He is a thorough-going American

Preliminary reports received by
nearly all sections Of the state indi-
cate that the value of crops grown in
Colorado this year will be In excess
of S160,0oO,ooo, as compared with
about s91,0Oo,ooo in 1916. In
creases over the 1917 crop are indi-
Gated in the wheat, barley, oats, for
age and hay crops and decreases are
almost certain to be shown in pota-
toes, sugar beets and tree fruits.
there IL apparently slight decrease
ir the acreage Of alfalfa. but an in
cre,se In acreage Of native hay In
several section Of the state. Weather
conditions have been favorable for
the maturing Of the hay crops and
the yield per acre apparently will be
considerably greater than for last
year, tho rain durins the haying sea-
son has done considerable damage In
some districts. Late rains have I'M
proved the condition Of spring wheat
and oats and the yield per acre, II
favorable conditions prevail during
harvest, Will be considerable above
the average. Pinto beans and similar
crops promise a much larger yield
per acre, than last year.
The State Board of immigration
Is anxious to obtain the cooperation
Of every section Of the state In put
ting its advantages before the public.
to the end that its special resources
may be developed as rapidly Us pos
sjble during period when the nation
is in need Of = maximum output from
all farms. orchards, ranches and
mines. Good photographs are among
the most convincing arguments, espe-
cially from the agricultural districts
and the board is especially anxious to
obtain good pictures taken before or
during the harvest Of the current cror
which promises to be one Of the best
the state has ever produced.
II Thomas lyman lands the nom-
ination In the Democratic primnr-
les this fall, for governor, he will do
more than any other one thing to
prove that the State Assembly is r
delusion and a snsre-and decidedly
a farce. Furthermore. he will have
established a precedent by reversing
the heretofore unreversed decision
Of the State Assembly. Those who
have made study Of It say that thir
can't be done. Mr.. lyman drew but

There is much complaint because the
government is exercising its authority
to keep down the price of beans by
forcing them on the open market in
about the quantities needed for daily
consumption, and is at the same time
permitting the handlers Of other pro-
ducts to manipulate the markets by
Withholding their products. 1t is
claimed that the ~manipulators of dress
ed meats and the side products of the
packers, dairy products when control
ed by the so-called butter trust, sugar
and similar articles are increasing in
price beyond the increase permitted
to the bean grower. This is unfair. of
course, and will undoubtedly be regu-
lated in time.

1t is announced from FL Paso that
the state will construct a road from
Alamogordo to the Texas line, receiv-
ing a bonus Of eight thousand dollars
from the citizens of Ell Paso. The
road is to be dirt, and the sand is to
be scraped, in the same manner as the
sandy parts of the P~ortales road to
the south. This road will open direct
communications between the eastern
part of the state and FL Paso, and will
prove of great benefit to that city. 1t
is expected that the county of FL Paso
will soon construct a cement road be-
tween FL Paso and the line to con-
meet with the New Mexico road.
