally
the crop deteriorated 17.6 points since
the first of July, and on August 1 had
declined to a figure of 65.8 per cent
of normal with a forecast of only 313,-
000,000 bushels, compared with 431,-
000,000 bushels last year. This is the
smallest prospect since 1908, except in
1911 and 1916, when the United States
potato production went below 300,000,*
000 bushels. The Colorado crop de
clined only 1 point during July, and
on August 1 had a condition of 93 per
cent of normal, or 2 points higher
than last year on August 1, 8 points
above the ten-year average for this
date. Good growing conditions until
harvest may raise this estimate an
other 2,000,000 bushels, with more
complete returns from assessors. It
now appears that the area growers
estimated would be plunted is in ex
cess of 100,000 acres. The final esti
mote for the crop last year was 10,-
920,000 bushels. In 1911) the Census
Bureau showed 8,875,000 bushels har
vested from about 77,000 acres. The
largest crop in the history of the state
was in 1918, amounting to about 15,-
840,000 bushels. Usually about 70 to
75 per cent of the total production in
Colorado is considered commercial.
Winter wheat declined 5 points
during July and had a harvest time
figure of 84 per cent of normal. Based
on this condition the production is
at bushels, com
pared with about 19341,000 bushels,
tentatively revised estimate for last
year, and 13,675,000 bushels in 1919.
The spring wheat crop declined 7
points during July and reuched August
1 with a condition of 85 per cent, 5
points lower than last year on August
1 and 2 points above the ten-year
average. This condition promises a
production of 6,331,000 bushels, com
pared with 5,626,000 bushels last year.
The total production of both winter
and spring wheat in the state, as now
estimated, will amount to 30,831,000
bushels, compared with 25,467,000
bushels last year and 18,261,000 bush
els the Census Bureau figure for
1919.
Colorado corn declined 11 points
during July, and on August 1 was 84
per cent of normal, 6 points below
August 1 last year and 4 points high
er than the ten-year average. With
this condition figure, this year’s crops
of corn still promises to be the rec
ord crop for the state and amounts
to approximately 19,026,000 bushels,
ns compared with a revised estimate
of 18,940,000 bushels for last year.
These production figures are based on
the estimate that approximately 80
per cent of the acreage planted to
corn lost year was harvested for grain
and that the percentage for grain will
be about the same this year. In 1919
the corn crop of the state amounted
to 10,106,000 bushels, as shown by the
Census Bureau and was produced on
about 71 per cent of the corn acreage
planted.
All of the other principal crops in
dicate production somewhat greater
than the ten-year average. Oats,
8309,000 bushels; barley, 4388,000
bushels; rye, 1,540,000 bushels; all
hay, 3,214,000 tons ; alfalfa, 1,994,000
tons; grain sorghums, 2,297,000 bush
els; beans, 489,000 bushels; apples,
8,005,000 bushels; peaches, 753,000
bushels; pears, 314,000 bushels.
The cabbage and onion crops of the
state are both in excellent condition,
being 94 per cent of normal, or about
7 points above the ten-year average.
The condition of cantaloupes Is 87 per
cent, 4 points higher than the ten
year average, and sugar beets have a
condition of 96 per cent, compared
with a ten-year average condition on
August 1 of 89 per cent.
