coLoRADO'S WHEAT YIELD
EIGHfEEM MILLION BUSHELS
An Increase Of Over Five Million
Bushels Above Last Years
Big Crop

O0oAOAb AOOV0 A8St xe8TS
Big Crop
Colorado will produce this year
l6.s27.OO0 bushels of wheat. eompar-
ed with q production of $4,000
bushels last year, according to es-
Inmates just completed by the Colo.
RADIO Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service. The production of corn, if
conditions remain favorable until
harvest. will be approximately 49,
$4,000 bushels. compared with 2O,-
$4,000 bushels for 1918.
These estimates are based upon
preliminary acreage figures as COM
piled from reports of county asses
sOrs. and upon the condition of
crops On July l. They indicate the
largest acreage of both corn and
wheat ever grown in the state and
the maximum production of these
crops for Colorado. According to
these figures the area devoted to
corn in the state this year is 985,
acres, compared with $4,000 acres
last year, while the area devoted to
both winter and spring wheat is
l,174,000 acres, compared with q
previous maximum of 100000 acres
for 1918.
Weather conditions were very un-
favorable for all crops in most sec
tiOns of the state during June, and
central counties, where very large
nf
age of the state is found. During
the early part of July showers pre-
vailed over practically the entire
state, so that the condition of some
crops has improved since July l.
These showers did not change the
condition of wheat materially, how
ever, as it was practically made be
fore that date.
The forecast indicates an in
crease in the production of oats and
rye over that of last year and de-
crease for barley The estimated pro
duction of oats is 6,7O3,OO0 bushels;
rye. 100000 bushels, and barley,
4017.00O bushels
The estimated production of pO-
tatoes is 11,73OO0O bushels, the area
devoted to the crop being $4,000
acres, as shown by preliminary com
pilation of assessors reports. There
is decrease in the acreage devoted
to potatoes this year in all CONNER
cial potato producing districts ex-
cept the San Luis valley, which re-
ports an increase and an excellent
condition for the crop. Present in
dicatiOns point to the largest pro-
duction of potatoes in the history
of this valley. The advancement OF
the fruit crop during June. follow
ing the frost on June l, has been
generally satisfactory and the out
look is for crop little better
than the average.

His last bout on the coast was a pip.
Caesar ran second. as usual, but he
wasn't knocked out until the last
round Of the bout
He saved himself in the first round
without the aid OF his seconds. His
opponent sank a right into Caesars

over near the timer.
The referee was busy counting
while holding the daffy opponent
away The fight had gone about two
minutes, and he was up to eight on
his count when clang! went the gong.
There was a terrible roar Every
one was yelling al the same time.
The referee didn't know what to

for the next round. and the time

championship and for the Hugh Chal-

third for the Browns.
Il was just breaking in then and
had been drafted from the Nashville
club" says BrOnkie. recalling the
game. "I'll never forget that after
noon as long as l live because l was
playing third base myself l can see
Larry laying down those bunts just as
il Il happened yesterday. COrriden
would come tearing In from some
where and make an attempt TO field
the ball. All the players were grim

Police Look to Auto
Locks to Check Thefts
Devices of All Sorts Being Sold
to Motorists to Balk
Crnoko

The police are interesting them
selves these days in automobile locks,
and in anything else that promises to
help them in outwitting automobile
thieves. With motor car stealing so
profitable that the thieves are now run
ming highly organized bands, the
thefts have increased to the point Of
becoming a major industry in the
criminal world.
Locks Of every kind are now being
sold to motorists, who are increasing
ly nervous about thefts. Most Of the
locks work on the transmission and
the steering gear.
A new lock of the latter type which
has just entered the New York market
is the F. O. B. combination, built with
the idea that crooks may pick lock,
but that they will pass by q car locked
with a combination like those on safes
and vaults.
There is no space to apply the safe
crackers "soup," or nitro -glycerine, to
the F. 0. b. lock, and it would be rath-
er hopeless to try it anyway, because
Blast strong enough to break the
lock would also damage the car be
yond repair The F. O. b. lock is
closed by twirlng dial on heavy
alumni steel block that is fixed on the
steering column. This pushes thicl
bolt into the movable parts and holds
the wheels in a straight line, so steer
ing is impossible.
To unlock the F. O. B. the car own
er turns the dial to the right three
number combination, and the bolt il
withdrawn, releasing the wheels.
!. Tests were made on the F. 0. B. loci
by the Underwriters Laboratories be
fore it was officially approved. Thes,
!, showed, according to the Underwriters
report, just made public, that, in thei1
language: 1T is practically impossible
J to use a Stillson wrench, hammer, cole
chisel or hacksaw on the f. O. B. loci

The E. s. Partridge Company, Inc.

the Liberty Motor Car Company as the
distributing headquarters in the coun-

new Liberty six closed models. The

New York is the biggest market for

most critical buyers Of closed cars. AL
ways having specialized in closed
models, the Liberty company this year
was determined to get the new cars to
New York at the earliest moment, and
the result is this early display of two
exceptional models. So swiftly did the
