STATE CROPS
SHOW INCREASE

Reports of the department OF
agriculture for the month of August
show that the Rocky mountain
states have Jared better than any
other section of the country in the
condition of crops for the month.
1t was an unusually hard period in
most parts of the country, but crops
in Colorado and adjoining states
held their own and the yields will
be considerably larger than last
year.
1t is estimated that the total
value to farmers of eight of the
leading crops of Colorado, not in
cluding sugar beets, will be $32,-
3Sl, 700, or about 100000 more
than for last year. There has been
considerable increase in the acre
age of sugar beets, and as the con-
dition of the crop is about the same
as for last year, there will be an In
crease in the value to farmers.
