CROP OF s100,000,O00.
CAUSES COLORADO FARMERS TO
WEAR PLEASED SMILE.
State Ranks Sixth in Increase of Agri.
cultural Products Showing Gain
of 10 Per Cent.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Colorado farmers are jubi-
liant over the 1914 crop outlook. The
prospects are for an increase of 10
per cent over the best yields of twen-
ty years past. The showing is re-
garded as remarkable, since agricul-
tural conditions in Colorado for the
last ten years have been 1898 per
cent of normal.
According to report of the bureau
of crop estimates of the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture, crops over
the whole country are IA per cent bet
ter than the ten-year average. Only
six states are ahead of Colorado in
point of increase of production. The
states and their ratings are: Kansas,
117.2 per cent; Nebraska, 1853 per
cent; South Dakota, 112.S per cent:
North Dakota, 1902 per cent; Iowa.
1902 per cent, and California. 11O per
cent. The high showing of these
states is' due in part to the fact that
they have bumper crops and in part to
the low normal rating for the last ten
years.
Colorados ten-year period has been
we'll up to former standards, SO that
her rating means a greater relative in
crease than is shown by the many
other states
Not only has the yield per acre
greatly surpassed former years, but
the acreage under cultivation is also
much larger, so that the general agri-
cultural output will show an increase
much greater than the 1923 per cent
estimate of the agricultural bureau.
Prices also are better than before, and
the total wealth that will flow into the
farmers pockets will be far more than
for any other year. The value of all
crops is estimated at 00,000,000.
Estimates put the corn cror 70 per
cent larger than ever before. The
price, according to the dope" will be
per cent greater than the average for
the last five years. The average on
July 1 of this year was $0755, while
for the last five years 1t has averaged
sO.695 bushel. This means that Col
orado's corn crop will be worth about
$4,000, 900.
The price of wheat has fallen off 20
per cent, but the 35 per cent increase
in the production will more than off
set the fall in price. The price, has
dropped from sO.962 for the five-year
average to s0.769 for this year.

Puerto Mex.-victoriano Huerta
left Mexican soil Monday night, prob
ably never to return. After open signs
of mutiny had led to the arrest of
three officers attempting to incite the
soldiers to assasinate him, the ex-dic-
tator listened to the fearful entreaties
of his wife and friends and capitu-
lated, boarded the German cruiser
Dresden and sailed for Jamaica.
The three men arrested were discov-
cred in the private car of Gen. Juan
Fernandez, which was coupled directly
behind the car occupied by Huerta.
They were attempting to arouse the
soldiers of the Zaragoza brigade and
Gen. Blanquet's Twenty-ninth, so that
they would mutiny and assassinate
Huerta.
The plotters were a lieutenant, a
sergeant and a citizen who is a rebel
sympathizer. They were Immediately
arrested and lodged in the carcel.
Huerta was advised to have them
shot Immediately, but he only, laughed
and refused to give the order He said:
my life already has been threatened
SO many times that l refuse to be in
terested any more"
Without the slightest furore and
with no touch of the dramatic except
the presence along the water front of
half hundred barefoot soldiers of the
Twenty-ninth regiment and the Zara-
goza brigade. Huerta left the country
whose destiny he has done SO much
to shape.
1t was the irony of fate that the last
view of his native land that came to
him was the picture of the United
States warship Tacoma representing
the power of the hostile nation that
forced him to abdicate his dictator
ship.
With Huerta went his wife and
daughters, Elena, Eva and Celia. In
the party were also General and Sc
nora Banquet and their daughter Es-
peranza.
THE United States is certainly the
the most powerful nation on this side
of the Atlantic and perhaps the most
