the census bureau for 1909. That year
the total acreage harvested, according
to the census report, was 2,253, 145
acres, including wild hay but not in
Guiding orchards. The acreage in cul-
tivation this year Is slightly more than
double that reported by the census bu-
reau for 1909. The largest increases in
acreage made by any crops in this
period have been for wheat and corn.
In 1909 the area devoted to wheat was
about 100000 acres. This year the re-
ports of county assessors show a total
of more than 1,350,OOO acres devoted
TO the crop. The census bureau showed
about $4,000 acres devoted to corn for
grain in 1900, while reports of county
assessors show more than 1,25OOOO
acres devoted to corn in the state this
year, of which amount perhaps IS per
cent will be harvested for grain, while
the remainder will be cut for silage or
fodder or hogged off. Four counties
in the state, Yuma, Morgan, Weld and
Kit Carson, have fully $4,000 acres of
corn this year more than was reported
for the entire state in 1909, while three
counties, Logan, Washington and
Yuma, have more than 100000 acres Of
wheat in EXCESS of that reported for
the entire state in 1909. The area in
cultivation in five northeastern Colo
RADIO counties, Weld, Logan, Washing
ton, Yuma and Kit Carson, this year is
greater than the entire acreage in cul-
tivatiOn in the state in 1909,
