WHEAT ACREAGE MUCH
LESS so PAR THIS FALL
Growing Conditions, However, Have
Been Generally Favorable, As to
Moisture and for Flowing.

Continued dry weather for the
past month has been somewhat
unfavOrable for fall plOwing and
the planting of winter wheat and
rye. The planting of these crops is
practically complete and in most
districts there has been sufficient
moisture to bring the grain up
partially. Farmers report that lit
tie damage has been suffered by
these crops SO far, and good rains
in the next week or two will bring
them up in the fine shape The
acreage planted evidently is con-
siderably short of that planted last
fall, though detailed reports on
planting have not yet been gather
ed by the state cooperative crop
reporting service. Preliminary re-
ports also Indicate that the
amount of fall plowing so far done
this year is considerably short of
that done at this time last year.

never before been done in Colorado,
for the reason that heretofore it

now furnished by county assessors
and reports are available for every
agricultural county in the state.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS OF
GREAT PRACTICAL BENEFIT
Experience Gained by Boys in PRO.
ject' Form Of Teaching Adds
Much Interest.


The farm project method of teach.
ing agriculture, while vet new, is
proving q very successful way of
ilnparting agricultural knowledge
to high school students. There are
q few essentials which must be in
volved in project to make it sue
cessful. 1t must cover a period of
time long enough to complete a
piece of work, for example, if it is
raising corn, all operations neces-
sary for corn production should be
involved: it must be financially
profitable: it must involve close
study OF, as well as performance of
special operations: the student
should have direct management OF
the project under competent super
vision.
Projects can be grouped under
three heads: L. Productive pro
jects, as growing crop, producing
meat, or animal products for the
purpose Of increasing production.
2. Experimental projects, which
involve the production of an un-
tried variety OF crop; feeding an
untried ration: or soil manage
McHl. ,. lmpfOVemenC projects
which have to do with improving
appearance and convenience OF q
farm or farlnstead They involve
cement work, repair of buildings
or fences, painting, setting out
trees and shrubs, arrangement of
fields and buildings and building
entrance gates to farms.
The project gives the boy or girl
frst-hand information through ex.
perience. He has the actual expert.
ence of doing actual farm work un.
der farm conditions In many in.
stances the boy through his pro.
ject has been the means OF his
father adopting better live stock OF
better farming methods. 1t gives
the boy an opportunity to meet
the real problem which he must
face later when ne becomes farm
