Within the last few weeks, the
language Of the French Bill for the
surface of phosphate lands became
a law, making available for entry
more than seven and one-half mill
ion acres in the west.
Within the last few weeks, Repre-
sentative French led the fight in, the
House successfully for appropriation
of 500, 0001annually for survey of
grant lands, that these lands may be
taxable. Ten or twelve surveying
parties are today at work in Idaho.
Within the last few weeks, Repre-
sentative French helped to pass the
twenty-year extention bill upon re-
clamation projects through the
House.
This in part is why Mr.. French
could not personally campaign the
State.
Mr.. French stands for a non-part-
isan tariff commission: maintenance
and strengthening of antitrust
laws; laws to prevent monoplies in

ed whereby the large orchard and farm
holdings of j. H. and w. E. Kellogg on
Bone mesa have passed into the hands
of Charles Mety, Denver capitalist.
In turn, the Kelloggs have purchased
$50 acres of land forty miles from
Denver in the Greeley district. AS

Gently arrived in San Francisco from

after the news reached the slant eyed
heathens that eggs were selling in
Pacific coast cities at 75 cents per

The egg famine is not confined to
the Pacific coast, however. as 1t IL

tions in the alfalfa market, which has
been booming right along ever since
the drouth news came from Kansa S
last summer. We have, however, made
calculus on the minimum valuation of
81 per ton, with only four tons to the
acre. which is certainly conservative
enough to suit everybody. A drouth
in some of the mountain districts
particularly Routt and Moffat counties
cut down the yield of native hay so
that the total shows a discount from
the returns of yeas ago. Wheat is
off in prices owing to the manipula-
ton of the milling trust, and is calcu-
lated at rs cents the bushel, which is
rather low figure considering that we
had only normal crop. Potatoes are
still in doubt, for so many of them are
held back in storage awaiting a rise in
the market that we have figured only
on present quotations.
The corn, sorghum, milo and kafir
crops have to be calculated mostly On
their forage valuation, although the
half of our estimate is set to the cred
it of the grain, in the corn, and is con.
siderably under the estimate made by
the government in November. Oats
have panned out remarkably well, but
the price is less than that of last year.
Barley and kindred feeds have moved
up perceptibly in the grand scale, but
deserve the place they have attained.
It was a difficult matter to arrive at
the figures on the orchard products,
and we have rather underestimate
the total if anything There is boost
ing effect noticeable in the citation on
the truck and canning crops, which are
gradually increasing because they
have been paying SO well.
The livestock industry, especially the
beef end of it, shows a decidedly heal
thier tone and comes through with
profitable balance on the credit side
of the ledger which will continue If
the winter losses do not nip us too Sc
verely. The dairy business is holding
its own steadily and strongly, with
prospects for an upward tendency the
coming year. The sheep folks have
not been doing so well because they
had to suffer a per cent discount on
their wool: nor are their livestock
values holding out quite SO stiffly as in
later years. The horse family has suf-
fered quite a material decline. The
poultry tribe is merely holding its own
while the bee men with an exceptional
ly good year have moved up several
pegs. The future is full Of hope for
the prosperity of our agricultural class
es. The present layer Of heavy snow
predicates a great grass and irriga
tion season for next year. and we all
have our wishbones set for it because
we need its benefactions.-Field and

THE APPRAisEMENT OF
OUR ANNUAL OUTPUT

Figuring up the annual estimate on
our crops, we find the Colorado output
for 1913 aggregates the grand total of
$177, $50, 900. Throughout this issue
will be found a detailed account of the
production and the recapitulation CIV
en- in the table herewith conforms very
minutely to the actual production. One
fault with our statisticians is that they
leave out half the items that should be
credited among our agricultural pro-
ducts. For the first time in twenty
years our estimates show a decline in
few items, due to number of caus-
es, but the improvements as a whole
are the substantial results of the grad
ually increasing acreage, as witnessed
by the bringing in of more land-both
under irrigation and throughout the
dry farming districts. OF course our
greatest results have been achieved on
our irrigated acres, which now number
trifle In excess Of four millions, with
practically every one OF them under
productive cultivation. Following Is
the tabulaton of our annual output:

President Wilson's suggestion of
presidential primaries has met with
well nigh universal approval. In some
quarters it may be approved because it
comes from the president, but the mer-
it of the idea, apart from its sponsor,
is the most attractive feature. Any
thing that separates the political boss
from his job stands high in the annals
of the day and generation.-Grand
