Denver.-Wheat, oats, barley and
potatoes in Colorado will exceed the
1914 production for the period ending
the last of August, according to fig
ures compiled by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates working in co operation
with the United States Weather Blu
reau.
The August crop report shows that
the preliminary estimate for the win
ter wheat production is 6970,000 bush
els, while the final figure for 1914 was
6,250,OOO. Spring wheat, in 1914, was
100000 bushels, compared with g.
100000 for this year.
The forecast Aug. 1 for oats is 49,
100000 bushels, compared with the
same figure for 1914. Barley has in
creased from 100000 bushels to g.
100000. Potatoes have increased from
S,760,000 bushels to S,94O,000.

partment Of agriculture has determined
what is the best formula. Mr.. Smith
gives ii. together with the method of
application. as follows:
Twenty-Five pounds of wheat bran.
Coarse faxed bran is better than fine.
One pound of paris green. Mix the bran
and paris green thoroughly in their dry
state. Dilute two quarts Of cheap mo-
lasses with three and a half gallons of
water. Grind up six oranges or lemons
and add TO the molasses and water. Add
the liquid TO tho bran and paris green
and mix thoroughly. Add enough more
water if necessary so that in squeezing
the bran YOU can barely feel the water
start. The fruit should never be added
to the mixture until just before appli-
cation.
The maximum killing can only be OBJ
tanned by applying the bait between
and $50 clock in the morning, that
is, it should be on the field by $50. Sow
the bait broadcast in strips 10 or Is
feet apart over the field to he treated.
The bait may re safely applied to all
crops and pasture areas when sown
broadcast as above mentioned This
amount of poisoned bait should treat
approximately four TO five acres. 1t
probably viii be necessary to follow up
the first application with another on
the morning of the fifth day if 90 per
cent mortality or more has not been
obtained from the first application. Tn
der certain conditions it may even be
necessary to treat the field third
time to kill % per cent or more of the
grasshoppers.
The damage from the grasshopper
pest win not cease until late in August
so the farmers ought not to relax their
efforts in this warfare.

A Long War Ahead.

Up to the present, as far as we
can find out, Germany has suffered
some three million casualties. She can
suffer another three million, and, for
aught we know, another three million
after that. We have no reason to be
lieve that she will break up suddenly
and dramatically, as a few people still
expect. Why should she? She took two
generations to prepare herself in every
detail, and through every fibre of her
national being for this war. She is
playing for the highest stakes in the
world-the dominion of the world It
seems to me that she must either win
or bleed to death almost where her
lines run today. Therefore, we and our
