DRY FARMING Is MAKING
MOST EXCELLENT SHOWING

The increase In acreage farmed
without irrigation In Colorado is in
creasing rapidly each year, while there
tivated irrigated acreage In the past
ten years. Reports of county asses
sors to the State Immigration Depart
ment show that approximately 20 per
cent of the wheat grown in the state
this year is irrigated. compared with
51.1 per cent in 1909. as reported by
the census bureau. The irrigated acre
age devoted to wheat has increased
from 174.116 acres in 1909 to 2s7.532
acres in 1920. while the non-irrigated
acreage has increased from 1868
acres to 1.057,235 acres. In 1909 69.7
per cent OF the oats grown in the state
were irrigated. while this year only
4S.1 per cent OF the crop is irrigated.
In 1909 6S.3 per cent of the barley
crop was irrigated. compared with 32.4
per. cent this year. There has been
slight increase In tho percentage
Of the corn crop irrigated. due chiefly
to an increase In the amount OF corn
grown for silage In the irrigated Nis-
tricts. The census bureau found 10
per cent OF the corn crop to be irri.
gated in 1909 and reports of assessors
show 9.5 per cent Of II to be irrigated
this year. There has been very large
increase In the acreage devoted to
sorghums. sudan grass and millet, all
of which are grown almost entirely
