COYOTES NOT AS SPEEDY
AS DOGS, is CLAIM

Ernest Thompson says: THE speed
of the coyote is great, and has often
been the subject of admiring comment
but think that it has been over-rated.
After collecting data of various kinds,
such as actual known records of dogs
and hares, or horses and foxes,
horses and hounds, hounds and auto
mobiles, l have attempted q scale of
comparative speeds-A blooded race
horse has covered a mile in / minute,
35 seconds; prong-horned antelope,
l:50; first-cIass greyhound, 2; jack
ern coyote, 2:30; foxhound, 2:40;
American wolf, 8. Many hunters
would set the kit fox or swift above
the greyhound, especially for a short
race, but ! have had no persoanl ex-
perience with the species in a chase
The little prairie cottontail can, be-
lieve, get away from the swift in a
hundred yard dash; they cannot keep
it up for long, but their initial velocity
is Incredible and battles the eye. Not
leg, not a rabbit is to be seen; no.
thing but a white streak across the
prairie, till it promptly disappears in
some burrow. What really counts in
the race is, Us usual, the trife more
speed that each animal can command.
For example, the grey wolf makes
6o4 yards to the minute and the coy
ote about TOO. But that so yards
makes all the difference between liv-
ing and dying. That so yards mar
gin is probably the foothold on which
the whole coyote race has been built
up."

CROP PROSPECTS GENERALLY
GOOD IN COLORADO

The production of wheat in Colorado
this year will be ls,049,o0 bushels,
according to the September forecast
just issued by the State Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service. This is the
largest production ever recorded in
this state. the previous record being
that of 1918. 13,536,000 bushels. This
big increase in output of wheat is
the result of a very heavy increase
in acreage planted, the total reported
by county assessors being close to
/, 100000 acres, or nearly 100000
more acres than reported for any
previous year. Weather conditions
have been exceptionally unfavorable
for the crop, so that very consider
able percentage of the acreage plant
ed was not harvested and the yield
per acre on that harvested was very
low.
a falling off of nearly 1000 900
bushels in production of corn for state
is indicated as result of dry wealth
er late in the season. The condition
of the corn crop is found to be only
62 per cent of normal, which indicates
a production on approximately 900,-
900 acres devoted to the crop, of
13 $50 900 bushels compared with a
production of 20,5s5, 900 bushels on
ss5 900 acres last year. Acreage plant
ed this year is the largest on record.
There has also been a sharp deterio-
ration in the condition of potatoes
since the August report was issued
and the Indicated production is now
10 ,59S 900 bushels. The damage was
most severe in the north-central and
northeastern parts Of the state, where
irrigated potatoes suffered heavily.
