MOST POPULAR CROP
More Colorado Farmers Raise Corn
Than Any Other Crop Now.

Reports of county assessors to the
State Immigration Department show
that more farmers in Colorado are
growing corn than any other crop,
though the acreage of wheat under
cultivation is much greater than that
of corn. These reports for 1921 show
52,245 farms being operated in the
state, of which 2S,091 are producing
corn. The number of farms report
ing winter wheat is 1857, and IA ,553
farms report spring wheat. A con
siderable number of farmers, however,
grow both winter and spring wheat, so
that the total number of farms re-
porting wheat this year is not in ex-
cess of $4,000.
The census bureau found that 22,-
1913 farms in the state were producing
corn in 1919, while the number produc-
ing wheat was 23,961. Winter wheat
then was reported from 14,400 farms
and spring wheat from 1876 farms.
Since that time there has been arf in
crease of more than 5000 in the num-
ber of farms reporting corn and an
increase OF only little more than
1000 in the number of farms report
ing wheat. But for 1919 the census
bureau reported only 2217 acres of
wheat for each farm reported, while
this year county assessors report 34.18
acres of wheat for each farm report
ed. The census bureau reported 1852
acres of corn harvested, exclusive of
that cut for silage, for each farm re-
ported for 1919, while county assess
ors report 20.09 acres of corn planted
in the state for all purposes in 1921.
From these figures it will be seen
that corn is now being introduced in
to new territory in Colorado more rap
idly than any other crop, but the acre
age such new territory is giving to
the crop is comparatively small. In
the case of wheat the spread into new
territory is not so rapid, but persons
who have been growing wheat for
years are increasing their acreage
each year, until now the average acre
age of wheat grown per farm in the
state is greater than that for any two
other crops. Alfalfa ranks third |
among crops Of the state in acreage |
per farm, with 1922 acres for this
year. Corn and alfalfa combined have |
a total acreage of 34.1s acres for every |
farm reported by county assessors this
year. Two counties in the state re-
port more than 100 acres of wheat per
farm this year. They are Phillips, |
with 1908 acres, and Washington.
with lOl.7i acres. Yuma county ranks
third in this respect, with 99.5I acres.

81 EACH FROM 10000 ASKED
FOR NEW STATE HOSPITAL
University Begins a Statewide Cam
paign Fund-New Institution
Will be Boon to INDECENT
Sick and Injured of
State.

One dollar each from 100000 citi-
zens Of Colorado is the objective of a
campaign just launched by the State
University for the establishment of
the new state general hospital.
The new hospital, if established. will
be boon to INDECENT sufferers from
disease or injury because it will place
within their reach, without cost, the
very best medical and surgical atten-
tion that money can buy. When it is
established any citizen of the state
who needs medical or surgical treat
ment and who cannot afford to pay
for it, can 90 to this new hospital and
receive free treatment.
This new hospital will belong to all
the people Of the state, and because
of this fact, the University has decid-
ed to give the people at large an op-
portunity to help establish it.
The campaign. which has just been
announced in quarter-page advertise
ments in the newspapers, will continue
for the next six weeks. Alumni of
the University, commercial clubs. ro-
tary clubs, lionc' clubs. women's clubs,
parert-teacher associations and organ
izations of a similar nature will be
asked to help work up enthusiasm and
to put over a house-to-house canvass.
H.. - na,a,,,In- -
house-to-house canvass will be con-
Quoted in every city and town in the
State of Colorado, the campaign of
ficially closing Saturday night of that
week.
II this 5000, 900 is raised. Colorado
will receive 100000 from an outside
source for the establishment of this
hospital. medical school buildings. and
research laboratories. This money
will come from the General Education
Board. appointed to distribute large
fund given by great philanthropist
for the development and extension Of
education. The state hospital. medical
school building. and research labora-
tories will cost $1,000, 900. OF this.
100000 will come from outside and
the last state Legislature appropriated
$500 900. This leaves 100000 yet to
be raised.
Appropriations Of the General Edu-
cation Board and the legislature are
contingent upon the raising of this
fund; they cannot be used until it has
been obtained. Without this $500 900
the state hospital cannot be built.

PROF WEAVER HoNORED

Prof. Rudolph Weaver has received
notice of his election to membership
in. the national organization of the
American Institute of Architects, at
Washington, d. c. This is the high
est recognition in the profession, and
comes as a result of his work as col
lege architect.
Professor Weaver submitted the
designs and photographs of President
Hollands residence, McCroskey hall,
and James Wilson hall as an exhibit
of his professional skill shortly after
the opening of school this fall. The
work was examined by a committee
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects
The approval of this committee of
leading American architects is the
most desirable recognition that can
come to an architect, for it puts the
stamp of approval on his work by
members of his own profession and
is equivalent to the degree of doctor
of philosophy in other branches of
learning.

4 HIGH COMPLIMENT

The School of Music and Applied
Design of the State College has re-
ceived another high compliment.
Colonel A. w. Cleary, cadet band in
spector for the war department, says
IN letter to Conductor Herbst
There is only one cadet band in the
country that can compare with yours,
and that is the 95-piece band of the
three Los Angeles high schools"
This is fine eulogy of the work
of Professor Herbst and his pupils
and rebounds to the credit of the
college
so many musicians of recognized
authority so often take occasion to
comment fayorably upon the profit
cheney of the instruction given in
the school of music at the State Col
lege and the fine results which it is
attaining, that Pullman people have
every reason to be proud of the
school and to be thankful for the
splendid opportunities which it of.
fers to their children to develop theiI
musical talents, either vocal or in.
strumental
To have such opportunities is an
other of the many unusual privileges

A WISE SELECTION

The overwhelming majority giyer
F. j. Wilmer of Rosalia, stickel
candidate for state senator from the
Ninth senatorial district, in the spe-
cial election held last week, was not
only a fine demonstration of the
good judgment of the voters but a
scathing rebuSc TO The peanut poll
ticians who refused to nominate
him. The democratic county com
mittee had offered to endorse Mr..
Wilmer and not to place any candi-
date in the field against him, but
some members of the republican
county committee insisted upon MONT
mating another man, for the alleged
reason that Mr. Wilmer had been IN
dependent enough to support Ralph
Conegys, Il democrat, Tor county
commissioner at the recent general
election.
Without lisparaging in any way
the qualifications of Mr.. Morrison,
the regular republican candidate, or
OF Mr. Kincaid, the democratic nomi-
nee, there il no question that in point
OF experience and influence Mr.. VIII
mel stands head and shoulders above
either of them A man OF broad Wis
ion, sound judgment and impressive
personality, With a proven capacity
;Cr accomplishing results and for
leading others, Mr. Wilmer has won
statewide reputation aud his opin-
ions carry weight and command re-
sEectful attention everywhere.
Always public spirited citizen, he
has given much thought and study to
the problems OF taxation of good
reads, of oducetion, and If agricul
ture. Because of his understanding
of these problems he is in p position
to render very valuable services to
this county ard t.. the state
Senator Hall, with his long legls-
latiye experience ard wide influence,
and Senator v liner. with his natural
ability, his ripe judgment and his
forceful personality. will make an
iG?,i continuation, which is certain to
win recognition ard to be an import
ant factor in shap ng the policies CT
the senate.
No county in the state will be more
ably represented in the upper house
at Olympia than Whitman. Senator
Hall and Senator Wilmer are the
type of men who will appreciate the
responsibility imposed upon them,
and who can be relied upon to give a
good account of their stewardship.
The voters of the Ninth senatorial
district are to be congratulated upon
their wise selection.

A WORTHWHILE THOUGHT

Dollars are every mans first con-

Almighty has so organized the hui
man mind that those who chose to
exercise the faculty may easily draw
certain kinds of worthwhile dividends
in other forms. The supreme salts
faction in this life, after all is said
and done, consists in looking back
over actual accomplishments There
are things passed TO the credit of
every man who has done something
for the world in which he lives that
should not be left out Of any calcula-
ton being made as to whether he has
really succeeded or not. If he has
no more than kept even, dollar-wise,
with the world. and yet has lived a
busy, useful life in which the good
old doctrine of the Golden Rule has
been a guiding principle set him
down not as one who failed. And if
he has lived out his life in the open
for the eternal harmonies, he has
found something in every sunrise,
something in every shower. treasures
in every snowfall, that have been
missed by millions of men in other
pursuits.
If he has known only the barest
rudiments of botany he has had
chance to think of something besides
his troubles every time he has sown
seed or pulled a weed The mystic
rious chemistry of soils; the won
ders of heredity in plant and animal
life; the motions of the stars and
migrations of birds! These. all
these, and infinitely more, are re-
turns seldom ever credited on the
books of those who have remained
by choice or from necessity upon the
land with all its uncounted POSSIBLE
