YEAR BOOK TELLS
OF COLORADO

The State Board of immigration is
anxious to obtain the cooperation of
every section of the state in putting
its advantages before the public, to
the end that its special resources
may be developed as rapidly as pos
sible during period when the ma
tion is in need of maximum output
from all farms, orchards, ranches and
mines. Good photographs are among
the most convincing arguments, es-
pec.ally from the agricultural dis
tricts, and the Board is especially
anxious to obtain good pictures taken
before or during the harvest of the
current crop, which promises to be
one of the best the state has ever pro-
duced.
The Raymer enterprise., 1918-08-01
BY THE
IMMIGRATION BOARD

Preliminary reports received by the
State immigration Bureau from near
ly all sections of the state indicate
hat the value Of crops grown in
Colorado this year will be in excess
of s160, 100000. as compared with
about $91 900, 900, in 1916. Increas.
es over the 1917 crop are indicated
in the wheat, barley, oats, forage and
hay crops and decreases. are almost
certain to be shown in potatoes, sugar
beets and tree fruits. There is ap-
parently slight decrease in the acre
age of alfalfa, but an increase in
acreage of native hay in several sec
tions Of the state. Weather condi-
tions have been favorable for the ma
turing OF the hay crops and the Yield
per acre apparently will be consider
ably greater than for last year, tho
rain during the haying season has
done considerable damage in some
districts. Late rains have improved
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 prom
ise much alrger yield per acre, than
last year.

Hints from Paris That viii Be Use.
full to Women Who Like to Know
What Is Being Worn.

The SILK materials that promise to
nave the greatest vogue are the new
heavy jersey weaves.
We nre promised a revival of lace
for the midsummer dresses. Lace and
taffeta is happy combination that is
prophcsied.
Tulle is 10 have decided place. II
Is used for dress trlmmings-collnrs,
panels, revrrS, etc. 1t Is also ex-
tromply popular for hats.
The eyer-popular serge dress has re-
ceiycd sone variations in the form of
trimming For instance, blue and
white foulard are used with II.
Moire sllk and ribbons of modernst
patterns are promised for the borders
Of tunics and Of panels, maybe. Jet.
too, is to be used largely for trimming.
Collars are promised high with
points and tlallng pieces projecting in
n smart way under the ears But we
have been threatened with high collars
before this. Who shall be brave enough
to say that we must adopt them willy.
nilly?
II will be noticed from all Of the

place of the former change In silhou-
ette which happened from season to

ter all, constitutes the art Of the well.
dressed woman.
One Of the quick ways which have
leaped into fashion for women TO con.
serve wool for the army Is the use Of
short, slim, separate skirt with a
cutaway coat Of yelyeteen, heavily
lined. Women who have such costumes
declare that they viii wear these
skirts with corslet blouses Of soutached
silk and satlr in the spring, thereby
saving cotton for The government.
Hats made of worsted nave already
been replaced by those of satin and
velvet. Entire coat suits made OF
worsted have narrow bias flounces
mounted on taffeta or satin founda-
ton. The short jacket which goes
with these skirts Is so heavily trimmed
with fur and has such Wide waist
coat Of satin or matelasse that II can
be considered bit of camounage.
