sss, ,ss7.4o FOR COLORADO cRoPs

Smaller Yield This Year VIII Bring
More Money Than In 1915.
Denver-six crops in Colorado ON
Nov. had total value Of s5s.s37, 400.
as compared with . value Of $4O.7S0.-
100 year ago, an increase Of $12,so7.-
64O. according to the governments
crop report for November. The re-
port shows that while the yield Of the
SIX crops in the state this year was
less than last year the increased
prices give the farmers tl2.90S. 400
more for their labor than the larger
crop In 1915.
The department Of agriculture esti-
mated the combined yield Of all crops
In the state this year at 91.s per cent
OF the average yield Of 100 per cent.
This is little larger yield for the
state as whole than was generally
expected and It 10 believed is far
greater than the percentage for the
country as whole.
The corn crop this year Is placed a.
100000 bushels. worth $5.776.0OO.
against 11.2S0.OOO bushels last year,
worth $1.140.000.
Wheat production this year was 49,
$4,000 bushels, against 13.310.000 last
year. but the value this year was $751;
177.400. as compared with $11.34G.6O0
q year ago.
This years production Of oats was
100000 bushels, worth $685., 900. as
compared with 100000 bushels in
1916. worth $5.031.oO0.
The barley crop this year was AGO.
900 bushels. against 4.eso.o00 last
year.
The potato yield In 1916 as given by
the government was 100000 bushels.
as compared with 7.155.ooo bushels
last year. The value Of the 1916 crop
was $8.694. 900. against 33.005. 100 last
year. or almost three times as much.
This year the production Of hay was
1.S29.00O tons. against 2.134.0O0 last
year. or almost three times as much.
The government estimate shows a
big decrease in the apple crop. this
years production being 100000 bar
rels. against final estimate last year
of 693.000 barrels.
