BIG WHEAT CROP
Lamar Territory Begins Threshing Of
The Biggest Wheat Crop in
Its History.

The year 1919 will break all Prov
ers county records for wheat crops, as
the acreage is by far the largest ever
planted here, and the first returns
show the yield will be all that the
most enthusiastic expected. Every
where throughout the miles and miles
of the irrigated area can be seen the
shocks Of wheat standing so thick on
the ground that IL there had been any
more Of it the farmer would have had
to rent some Of his neighbor's ground
to stack it on. The threshing machines
are now busily at work but only few
fields have been finished and it is i'm
possible to get exact reports. but the
daily runs show that it is making all
and more than was expected. The
Hayes Williams wheat went over for
ty-five bushels per acre and he was
not expecting nearly SO much as he
did not think his field was more than
an average one. The crop will soon
be rolling into the markets now and it
should. at the government fixed price,
soon make a difference in the amount
of money in circulation in this terri
tory. The crop on the dry lands is
also being harvested and is said to be
promising good results also.

OPEN KANSAS CITY OFFICE
Denver Alfalfa Milling K Products Co
Will Open Sales Office in the
Big Market City.

With fifteen large alfalfa mills in
Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico
turning out by far the largest product
of alfalfa meal of any company in the
world the officers of :he ID. A. Nj. & r.
Co., of Lamar, have decided to open
an office in Kansas City for the hand
ling of the sales department of the
business. Mr.. w. b. Wood will be in
charge of the office there.
The alfalfa meal industry which ia
rapidly becoming the corner stone of
the great mixed feed industry of the
country was created by the ID. A. NJ.
& p. Co, and this company has al
ways been the leaders both in pro-
duction and in creating a market for
it. In fact it is through the persist
ent and intelligent advertising on the
part of the officers of this company
that the feeders both for dairy and
meat production have been Induced to
experiment with the alfalfa product,
and an experiment always meant a
permanent user. Through :hc.r mag
azine, "Mealology." and many other
means they have kept alfalfa meal and
mixed feeds with it as the basis be
fore the feeders in season and out of
season until the alfalfa hay which
could easily be contracted ut So per
ton delivered at the mill, when they
first began operations, now is the
staple dairy feed of the country and
brings anywhere from SIS to the sky
limit right in the fields. While there
have been many contributing causes
the unceasing efforts of the officers
OF this company and the merit of thu
product are the main reasons for thia
rapid growth in popularity.
The Arkansas valley and especial
ly Prowers county as the greatest al
falfa section Of the country has bee1
the center of the company's activities
-snd the greatest beneficiary Of the
growth in popularity Of the alfalfa
products.
Prowers county alone as the produc-
or Of over 100000 tons Of alfalfa has
profited over million dollars year
for the. past three or four years by
the big increase in price of alfalfa.
More than half the company's crop OF
alfalfa is ground by the alfalfa mills
Of the county. about half Of which arc
owned by the one company. As the
alfalfa crop alone represents in total
value almost 40 per cent Of the eoun-
ty's yearly production, the boosting OF
its value is the most material assist
ance that can be rendered the farmers
or the business men Of this territory
In fact the boost in price Of alfalfa
since the meal industry started exceeds
the total value Of the county's two
next leading crops.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the d. A. NJ. & p. Co. was
held at their head office in Lamar last
Friday, and after hearing the report
of the operations for the past year the
directors were reelected, and the old
officials retained. Senator F. r. Wood
Of Trinidad is president; F. NJ. Wilson
vice president and general manager;
and r. +. Nye, secretary.

the area devoted to grain surghums.
(milo, kafir, feterita, etc.) in Colorado
this year to be 255,l4S acres. 1t is
estimated that final figures will bring
this total close to 275,000 acres. The
area devoted to sweet sorghums
(canes) is 96,277 acres, with enough
unreported to bring the total well
above 100000 acres. This makes an
area of approximately @75,O00 acres in
the state devoted to sorghums for for
age purposes and for grain, an acre
age considerably greater than it has
been thought heretofore was given up
to these crops. The acreage of millet
so far reported is 1855 acres, and
of Sudan grass, 20,275 acres. These
crops are grown largely in the eastern
part of the state.

2ll farms in the state, with a total
area of l2,388,97O acres. The reports
are not yet complete and the farm

considerably above that given. as many

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Reports made to the State lmmigra-
ton Department by county assessors,
with two counties unreported and sew
eral counties yet incomplete, show
that the area in cultivation in Colorado
this year is 1920 ,765 acres. Complete
reports will raise this by not less than
200 900 acres. This exclusive of 216,-
1902 acres of land devoted to wild hay,
which has often been reported as cul-
tivated land In this connection 1t
should be born in mind that the total
acreage in cultivation in 1909, as re-
ported by the Census Bureau, was p
6l4 4,3l2 acres, including wild hay. As
SCISSORS reports also show total Of
36s. $50 acres of raw land broken for
crops this year, including that broken
for winter wheat last summer and FALL.
Complete reports will raise this figure
to 4OO, 900 or more, perhaps the larg-
est acreage of raw land ever broken
any year in the history Of the state.
