Throughout the night hundreds of
soldiers sent to relieve the overworked

little effect on the confagration and
in many cases provided splintered fuel

WILL SMASH THE RECORDS.

Record-breaking yields of wheat
are being reported from various sec
tioHs of Colorado, and the 7-million-
dollar crop will not only be the larg-
est in the history of the state. but
will be the most profitable to the
farmers.
One tract of land near Fort Collins
produced 81 bushels to the acre.
while the crop in that section ran
all the way from 40 to 50 bushels to
the acre. These records, against an
average of IL bushels in Kansas and
10 bushels to the acre in the Dakotas.
show the enormous wealth hidden in
Colorado agricultural lands.
The Colorado Milling & Elevator
Company's experts have been out in
the field all over the state and are
bringing back news of the wheat
crop which will produce joy among
those who will profit by big haryests.
The yield per acre is running three
or four times as great as the yield in
surrounding states, and the price per
bushel for wheat will be higher than
it was last year.
The mills Will pay the farmers
about 81 cents per bushel. which is a
distinct gain over last years quota
tions. The big averages and good
prices mean that the farmers profits
will be unusually large and that
there will be plenty of money in all
wheat raising sections.-Denyer

FORESTS ON THE DECLINE.
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Washington, Sept. Careless
ness in the production of timber and
recklessness in its use because it mas
been cheap and abundant, has
brought upon the nation a menace
which will take many years of Wig
orous effort by individual forest OWN
ers, by the state and by the national
government to overcome and to reach
the necessary condition of equili-
brium between timber production
and consumption, says X. S. Kellogg,
assistant forester, in a forest service
publication issued today.
I'VE are cutting our forests three
times as fast as they are growing"
said Mr.. Kellogg. THE total yearly
drain upon our forests. not counting
losses from fires, storm and insects,
is some 10000, 100000 cubic feet.
The annual growth of our forests
