GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Inquiries made by the state immi-
grafton department throught county
assessors show 2 very rapid increase
in the number of farm tractors owned
and operated by farmers themselves
in the more important agricultural
counties in the state. The reports
made by county assessors early this
year indicated that there were approx
imately $500 such farm tractors in
the state on April /, and later reports
from dealers show that the number is
now perhaps 1000 greater that the
assessors showed. Most of the tract
ors reported are in the prairie section
in the northeast part of the state and
something of the extent to which tract
or farming is carried on here may be
gathered from the number of tractors
Weld county reports 365 on April /,
Washington county 1888; Logan county
225; Phillips county, 146; Sedgwick
county, 107; Adams county, 1872 and
Arapahoe county, 126. The introduc-
tion of the tractor in this section of
Colorado has been one of the most i'm
portant factors in increasing the acre
age under cultivation here by more
than $50 per cent in the past ten years.
Reports compiled by the state immi-
grafton department from the records
of the state tax commission show that
the area of farm land reported for
assessment this year is 26,574 POI
acres, compared with 25, 5,l29,943 acres
last year. Most of the increase is in
the acreage of dry farming land, which
assessors now report as 1852, 1872
acres. There is also a slight increase
in irrigated land, the area reported this
year being 2.22O,739 acres, compared
with 2.144,617 acres last year. One
of the largest increases in dry farming
land is in Kit Carson county, where
several hundred thousand acres form
crly classed as grazing land is put in
to the dry farming column. There is
slight decrease in the acreage OF
grazing land reported, there being a.
1913 .529 acres reported this year, COM
pared with 14,129, ,3O7 acres last year.
Reports received by the immigration
department from all sections Of the
state indicate that the population Of
Colorado is now approximately l,lOO,-
600, an increase of about 3S per cent
in the past ten years. The census
bureau found the population Of the
state-in 1910 to be 799 .024. an increase
of 4s per cent over that for the pre-
ceding ten years. The increase in the
decade just ending is confined largely
70 the agricultural districts and is
greatest in the non-irrigated sections
Of eastern Colorado.

ICE, FOOD PROBLEMS
BEFORE COUNCIL
Increased Price OF Former
and Unsanitary Keeping
OF Latter Discussed
INVESTIGATIONS
MAY BE ORDERED

City Solicitor Huxley and his as
sistsnt George NJ. Davis, informed
members OF City Council last night,
during a recess OF that body. that if
| WilmingtOnians, who are given short
weight ice. would complain TO the
proper authorities, arrests Of those
giving short weight would follow. Mr..
Huxley says laws on the statute books
provide ample penalty in such cases.
This statement was made after Pres
ident Lyon and City Councilman Alb
rahams reported that a Mr.. Prettyman,
OF Eighth and Franklin streets. had re-
ported purchasing three pieces OF ice
at a station Of the Wilmington Ice
Company which was supposed TO
weigh fifty pounds each. These weighed
90. 30 and 80 pounds-or SO pounds in
all whereas he had paid for $50 pounds,
IF man pays for % pounds OF ice
and he doesn't get % pounds, no Or
dinance is needed, for the case can be
handled in the City Court" declared
Assistant City Solicitor Davis.
The ice question, which came up
during the recess was one Of many dis
cussed, the Councilmen holding the re-
cess TO ask City Solicitor Huxley TO as
certain what action the city could take
10 stop ice dealers from raising the
price Of ice and grangers from setting
the price on farm products in the street
markets. 10 was also said that store
keepers in King street markets should
be compelled TO cover their food pro-
ducts.
Relative 10 the fee question Council
man Kane said that he had
uroof that the local ice com
panies had enough stored ice to last
the family trade the remainder Of The
summer. He. therefore, thought the
price boost was uncalled for. 10 was
suggested that Wilmer Stradley, Of the
Diamond Ice and Coal Company be sum
moned TO appear before Council and
produce his books in support Of his
statement that the increase i'm the price
Of ice is justified. Mr.. Huxley said he
would see II Mr.. Stradley could be Or
dered 20 appear before Council.
10 was also asserted by the Council
men that when Mr.. Stradley was seek
ing permission to erect ice stations in
the city, he declared the price of fee
would not be raised above A5 cents per
Dhb IAillAfh HVunN1s ClllNt lllO UIAIt
had been increased beyond that figure
IL was suggested that the city revoke
the permits It had issued through the
inspectors office for these
frame stations for the ice company.
President Lyon said that while Mr.
Stradley had denied yesterday that he
had said the price Of ice would not be
raised here, It was a matter Of veracity
between Mr.. Stradley and the Council
men. Councilman Abberger, said that
Mr.. Stradley had stated at his tAb-
berger's home) that the price OF ice
would not be increased.
Mr.. Huxley said that while the fee
companies were clsmOring for people
to conserve fee, the man who delivers
his fee had refused TO allow him TO re
duce his order, the driver declaring
that he was compelled TO take more ice
than he needed or none at all. Mr.. Ly-

LOSSES HEAVY
All Crops Are Damaged by
Eight Day Rain,
They Say
WILL HAVE TO FIGHT
WEEDS AND GRASS

LAUREL, July 25.-For twelve con-
secutive days, previous to yesterday,
rain has fallen here, bringing all farm
work TO a standstill. while weeds and
grass are ravishing fields of corn and
truck. Farmers claim It Is the worst
and most distressing time they have
ever known. Owing TO the water
soaked condition Of the soil II VIII be
several days before they can work in
the fields.
The most conservative among the
large truckers are authority for the
statement that all crops are damaged
to at least thirty per cent. and most Of
them fear that watermelOns have been
practically killed or drowned out. As
many as flfty-eight carloads Of water
melons have been shipped from Laurel
station in one day, and owing 10 the
tremendous prices received for melons
last year. the acreage planted this year
was twice as large as that Of any pre-
vious year, consequently the expected
losses are staggering.
CantalOupes, sweet potatoes, tOma-
toes and corn are other crops that have
suffered greatly. In many fields the
grass and weeds are higher and thicker
than the growing crops and have
smothered them out.
Serious damage has also been done
fruit by the almost incessant rains.
The damp condition OF the orchards
has enabled various varieties OF fungi
TO develop, and the same conditions
have caused all manner OF tree and
fruit pests to propagate and to get
in their deadly work. Orchardists have
not been able 60 combat these assaults
with spraying and other means Of de-
fense.

solution to the Ice question was a
municipal ice plant
When the conference began the
Councilmen informed Solicitor Huxley
that they wish to secure his opinion
as to Just what power Council has to
regulate existing market conditions.
Mr.. Murray declared something should
be done TO compel the dealers on King
street against exposing their meats to
flies an ddust. Mr.. Huxley stated there
is already ample law TO compel the
dealers to screen the food. lie pointed
out, however, that whatever action Is
taken. will have to be taken through
the Street and Sewer Department as
that body has entire jurisdiction over
the street markets.
Acting Mayor Lyon wished 10 know
II anything could be done to keep the
grangers from fixing the prices for food
in the city markets The City Solicitor
stated he was not prepared to submit
an opinion at that time, but would
look into the matter and would let
Council know just how far it can so.
In reply to Mr.. Mearns he reiterated
the statement Council has no direct
authority over the street markets and
whatever action is taken Will have TO
be done through the medium Of the
Street and Sewer Department.
Solicitor Huxley promised the Coun-
cilmen to look up the law relating 10
the street markets and to advise that
