900 farms on which land is being
cultivated in Colorado this year,
compared with 49,117 farms repor-
ted by county assessors last year.
While there is apparently a larger
area in cultivation in the state this
year than last. the apparent increase
in number of farms is perhaps due
to more complete returns being made
by county assessors this year than
previous years.
The law requiring county assess
annually became effective in 1919.
and this is the third year such sta
tistics have been selected ASSESS
ors are improving their reports this
year. due largely to the demands of
local business men and commercial
organizations for complete and ac-
curate reports. In several of the
more important agricultural coun-
ties, including Logan. Phillips, SedAe-
wick. Kit Carson, Douglas. Costilla.
San Miguel, Dolores and few Others
the reports of county assessors this
| year show more farms than we've
reported by the census bureau in
1920 and in practically all these
counties and in several Others the
acreage in cultivtion as reported ny
county assessors this year is create
than that reported by the census
bureau for 1919.
OF the 61 counties for which re-
ports are made all but 13 show a
larger number of farms than was
reported last year. The counties
which do not show as many farms
this year as last are Arapahoe,
Boulder. Crowley, Delta, Elbert.
Fremont. Huerfno, Montrose. otero,
Routt, Summit, Teller and Weld. In
most of these counties the decrease
| in number of farms reported is
small, but in a few, like Arapahoe
and Otero. the decreases are much
larger than could have resulted from
natural abandonment of farms.
due to unfavorble conditions such
as prevailed at the beginning of this
year Such comparisons as are
possible at this time indicate that
the most complete county report
turned in is that from Logan coun-
lty, but almost perfect reports have
been turned in from several other
counties, including Phillips. Sedge-
wick. Kit Carson. Cheyenne, Doug
las and a few others.
These reports OF county assessors
afford the only means OF keeping al
accurate record of the agricultural
growth of the various counties OIL
the state. Such a report is especi
Illay valuable at this time, whom
many counties in the non-irrigate-
districts are doubling their cultiva-
ted acreage from one year to the
next.

This Citizens Military Training
Camp is the direct outgrowth of the
Plattsburg, New York Camps held In
1913, 1914 and 1915 Firmly believing
not only that properly conducted mill
itary training contributes to the ply
steal, mental and moral development
of those participating, but that the
building OF such real Americans Is a
patriotic duty in that il provides one
OF the surest safeguards against war,
several thousand citizens In those
years attended those camps al their
own expense and demonstrated the
plan originally fathered by Major
General Leonard Wood. to be mark
ed success
In recognition OF this fact and to
make possible the Democratic ideal
OF equal opportunity for every citizen
Congress. on June 4, 1920, incorporat-
ed the essential features OF the plan
into the Army Reorganization Bill
which provided for the coordination
OF all military and civilian agencies
into comprehensive system Of ma
tlonal defense.
In the past each citizen attending
these camps did so at his own ex
pense The present law makes the
Citizens Military Training Camp part
OF the National system OF training for
the National Defense, along with the
Regular Army, National Guard and
Organized Reserve, and provides that
the Government shall pay All ex-
penses or conducting the camps. fur.

dries.
There Is absolutely no expease To

his transportation from his home will
be returned as soon ns he reaches
Camp Meade at the rate OF five ccnts
a mile for the journey. This will not
only pay his railroad fare but allow
an additional amount for food and
other necessary expenses during the
trip. The allowance for the return
trip Will be paid him before he leaves
Camp Meade for his home.
II he Is unable TO defray the cost OF
his carfare and Is selected to attend
the Government will provide him with
u railroad ticket from his nome and
pay the actual cost Of his meals en-
route up to $500 per day.
The whole idea Of the camp Is 10

an equal chance 10 attend TO enjoy the
physical and mental benefits of -
healthy outdoor life and military
