COLORADO COAL OUTPUT LESS
Decrease of 1,75o,ooo Tons In 1918 or
Account of Strike.


Denver.-The production of coal in
Colorado in 1913 was 9,232,510 short
tons. valued at sl4,G35090. Compared
with 1912, the returns for 1913 show
decrease Of 1,745,314 tons, or 15.9
per cent, in quantity and of $3.50, ,246,
or 14.13 per cent in value. The
smaller production in 1913, according
to Il. w. Parker of the United States
Geological Survey at Washington, was
due entirely to strike, called on Sep
tember 16 and put into effect a week
later, which reduced the output in the
southern part of the state for the rest
OF the year to about 40 per cent of the
normal. The production in 1918 was
the smallest since 1905. AS in numer-
GUS other instances of labor disaffec-
tton. the trouble in Colorado arose
from a demand for the recognition Of
the union and led to contest which
for bitterness, violence, and bloodshed
has exceeded any similar conflict in
recent history, necessitating first the
state militia and finally the presence
OF federal troops. A condition of war
fare still exists, although mining has
ben resumed with nearly full COM
plement Of men under the protection
OF the federal authorities. Few Of the
mines were entirely idle at any time
during the strike, and although 1924
men (more than 60 per cent Of the av-
erage number employed during the
year, were idle for an average of rs
days each, the average number of
days the mines worked was 229, or
two days more than in 1912, when
production OF practically 100000
tons was mined without single in
stance OF strike or suspension being
reported. The total time lost was
equal to 20 per cent of the time made,
from which it appears that except for
the strike the production for the year
would have amounted to about II, ,5OO,-
900 tons, or within half million tons
Of the maximum record OF 1910. It is
doubtful, however, whether, even If
there had been no interruption by
strikes, the output would have reached
that tonnage or even the record Of
1912, for owing to crop shortage in
adjoining states, there was reduced
demand for BOZ railroad and COM
mercial coal.
The miners. Of Colorado have good
record for efficiency. In 1912 the
average production by each man en-
ployed was S44 tons, and In 1913 it
was 853 tons.
Reports to the Bureau Of Mines
show that there were 10S fatal acct
dents in tie coal mines Of Colorado in
1913, an increase of Is over 1912.

CROP OF s10O,0OO,0Oo
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.
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 TWEEN
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. 115.S per
| cent; South Dakota, 112.S per cent;
North Dakota, 1902 per cent; Iowa.
1902 per cent, and California. 40 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.
Colorado's ten-year period has been
well up to former standards. SO that
her rating means 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 $1O0.0O0,OO0.
Estimates put the corn crop 10 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 $0.755, while
for the last five years 1t has averaged
$0.695 bushel. This means that Col
orados corn crop will be worth about
$s,0OO,oO0.
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 $0962 for the five-year
average to $0.769 for this year.

HOW TO SPRINKLE LAWNS
II Is Not Enough to Water the Surface
Of the Ground-ShouId
Be Soaked.

Sprinkling the lawn is an ever-pres
sing duty during hot, dry summer
and most summers are both hot and
dry. Almost every one who ever
sprinkles lawn feels that he knows
precisely how 1t should be done, but
the United State department of agri.
culture has published bulletin of
directions for scientific sprinkling.
Bad watering, the bulletin says, is
responsible for many poor lawns.
Most persons believe that when they
have moistened the surface of the
ground they have done all that is
necessary. This view is erroneous
The bulletin says that merely to mois-
ten the surface will cause the roots
OF the grass to grow near the top, and
few hot days will dry them up and
kill the grass unless the sprinkling is
regular and continuous.
The best way, according to the ex-
perts Of the department of agriculture,
is to sprinkle on one spot from six to
twelve hours; then on another spot
for the same length OF time and so on
until the whole lawn Is thoroughly
moistened, the sprinkling being SO
slight that not drop of water runs
OFF and is wasted. The water then
sinks down into the soil. the roots go
down after it, and the grass can better
Withstand protracted drought.
There are few persons who sprin-
kle their lawns in this way, but tho
great majority do not. Undoubtedly
there is much bad sprinkling which
does the lawn more harm than good.
Unless good judgment is used In the
time and manner Of sprinkling 1t will
be better not to sprinkle at all. Grass
is persistent and not easily killed, but
as between being scalded to death by
improper watering or scorched to
death by drought there is not much
choice, and the scalding is quite as
effectually deadening as is the scorch-
ing-if not more SO.
