CROP REPORT
Joint Report of u. s. and State Ag-
ricultural Departments Out.

Good rains during the latter part
of September greatly improved seed
ing conditions, benefited wheat and
rye that had already been sown, re-
vived pastures, and increased the
yield of late potatoes and sugar
beets, says the joint crop report is
sued by Coleman c. Vaughan, Secre-
tory of State and Verne II. Church,
Field Agent, u. S. Late potatoes
have improved somewhat but the
rains arrived too late to make full
crop. Notwithstanding the extreme
dryness of the season corn is an ex-
cellent crop. Beans are showing
good yields in the main bean counties
of the central and eastern districts.
The average yield of winter wheat
is 1873 bushels as compared with 14.0
bushels last year and a ten-year aver
age of 40 bushels per acre. The
total production is estimated at 49,
$4,000 as compared with 100000
last year. The average yield of
spring wheat is 1910 bushels per acre
as compared with ISL bushels last
year.
Corn is a much better crop than
any since 1910, Notwithstanding the
dry summer and the damage it caused
in some localities The condition is
SO per cent which is equivalent to
81 bushels per acre, or total pro-
duction of 65,159,000 AS 40 per cent
af hn e.
silage purposes, the net grain pro-
duction is placed at 81, $4,000 BUSH
els.
The average yield of oats is 24.4
bushels per acre, giving a total pro-
duction of 3S,040000 bushels which
is the smallest production since 1907.
The condition of buckwheat is rs
per cent, representing total pro-
duction of $4,000 bushels from the
$4,000 acres planted, as compared
with 100000 bushels from $4,000
acres last year
The potato crop shows some i'm
provement since the recent rains, but
only GO per cent of crop is expected.
'Hio iSPiSSchb d plOtuSllOll Oh co.
81, 900 bushels, as compared with
2S,56O,O00 bushels last year.
The indicated yield Of clover seed
is LIP bushels per acre, as compared
with l.5 bushels last year The aver
age is small but the yield and quality
are good
The average yield of beans will be
around IA bushels per acre, the yield
last year being nine bushels. Early
threshing returns shows yield Of
10 bushels, but later returns are ex-
pected to reduce this average. The
crop matured early and a large por-
ton was gathered without rain so
that the quality is excellent.
Tomatoes We're practically a full
crop and the quality was excellent.
Cabbages and unions suffered from
drough and insects; the former shows
an average yield of 7;5 tons and the
latter, 100 bushels per acre.
The apple crop is 81 per cent of
normal as compared with 90 per cent
last year. Grapes were usually fine
in quality and there was practically
a full crop. Pears are 50 per cent of
a crop, two per cent better than last
year

WHY SOCKS HAVE CLOCKS"

sorted, to Hold the Seams
In Hosiery.

II Is surprising how much of the past
still remains. more especially in regard
to the clothes we wear.
On the backs Of most gloves will be
found three thin strips. These marks
correspond 10 the fourchette pieces
between the fingers. In earlier times
gloves were not made so neatly as
they are today. and the stitching of
the fingers was carried down part OF
the way on to the back of the glove,
braid being used 10 conceal the seams
To practically similar reason does
the clock on a sock owe its origin, says
London Answers. In the days when
stockings We're made OF cloth the
seams occurred where the clocks are
now displayed, the decoration being
utilized 20 hide the seams.
The little bow which will invariably

mans hat is a survival of the time
when ha. was made by taking a
piece of leather, boring two holes
through IL and drawing IL together with
a piece of string.
Han6kerchiefs were not always
square. At one time they were shaped
TO the users fancy. II CHANGED that
this irregularity displeased Queen Ma
RE Antoinette, who suggested one win
ter evening at Versailles that uni
form shape would be an indication OF
good taste. The result was decree
by Louis XVI. issued in the early days
OF 1873, enacting that all pocket hand
kerchiefs should have right-angled
edges henceforward.

Best Way to Sell 1t

Nearly everyone has something he
doesn't need that someone else could
use.
1t never occurs to lots of people
to sell such things when they might
just as well turn them into money.
When you havo thing to sell. the
first impulse is to tell someone about
1t.
The more people we tell about a
thing we have to sell the bigger our
chance of selling IL.
Your local newspaper reaches more
people than any other agency in the
county.-So says the Colorado Agri-
