We Should Worry

The Paris Figaro has been figuring
up the League of Nations overhead
costs and finds them not only stagger-
ing but unreasonable. The Secretary
General, to begin with, gets $4,000
q year. Then there is one Under Sec
rotary who gets $50, 200. and two more
who each get 100000. So. there is the
League duly secretaricd at the consid-
cradle cost of sl15,O00 a year. Then
comes six Directors, each with from
s25, 900 to $4,000 n year. After them
trail 48 members of the Judicial, poll
teal and administrative commissions,
drawing salaries of from $500 to S5,-
900 each. Albert Thomas. the head
of the Labor Bureau, refrains from
labor at salary of 100000 a year.
As for the members OF the Reparations
Commission. each of them gets a sal
ary of something over $780, eco year
By This time, the League has got the
machinery in motion preparatory to
the opening of the real money-spend-
ing season. The Figaro estimates that
the share France will have to pay for
the mere overhead disbursements will
be 100000 francs per annum, and it
respectfully submits that this is too
much. Well, in view of results to
date, maybe 100000 francs for
France is shade excessive. However,
that is Frances affair, not ours.-Har-
vey's Weekly.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Colorado's 1920 agricultural output
The total area under cultivation, ac-
cording to compilations made by the
State Immigration Department from
reports of county assessors, was 81
635, 1893 acres, or about $500 acres
less than the acreage under cultiya-
tion in 1919. The 1920 season was
much more favorable for crop produc-
ton, however, than the previous sea-
son, and the total crop output, includ-
ing fruits, was many thousand tons in
excess of that for 1919. A single ex-
ample will suffice to illustrate this in
crease. The area devoted to wheat
in 1920 was l,471 ,242 acres, compared
with ,524 ,594 acres in 1920. The pro-
duction in 1920 was 27,1l7.0 DAB bushels.
compared with 1S.435, 1886 the previous
year.
But the value of the crop was more
than 1000, 900 less than that of 1919,
due to the very sharp fall in prices
Of all farm products that begun soon
after harvest time and has continued
till the present time. The value of all
crops, including fruits. grown in the
state in 1920 is estimated at S167, ,554,-
900, compared with S199,947.OO0 for
the 1919 crop. One of the heaviest
decreases in value was in the potato
crop. The 1919 crop was worth, at
prices prevailing on December / last
year. S1S,S70 900. The 1920 crop, which
was only about 250,O00 bushels short
of that of the preceding year. was
worth at prices prevailing December l .,
only sS.695.00O.
Wheat was the states leading crop
in 1920, both in acreage and value.
Reports of county assessors show that
the area devoted to this crop was L.
III ,242 acres, and the total production
was 27.117,000 bushels. This was
worth at prices prevailing on Decem-
Der about s36,3Os,O 900, while at the
prices prevailing on September /. 1920
it would have been worth about $685.
100000. About three-fourths of the
crop is winter wheat, which is grown
chiefly without irrigation. Reports Of
county assessors show that about one
half Of the spring wheat is irrigated.
