CROP ACREAGE INCREASES
Principal Change is in Winter Wheat
and Corn With Little in Oats

and Corn WIN LittiT III Seo
Statistics received at the labor
bureau on crop acreage show ma
terial increase on winter wheat and
corn and a decrease in spring wheat
and only slight increase in oats.
According to these statistics the total
corn acreage this year is 6,767o4o
acres. an increase over last year OF
294. SCI acres. The total acreage OF
winter wheat will be 1,S46,726, an IN
crease of 104,87O acres over last
wear. The spring wheat acreage this
year will be 29S,1S2, decrease OF
51,833 acres from last year. me oat
acreage this year will be 2,423,75O, an
increase of 3,106 acres.
The total increase in all the coun-
ties over last year in the corn acre
age amounted to 499,059, but there
was a total decrease in enough other
counties to make "a decrease OF 1884,
498 acres, leaving the net increase
in corn acreage of 29456l acres
The total increase in the acreage
Of winter wheat is 1924 acres, while
the decreases are 1854 acres, leav-
ing a net increase of 104,87O acres
in winter wheat.
The total increase in spring wheat
amounted to Al, 400 acres, but the
total decrease amounted to 93,l35
acres, while the total decrease
amounted to S7,4O3, leaving net in
crease of 3,106 acres over last year.
At this time it is impossible for the
public to get the details of the acre
age. as some of the county assessors
have made slight mistakes in their
returns and these have been sent
back for correction. The figures CIV
en- above, however, will be changed
very little. Knox county reported an
increase in corn acreage OF over
$1,000 acres.

CUSTER oUTDoEs ITSELF
Will Have the Best Crop Ever-Much
Land Selling

According to prominent farmers and
ranch owners throughout Custer
county, the general grain yield this
year will be nearly a third over that
of last year. There are great guam
titles of wheat. while the corn is ex-
ceptionally plentiful and in splendid
condition. In Broken Bow alone over
third more twine has been sold
over last year and other towns in
the county report accordingly.
Big deals in lands and live stock
are continually taking place, one sale
alone last week amounting to over
$1,000. Former Sheriff Armstrong,

Reservoir Committee Reports
From the tina! report of the Res
ervoir Committee. who were sent
10 Washington. we copy the fol-
lowing:
Hon. + T.. Newell. Chief En-
gin.er of the Reclamation Service
accorded the committee two very
kindly interviews We went over
the entire subject with Mr.. Newell,
first asto the possibility Of inter.
esiing the government in con-
s'fuc,iug reclamation reservoirs in
the San Luis valley, Colorado. and
second, AS to whether in his judg
ment the CONSTRUCTION of resrr-
voirs by private enterprise in the
san Luis valley would necessarily
interfere with the governments
proposed construction and opera
tion Of what is known M the Engle
Dam, in New Mexico.
Mr.. Newell informed ns ,ha, the.
Reclamation Service had never
given the San Luis valley any par
iicular attention, and that he did
not believe II would be possible for
the Reclamation Service to under
take the con-t ruction of n reser-
vnir in tins valley, because the
entire Reclamation fnnd will b~
needed for many years 10 come to
complete the works already laid
ont aud proposed 10 he constructed
lay the government III other por
iion- of the country; that he did
not see any hope for the govern
ment underiakin., any work in this
part of Colorado.
Mr.. Newell also informed us
that he did not believe the con-
strnction of reservoirs by private
enterprise in san Luis valley would
Interfere with the proposed govern
ment dam III New Mexico; that h.
believed IN thu. encouragement Of
private enterprise. and hoped to
see matters so adjusted that the
reservoirs already undertaken IN
the san Luis valley could he
pushed on To completion.
We then called upon the Secre-
'ary Of the Interior. Our inter
view with the secretary WAS some
whs. brief, but he assured us that
the filings of the Respective. ressr-
voir claimSn,s in the San Luis
valley should receive due and
proper consideration.
We also called On DIR. Mars. Of
the Interior Department, who has
charge Of all the filings and maps.

ments) and he assured ns h- would
act upon such fling. Just M soon
ss the question could he settled of
whether filings made on surveys
inaugursted after MSrch |, 1903,
would he recognized.
We ARE satisfied that the argu-
ments presented by ms to the
vsrIon- departments. aud inter-
views had with diifernni officers.

ings IN The San Luis valley in y
more favorable lieh, than il has
