Plats Of what will be the largest
reservoir in Larimer county are
now in the hands of the state engi-

asserted that by the erection Of this

couragement for the planting of a
largely increased acreage next year.
When the paint manufacturers OF
the country held their annual con-
vention in Denver last winter they
sent out an appeal for the farmers
to grow fax for the making Of lin
seed oil. 1t looks as though the
crop in Weld county this fall will
prove that fax can be grown to ex-
cellent advantage on the dry lands
and that 1t will make a profitable
crop during the period of demon
stration for the heavier crops.
At the meeting of farmers to be
called this fall. probably at Foss-

be present to advise the growers on

CROPS SHORT
SAYS REPORT

washington, Aug. l0.-A tre-
mendous decline in the crops, gem
eral throughout the country and
,raceable to drought and intense
heat. occurred during last month,
as indicated by official figures aud
estimates made today in the month";
ly crop report of the department OF
agriculture.
The report today is the worst as
to general crop conditions. that the
department has issued for any sin
gle month since 1901. The figures
Indicate material slump in the
prospects OF all crops. Corn, which
at this season is the most import
ant, declined during the month from
condition of about 5 per cent be-
low the average. as indicated by the
July report, to nearly Is per cent
below the average. In some states
it fell off in condition nearly 90 per
cent This does not indicate, how
ever. that the crop will not be large,
because the acreage of corn this
year is exceptionally heavy.
Thecondition of the crop at this
time indicates yield per acre
smaller than in any year since 1901,
although the indicated total produce
tion has been exceeded in only five
years in the history Of the country,
1t is pointed out that the deteriora-
tion in the crop was checked some
what by rains during the latter part
of July. Experts incline to the
opinion that the crop may be fur
ther improved by the generous rains
of the last week.
The weather during July caused
a fall in the condition Of corn which
indicates a loss of 100000
bushels from the estimated total
production of the previous month,
Spring wheat fell from a condi-
ton a month ago of 1e per cent be-
low the average to approximately
81 per cent below the average, in
dicating a loss of about 35.2S6.000
bushels. The indications OF the
total yield of wheat per acre, are
the lowest since 1904.
The oats crop is very short. ac-
cording to the figures Of today's re-
port. 1t has been smaller three
times and larger seven times during
the last ten years. The crop of hay
probably will be the smallest in fif-
teen years. The total yield OF pota-
toes indicated has been less than
this years crop only twice in the
last ten years. 1t is regarded as
likely. however, that the late plant
ed crop, on account of recent rains,
may increase the total estimated
production. The condition this
month indicates loss of about 35,-
648,0OO bushels from last months
estimated yield.

general rain throughout the
county varying from less than one
