BUMPER CROPS IN
STATE ASSURED
RESPONSE TO APPEAL FOR
WAR FOODS.
Harvest From Farms and Orchards
Now Estimated at S130,0OO,O0O
Exceeds 1916 by 40 Per Cent,
Says Immigration Bureau.

Reports coming to the Colorado
state board of immigration from all
parts of the state, together with the
detailed reports of the bureau of crop
estimates of the department of agri-
culture, indicate that the crops grown
in Colorado this year will be worth in
the neighborhood of 40 per cent more
than those of 1916. The value of Colo
radios 1916 agricultural output was
the largest on record to that date.
These reports are based upon es-
Inmates of yields of principal crops as
made by the bureau of crop estimates,
and prices at the market time, as indi-
Gated by present prices, price tenden-
cies and in some instances the prices
which certain products are now bring
ing for future delivery. It is safe to
say that, unless some unforeseen and
unprecedented damage occurs at this

Magnificent.

The convention edition of The Den
yer Labor Bulletin was magnificent
publication, consisting of fifteen sec
tions of eight pages each, making in
all one hundred and twenty pages. 1t
is the largest issue of a Western la
Dor paper Paradox ever saw. 1t is a
work of art, the printing all first class,
the arrangement with full accord as
to place, color and subject The fact
that organized labor in Colorado can,
thru its Typographical representatives,
give issue to such a publication,
speaks volumes not only for the enter
prise but for the intelligence of the
body. Certainly Houston and Hines,
the publishers, need not blush at the
many complimentary notices received,
for they well deserve every one of
them and then some. Advertising,
beautiful halftones, inspiring write
ups, all of these contained within the
pages. Florence and her industries,
were given column, the most of
which correctly portrays the condition
existing.
Here's to the editors and publisher
May their shadows never grow less,
and may this issue be but the fore
runner of an even more magnificent
one a year hence.-Florence (Colo.)

OF course the yields will not be 40
per cent greater than last year, since
much of the increase in value is due
to higher prices. There is increased
production, however, of almost all
crops. The states fruit crop this year
will be very close to the high record.
bean crop shows the greatest increase,
being BAT per cent greater in acreage
than last year. This is due principally
to the large increase in acreage de-

that European neutral was contem-

regarded 1t as another effort, backed

All administration officials from the

not now desire war with Germany but
is being forced into it to protect lives
and rights of its citizens against un-
lawful aggression.
Unless Germany is prepared COM

national crisis precipitated by events
of which we heard this afternoon, the
national conference committee of rail-
roads join with you in the conviction
that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the
efficient operation of the railroads of
the country will be hampered or i'm
paired. Therefore you are authorized
to assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the commit
tee of the Council of National De-
fense to grant to the employees who
are about to strike whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces-
sary to guarantee uninterrupted and
efficient operations of the railroads
as an indispensable arm of national
defense"
The decision reached by the man.
