Sweet. 1913 Colorado Crop Figures.

Denver.-For the first time reports
of Colorado's farm crop for 1918 are
in a sufficiently complete form to
make tabulated statement Of the re-
turns by crops and to reach total,
largely based on statistics. This has
ben done by Lou ID. Sweet, the agri
cultural expert.
The result shows magnificent ad'
vance over last year, a total crop
value this year of $4,000, 900, an in
crease over 1912 OF $27.Oo0,000. Mr.
Sweet thinks that the final returns
will carry the total to an even higher
figure and prepared this table to be
on the safe side.
Adding the increase In livestock to
the crop Increase there Is total gain
