very dry during March making it nee

18th when the temperature dropped
to 81 degrees. However. no damage
was done to crops except for certain
areas where apples. especially those
on low ground. were frosted and We're
almost a total loss. The fall was un-
usually late with excellent weather for
maturing crops The first frost occur

appearance and commenced to spread
rapidly over the project. As soon as
the farmers learned what the disease
was a. meeting was called with repre-
senatives of the department of agricul-
ture and the state agriculture college,
with local veterinarians and county
agents. Steps were taken to control
the disease. with the result that ap-
proSimately 5000 hogs, located on 1S5
farms were vaccinated and the disease
brought under control. A large num-
ber of hogs were shipped from Olathe
very successfully under cooperative
arrangements, Several cooperative
shipments were made of old cows

pared with 52,717 acres cropped in 1916
on 1902 farms, S09 of which were
farmed by the owners and 5s3, or
42.3 per cent by tenants. The de-
crease in percentage farmed by ten
ants was due to purchase of farms
by tenants and te increased profits
on te smaller farms making farming
appear more desirable to the owners.
The increased interest in live stock
has also tended to increase the num-
ber of farms operated by the owners.
The season of 1918 was an excellena
one for alfalfa, beans, sugar beets,
oats onions and wheat. 1t was fair
for apples and potatoes. In general
the prices received for all crops were
good. The following tabulation gives
a comparison of crops. acreage, yields
and values per acre for the years 1917
and 1918.

Labor-The farmers of the project
were put to great inconvenience due
a shortage of labor and the cost of
raising the crops was increased con-
siderable over previous years. Farm
labor was paid s45 to $50 per month
with board and SIS and $50 per month
without board. Day labor in the har
vest fields was paid $500 to $500 per
day; potato pickers received and 1oc
per sack; apple pickers per box.

neither plentiful or efficient There
may have been a slight loss of grow
ing crops on account of shortage of
labor but the principal loss to the
project was on account of the acreage
in crops not being increased as much
as it would have been had labor been
more plentiful.
Crops-A total of 57,309 acres were
cropped on 1914 farms, 949 of which
were farmed by the owners and 565

There was a considerable increase
in the avreage of corn, with about
normal crop. There was a slight de-
crease in the acreage of oats planted.
with a material increase in yield.
After the experience of the farmers
with potatoes in the spring of 1918. it
was anticipated the acreage would be
considerably reduced but it was in
creased by over ten per cent. The
stand Of potatoes was poor and there
was a large percentage of second
grade potatoes, which could not be
marketed. As was to be expected, the
acreage of wheat was increased over
25 per cent.
The total acreage cropped was in
creased from 52,7l7 to $1,000. The
average yields per acre were almost
identical, s57.62 as compared with $751;

The first cutting of alfalfa maturei
earlier than usual. which made IT
possible for many of the farmers to
obtain fourth cutting. The result
was an increase in the average yields
from 2.S to 3.3 tons per acre.
The apple crop as a whole was
lighter than in 1917 Many of the
orchards especially those on low land
under the Chipeta, produced no apples
on account of spring frosts. while
other orchards produced normal crops.
The price received was considerable
higher than in 1917. Only about two
thirds of the acreage of beans was
was planted as in 1917, but owing to
the better soil in which they were
planted and the better cultivation re-
ceived, they produced a much larger
yield than in 1917. The acreage of
sugar beets decreased and the yield in
creased materially Owing to the in
crease in the price, the returns aver
aged over 800 per acre.

a large percentage of the 1917 pota-
to crop was held until the spring of
1918. partly on account of lack of cars
and partly on anticipation of higher
prices. In February the situation be-
came very alarming to the farmers and
several attempts were made by the
service to cooperate with the potato
growers and place bids with the Quar-
termaster Generals office to supply
potatoes to environments. The bids
were rejected and were again sub

thru the efforts of the Washington
office the Quartermaster Generals de
partment was prevailed upon to pur
chase locally approximately 100 cars OF
potatoes The price. however, de
creased rapidly and fell to 80 and soc

of 1918 was excellent and the greater
portion of the crop was shipped direct
from the fields over 800 cars of early

to S1,25 per cwt. and the situation was

The question of more storage es
pecially at the track, was aggitated
by the service and some of the farm
ers with the result that a warehouse
was built at Minoken by the farmers
of that vicinity, after the Water Users
Association had rejected the policy
of the project cooperating with the
farmers in constructing track storage.
The Montrose Ice Cream factory has
moved into a new building and is do
ing a large business. The business
of the Montrose creamery and of the
cheese factory at Delta increased
greatly during the year. The West
ern Slope fair was held at Montrose
on September 1920 with the usual
success. A radium sampling works
was completed and put in operation
at Montrose.

Farmers reported 1856 brood sows
for 1919 season. as compared with
1870 for 1918 season and 1858 for
1917 season. Range cattle and sheep
we're included only when owned by
project farmers and wintered on the
project. Detailed examination of the
results shows that there were 59tT
sheep on the farms as compared with
1926 in 1918. The decrease in range
sheep owned by the project farmers
was due to several sales made to
parties not living on the project.
Improvcments-A number of hollow
tile silos were built during the season
and more than ordinary amount Of
farm improvements were completed
in spite Of the high cost of labor and
materials. The total value of improve
