Crop and Livestock News

Losses of livestock from exposure
in Colorado during the year ending
May were abnormally heavy, accord
ing to reports received by the Colora-
do Cooperative Crop Reporting Serv-
ice from all sections of the state, while
losses from disease were about norm
al. These reports show that losses
of cattle from exposure were As head
per / 200, which is the heaviest loss
reported in the past eight years. The
loss of sheep from exposure was 43
head per 1000, which was the heav-
lest in the past eight years with the
exception of 1919, when the loss was
50 head per 1000. Losses of lambs
from both disease and exposure were
85 head per 1000, compared with an
average loss of 40 head for the past
eight years. Losses from disease were
as follows: Horses, 81 head; cattle.
20 head; sheep 81 head; swine, 33
head. Heavy losses of cattle from ex-
posure were due chiefly to unexpected
bad weather during the month of April
after many cattle had been turned in
TO pastures, together with inability of
owners to obtain hay and get it to
the stock after the storm came.
. Reports indicate that about 8 per
cent of the 1919 hay crop, or 24S,000
tons, remained on the farms on May
i, compared with per cent, or 148,-
900 tons in 1919. This is apparently
sufficient supply of hay for the state
but many sections were short of feed
when the April storms came and were
unable to obtain delivery at the criti-
cal time.
Indications are that about l2 per-
cent of the acreage Of winter wheat
planted in the state last fall has been
abandoned, or about 117,000 acres.
This leaves for harvest about 861 900
acres, compared with 1,064,0 900 acres
harvested last year. The acreage
planted last fall was only 81 per cent
of that planted the preceding year, and
the abandonment of the crop planted
in the fall of 1918 was only percent.
The heavy abandonment this year was
due partly to the poor moisture condi-
tion when the crop was put in last
fall and more especially to the heavy
winds during the month of March.
The condition of winter wheat on
May ! was estimated at S5 percent of
normal compared with 10 percent on
April l and 100 percent on May last
year. This condition of S5 percent in
dicates a production on the acreage de-
voted to the crop of 13,173,000 bushels,
compared with forecast last month
of 13, ,203 900 bushels, this estimate be-
ing based upon the entire acreage
planted. The final production of win
ter wheat last year was 11,916,S0O
bushels, the condition of the crop at
harvest time being only 75 per cent of
normal. The condition of the growing
winter wheat crop in the state is very
much improved since April l and has
continued to improve since May l to
date.
. The condition of winter rye on May
was s5 percent of normal. compar-
ed with rs percent on April /. This
condition of So percent indicates a
production on the 5000 acres de-
voted to the crop of 1,204 900 bushels,
compared with forecast last year on
May l of 100000 bushels, on 12O,-
900 acres.
