TRREsAING CAMPAIGN
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
THROUGHOUT COLORADO

In spite of the fact that rain has de.
layed the threshing Of wheat and
other grains very materially, the Colo
rado Food Administration feels that
the threshermen throughout the state
are exerting every effort possible to
put through the 1918 threshing pro-
gram. Various county threshing com.
mittees have been extremely jealous
in attending to the details which make
for the success Of any campaign.
Never before have the thresher-
men paid 30 much attention to the
efficiency Of their machines" declared
Howard F. Crocker, chairman of the
Threshing Division, "and We feel that
the threshermen are working together
faithfully to save, to the utmost de.
gree every particle of grain possible"
Headquarters are attaching great i'm.
portance to the reports which the
threshermen are turning in weekly to
the County Threshing Committees. II
is upon the accuracy and care with
which these reports are filled out that
the success Of the threshing campaign
depends, because statistics, thus gath
cred. will form basis for crop esti.
mates in future years.
Instructions from Washington ash
for reports. not only upon the thresh.
Ing OF wheat and other grains. but up-
on feed grains. fodder and other crops
threshed.
