Denver.-Those crops of Colorado
that last year brought to the farmers
of the state $56.Ss5.502 will have a
value ON the farms this year of $64,-
51S.320. according to the November
crop report by the bureau of crop es-
Inmates of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The increase. 10
per cent, will be distributed among
many more farmers than had profitable
haryests last year. and the benefits to
the state will therefore be much great
er than indicated BY the $s,0O0.O00 In
crease.
The values Of those Colorado crops
on which the government has already
made Quantitative estimates this year
compare as follows with the values for
last year:

The value of this years crops are
figured at current prices, as ascer-
tained by the government, while those
for the 1918 crops are the final fig
ures for that year, showing the totals
received for the entire years produc-
tion at the market prices that pre-
vailed throughout the marketing
months. 1t is therefore possible that
the total for 1914. will be increased
before the marketing period is ended.
There has been a remarkable In
crease this year in the production OF
corn. wheat, apples. potatoes and hay,
but In some cases prices are lower
than they were year ago. In sugar
beets there has been sharp decrease
in acreage and tonnage, but prices will
be higher than they were in 1913, as
tho sugar content Of the beets this
year is much higher than last year.

The spirit that the national thanks
giving stands for will help realize a
very pretty Jewish legend. When the
Creator had finished his work he
asked the angels what they thought
Of 1t. It was vast and perfect, they
said, but one thing was wanting-s

fll all quarters necessarily with
sweet songs offering Thanksgiving to
Its Maker for his goodness. A strain

news Of his disappearance. Mothers
weep a. they pray Tor blessings upon
the distant one, and weep when they
come bringing sheaves Of blessings
with them.
We know of that sort of thing in
the history of the crop that has Just
been harvested. Such anxiety there
has never been over It! So much de-
pended upon what should come back
to us from the seed grain we threw
into the soil and helplessly left there.
last spring. Whether prosperity or
tribulation should befall our coun,
try hung upon the crop. Wars abroad
and restricted funds at home were
hard to put up with even temporarily.
and all over America thoughtful
men anxiously awaited what every
week brought forth regarding the state
a the growing grain. Hundreds of
farmers had struggled along through
Encouragement so far, and their sue
cess or failure seemed to depend just
upon this one years crop.
And then news gradually filtered
through the usual channels Of infor-
nation that plenty was to crown the
plains. A first-rate crop was harvest

years success with the grain means SO
much.
The heaviness which brooded over
