Final estimates by the State Co
operative Crop Reporting Service on
the total production of potatoes in
Colorado this year apparently will
show a considerable increase in the
output over the S,096.0O0 bushels indi-
Gated by the Octoter estimate.
Though it is yet too early to give def
mite figures. 1t now appears that the
production will be above 10.O00.0O0
bushels, and perhaps as high as H.
100000 bushels. This is still con-
siderably short of the normal produc-
ton of this crop in Colorado. the sea-
son having been very unfayorable in
the north-central part of the state,
which is the principal potaro-growing
district. In the non-irrigated dis
potato acreage for this year is re-
ported, the crop was very short as a
result of continued dry weather. be-
ing almost total failure in some sec
tions. On the Western slope and in
the San Luis valley. weather condi-
tions were generally favorable and the
crop is but little short of normal The
commercial production apparently
will be close to 10000 carloads. COM
pared with 1880 carloads last year.
The average yield apparently will be
some place between 100 and 100 bush
els an acre.

WIDENING Of
STREETS, PLAN
OF PATTERSON
Biz Traffic Change Forecast
by Commissioner,

Plans for widening several streets
leading to the business district OF Ok
lahona City as well as other sweep
ing changes in handling traffic are
being made by Joe Patterson, com
missioner Of public property.
He announced today that he has IN
strueted the city forester. J. A. Mad.
dox 10 make a thorough survey OF
the business streets leading into the
heart OF the city and report as soon
as possible that necessary laws ana
ordinances may be passed.
"a great part OF our traffic trouble
has been caused By the narrow streets
near the business district Mr.. Pat
terson said. Especially Is this true
OF Robinson. Hudson, Harvey aud
other narrow streets where it is
scarcely possible for cars to pass
one another, and no chance to park.
"Tbe resul, is that an unusually
large number OF cars have TO be
parked in the business streets causing
traffic congestion that could easily
be done away with.
A zone will be created by Mr.. Pat
,erson, he said, which will include all
streets within radius OF ten or twelve
blocks. A thorough survey will be
made OF these streets and iniorma-
tion gained as to how much can be
added to the width OF the street
proper by slicing off parking along
the sidewalks and running the street
back toward the property lines.
Shade trees are not especially
needed in the near business district
so the widening Of the streets will
not interfere with the shade PROPOSE
tion. he said,
As soon as the report is made by
the forester estimations OF the cost
Of the work will be made Mr., Patter-
son said.
