COLORADO CROP NEWS
BEANS AND POTATOES

Reports received by the Colorado
Cooperative Crop Reporting Service
from the Crop Reporting Board Of
the United States Bureau of Crop
Estimates how that there will be a
slight shortage in the acreage de-
voted to potatoes in the principle
late potato producing states this
year and very material reduction
in the acreage devoted to dry beans
for market, provided the farmers
do not revise their plans for plant
ing these crops. in some states
there is ample time for such revis-
ion Of plans on both of these crops.
These reports show that, accord
ing OF the intentions of growers on
May l, the area to be devoted to
beans in the five principle bean pro-
ducing states this year is 706,7
acres, compared with 1,0O2,000
acres last year, or about II %. The
indicated acreage this year and the
acreage harvested last year, by
states, is as follows: New York, 9O,-
900 acres this year, 100000 last
year michigan, 237,5OO acres, 31O,-
900 acres; Colorado 44,s5O acres,
$4,000 California, $4,000 acres,
$4,000 acres; New Mexico, 1922
400 acres, 12S,O00 acres. The acre
age in California is of all varieties,
including Limas. In that state there
will apparently be much lnrger de-
crease in the acreage devoted to
other varieties of beans than that
devoted to Limas. Last year the
area devoted to Limas was about
$4,000 acres and 263,000 acres to
other varieties. The percentage of
acreage this year as compared with
acreage last year by states, are as
follows: New York 90; Michigan, IS;
Colorado, 65; New Mexico 80; Calf
ornia, go. In California the acre
age to be devoted to Limas will APP
parently be 900 of that for last
year and other beans only 45%e, or
about 11S,OO0 acres to Limas and
about the same acreage to a1l other
varieties.

plague of animal menaces to next

ing the spirit of competition and the
JOY of the hunt to their aid, they or

down a big bag of squirrels and other

The cleanup of the countryside
was accomplished on a competitive
basis that allowed so many points
for each animal killed. Squirrels
hedgehogs. foxes, skunks and rab-
bits each had their point values, and
each had many members in the ag-

PREMIER LEYGUES FACES
SUCCESSION OF BATTLES
Political Storm in France, Which
Has Been Gathering for Some
Time, Has Broken.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1920
PARIS. December 25.-The political
storm which has been gathering for
some time against the Leygues min
istry has broken. The fight against
the ministry is IN the main narrowly
political, but as such is vigorous
enough. If the premier succeeded in
weathering the gale in the chamber
the past week it was largely. because
there was no one actually at hand
to succeed him.
Raymond POincare and Rene Viviani
are said to be forming a ministerial
combination. but it is a question
whether NJ. Poincare, as minister Of
the foreign office. would not clash
with President MillcrandS ambition
to retain a sort of personal control
over the country's foreign policy.
Within the next few days a debate
on foreign affairs is due. which will
probably shake Premier LeyEueS' po-
SitiOn once more.
