decided to make II number OF changes
in the blanks for next year 1t has
been found that most of the mistakes
made this year resulted from making
entries under the wrong heading. as
the blanks are large and the lines that
must be followed are long. A system
of double line and colored line ruling
Will be followed next year which will
make it easy for assessors and their

both across the blanks and from top to
bottom. 1t has also been found this
year that with the blanks now In use
1t is impossible to obtain accurate in
formation regarding the less import
ant crops, such as tomatoes, garden
peas, flax, snap beans and others that
are grown only In restricted localities.
Special blanks will be furnished next
year for gathering information regard
ing these crops which are grown only
in restricted areas. Reports from all
parts Of the United States indicate that
no state has obtained better result In
the collection Of agricultural statistics
upon the first attempt than Colorado
did this year and an effort will he
made next year to bring the report as
near as possible to perfection. All AS
seasons did excellent work this year
and few Of them obtained AS com

year. because OF the large increase In
acreage cultivated. The increase in
acreage was largest in the ease Of
wheat, and the total production Of
wheat for the state is estimated by
the Colorado Cooperative Crop Re
porting Service at 1884, 900 bushels,
the largest crop on record for the state.
Corn makes Il much poorer showing.
The acreage planted was the largest
ever reported, but reports received by
the Crop Reporting Service Indicate
that only 90 per cent OF the acreage
planted was harvested for grain, which
would indicate Il production OF approx
imately 100000 bushels, or some
thing short Of last years crop. The
production Of oats Is estimated at r.
81, 600 bushels. compared with 6, 938 OD0
bushels last year, the average yield
per acre being in the neighborhOod of
twenty-six bushels, compared with thir-
ty-three bushels the year before. The
average yield OF barley as reported to
the Crop Reporting Service is but
twenty-five bushels per acre this year.
