oOo This total, however. involves
considerable duplication resulting
from the resale of slaughter ami
mails which had been purchased ny
the farmers during the same year.
The total value OF the cattle I'm
c,udinr calyes) sold during 1909
rsnresented nearly two-thirds OF the
total value of animals sold, ana the
value of sheep sold represented
nearly one-fifth of the totai.
The census of 1900 called Tor the
receipts from the sale of all domes-
tic animals raised on the farms re-
porting and the total value OF tnose
slaughtered during 1899, which
amounted, respectively, to $s'tis'-
600 and 81 ,093,o0O.
The item of sales is not closely
comparable with that tor lSVS'
when the inquiry covered all safes
whether of animals raised on tne
farms reporting or elsewhere II IL
believed, however, that IN many
cases the returns for 1879 also IN
cluded receipts from sales OF ami
mails not actually raised on the
farm reporting.
Crops
The total value of crops In Coio-
RADIO in 1909 was $50,915,OOO. Or
This amount, S9.S per cent was con-
tributed BY crops for which the
acreage as well as the value was
reported. the remainder consisting
of the value of by-products (straw.
garden and grass seeds. etc.), de-
rived from the same land as other
crops reported, or of orchard fruits,
nuts, forest products. and the like.
The combined acreage of crops for
which acreage was reported was
2.614,312, representing 6O.S per
cent of the total improved land In
farms (4,302,1O1 acres). Most OF
the remaining improved land doubt
less consisted OF improved pasture.
land lying fallow. house and farm
yards. and land occupied by orch
ards and vineyards, the acreage Tor
which is not reported.
The general character OF Colo
RADIO agriculture Is indicated by the
fact that less than one-third (29
per cent? of the total value Of crops
in 1909 was contributed by the
cereals. about one-third 1888 per
cent? by hay and forage. about one
eighth (12 per cent? by sugar crops,
and about one-eighth U1.9 per
cent? by potatoes and other vege-
tables. The remainder, represent
ing 1872 per cent of the total. con-
sisted mostly of fruits and nuts.
The total value of crops In 1909
was 2OO.4 per cent greater than In
1899, this increase being no doubt
due in part to higher prices. There
was an increase of 6S.7 per cent in
he total acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported; there were
increases in the acreage OF all OF
the important crops, the greatest
absolute increase being that in the
acreage OF cereals.
Vegetables
In 1909 the total acreage OF pota-
toes and other vegetables was 49,

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-Sta-
tistics for farm products FOR COLO
RADIO are presented in bulletin
soon to be issued by Director Du-
rand, of the bureau of the census
department of commerce and labor
1t was prepared under the super
vision of John Lee Coulter, expert
special agent for agriculture.
The returns for live stock pro-
ducts obtained at the census OF
1910, like those for crops, relate
to the production of the calendar
wear 1909 1t is impossible to give
a total representing the annual pro-
duction of live stock products. for
the reason that the net value OF
products from the business of rails
ing domestic animals for use, sale.
or slaughter can not be calculated
from the census returns.
Dairy Products
The number of farms in Colorado
reporting dairy COWS on April 10,
1910, was 32,660, but only $3.50
reported dairy products in 1903.
That there should be this difference
is not surprising. Doubtless some
farmers who had dairy cows in lslo
had none in 1909, while other farm
ers neglected to give Information
for the preceding year or were un-
able to do so, perhaps, because the
farm was then in other hands. Dairy
products in general are somewhat
less accurately reported than the
principal crops. This Is particularly
the case as regards the quantity OF
milk produced. The number OF
farms which made any report of
milk produced during 1909 was
2O,335 somewhat less than the
total number reporting dairy pro-
ducts), and the number of dairy
cows on such farms on April 10,
1910, was 94,132. The amount Of
milk reported was 33.632.000 gal
Ions; assuming that there were the
same number of cows in 1909 as IN
1910 this would represent an aver
age of 357 gallons per COW. In
considering this average, however,
it should be borne in mind that the
quantity of milk reported is prob
ably deficient and that the dis
tinction between dairy and other
cows is not always strictly observed
in the census returns.
BY reason of the incompleteness
of the returns for milk produced
the census bureau has made no at
tempt to determine the total value
of dairy products for 1909. For
convenience partial total has
been presented comprising the re-
ported value of milk, cream, and
butter fat sold and the reported
value of butter and cheese made,
whether for home consumption or
for sale. The total thus obtained
for 1909 is S4,174,000. which may
be defined as the total value Of

should be noted. moreover. that
the values for 1899 include the
value OF more advanced products
derived from fruits or grapes. such
as cider. vinegar. dried fruits. and
the like, and may therefore involve
some duplication. while the values
shown for 1909 relate only to the
products in their original condition.

Ia an interesting article on "A Woman
and Her Raiment' In the American mag
azine, Ida NJ Tarbell says in part:
Napoleon at the beginning of the en-
pire allowed Josephine $4,000 a year for
there was never a year she did not far
outstrip the allowance. Mason declares
that on an average she spent $4,000 a
year and the itemzed accounts of ar
iicles in her wardrobe give authority for
the amount.
"Josephine's case is, of course, excep-
tional In history. She was an unframed
woman, generous and pleasure loving,
utterly without a sense of responsibility.
SHE had all the instincts and habits of a
dem-mondaine, moreover she had been
thrust into a position where she was ex-
pected to live up to great traditions of
-nagniieenee Her passion for ornament
had every temptation and excuse for it
was constantly excited by the boards of
greedy tradesmen and of no less greedy
ladies in waiting who hung about her
urging her to buy and give. 1t Is hard
to believe that Josephine's case could be
even remotely suggested in our democ-
racy; yet one woman in American society
bought last summer In Europe a half
dozen night gowns for which she paid
1900 apiece. There are women who will
start on journey with 100 or $50 pairs
OF shoes. There are others who bring
naok from Europe 40 or 50 new gowns
fer a season. What can one think of a
bill of $500 for stockings in one season.,
of $4,000 for a seasons gowns, coats and
Rats from one shop and as much more
in the aggregate for the same articles in
the same period from other shops; this
showing was made in a recent divorce
suit.
s"'What can one think of duties of over
$4,000 paid on personal articles by one
woman who yearly brings back similar
quantities of jewelry and clothes. This
$4,000 In duty meant an expenditure or
probably about 100000. 1t included over
$500 for hats. over $1,000 for corsets and
lingerie. This was undoubtedly excep-
tional; that is. few women of even great
wealth buy SO lavishly. Yet good round
sums even If they are small in compari-
son are spout Dy many noiich III thc'i

six to twelve gowns which will average
at least $3.50 apiece, and an occasional
woman will have half dozen averaging
from $3.50 to 500 apiece. One might say
that eight to twelve hats costing s25 to
$50 apiece was fair average, though $500

TO Fill the Vacant Seat

The body of Judge Simpson was
laid to rest on Friday in the presence
of those who knew him best and ap-
preciated him fully as citizen and
lawyer and neighbor. No one has
died in this state this year who was
more widely and deeply mourned. He
was earnest, sincere and capable-a
noble citizen who died at ripe age
in the harness of his chosen profess
sion.
The choice of his successor is no
light task On the supreme bench
Jefferson county has had no repre-
sentative in six years, although fully
half Of the cases carried TO the SUI
preme court arise in the Birmingham
district. If the county will rally to
the support of one man doubtless he
would be considered by the governor.
Judge Nesmith will probably be sup
ported for the vacant place by the
entire bar of this county. He has
demonstrated on the local bench high
judicial qualities, and the hope is en-
tertained here that he will become the
governors appointec to the vacancy
in our highest court.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES


Il had the pleasure of attending the
barbecue at Mcconnell, Sumter county,
Thursday of last week. said John
Sparrow This is an annual event
given by the Mcconnell club and the
citizens of the county. 1t is an old
fashioned country barbecue and minia-
ture agricultural show. l saw corn
over 1 feet high, taken from fields
which, 1t is estimated, will produce
more than 100 bushels to the acre, and
stalks of cotton from land that is pro-
ducing two bales to the acre. On
these lands had already been grown
profitable crops of truck and the cot
ton and corn were so much velvet to
the farmers.
Mcconnell is in the famous Cuba
York belt, the garden spot of Ala
bama. Stories of the productiveness
of the land. under intelligent culture,
would stagger belief but for the visi-
Bile evidence of their truthfulness in
fields which groan under the weight
of their wealth of fruitage. en-
joyed the barbecue thoroughly. and
my only regret was that Judge Mandy of
The AgeHerald was not present to
give us one of his pen pictures of
gracious women, beautiful girls and
free-hearted men breaking bread to-
gether under great oaks with blue
sky over a landscape that was one
broad smile of prosperity, peaee and
