DRY FARMING GROWS MORE
POPULAR.

Practically complete reports re-
cclyed by the State immigration De
partment from county assessors show
that there has been an increase in the
percentage of non-irrigated land de-
voted 10 all the leading crops grown
In the state and that the total acre
age cultivated without irrigation In the
state his year is considerably greater
than II was last year, while there has
been but little change In the Irrigated
acreage under cultivation.
Colorado's principal crops in point
of acreage are wheat and corn. The
area devoted to corn in the state this
year is more than 100000 acres, OF
which about 90 per cent Is irrigate3
and DOB per cent non-irrigut,,. Ab,,.
the same acreage was devoted to win
ter wheat, of which S9.2 per cent was
non-lrrigated. The spring wheat area
is about 100000 acres, of which 51.1
is non-irrigated Last year about 9O
per cent of the corn grown In the
state was non-irrigated, SO per cent
of the winter wheat and 81 per cent
of the spring wheat. In 1910, 81
per cent of all the wheat grown In
the state was irrigated and about 5
per cent of the corn. Fully 20 per cent
of the acreage devoted to cropsl in
the state In 1910 were irrigated, while
this year about 20 per cent of the
cultivated acreage Is non-irrigated.

to be Colorado's leading crop. Fnal
estimates of production, based upon
acreage figures received by the state

assessors, VIII put the crop somewhere
above 26.000,000 bushels, which al
prices now prevailing will be worth

has always been this states most val
liable crop, but present indications are
that 1t will fall somewhat below wheat
this year. Last years hay crop was

ENGLAND ASSISTING
: WAR AGAINST SOVIET,
SAYS TRADE AGENT
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 5.-Leo Kameneff,
formerly Russian trade agent here,
ordered by the British government to
leave England, arrived in Moscow and
told the Bolsheviki that the attitude
Of allied governments in Europe 20
ward them has changed in accord with
the situation on the Russian war
fronts, say Russian advices.
THE supporters Of intervention have
again raised their heads" he said.
"The Allies are making still one more
effort to overthrow the Soviet govern
ment, and have staked everything on
General Wrangel
Cash WraneeI Checks.
"On the day when Lloyd George
told me to leave London" he stated.
"the Bank of England started cashiug
General Wrangels checks. A direct
war against Russia is very unpopular
In England, and the working classes
demand peace. Therefore Lloyd
George did not decide to announce
openly the alteration in his policy, and
even my departure was explained by
the two excuses Of financial assistanc
TO a labor newspaper, and constant re-
1ations between Soviet Russia and the
Council Of Action.
"The further course of events IN
England and Europe depends on the
manner in which Soviet Russia de-
feats Wrangel," concluded Kameneli.
