THE VENOM. OF SNAKES.

ted by glands, in their bodies. while
it may paralyze or kin other ani-

A single drop of venom from GER

paralysis or death in a man. yet 1t
is nothing more than an albumineus

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS.

The prominence of wheat among
Colorado crops will be definitely
established this year. both in acre
age and in the value of the crop.
The acreage devoted to wheat is
greater than that devoted to all
varieties of tame and wild hsy
combined. and is greater than that
devoted to any two other crops
combined. with the exception of
corn and alfalfa.
The area devoted to winter wheat
is about / ,450.00o acres. according
to reports received bJ the State i'm
migration Department from coenty
assessors, and that lsvhted 20 spring
wheat about 375.0oo ecres. Inal>irg
-srHbotai 4foi 1.s2Srep sasss------1ls-
area devoted to 'rh. which ranks
next to wheat, Is about 1.f50.00o.
and that to alfalfa about 100000
acres, or perhaps slightly more. No
three other crops combined occupy
as much as million acres.
In 1920 there we're eleven states
having larger acreages of whcft
than Colorado is growing this year.
as follows: Ohio. Indiana Illinois
North Dakota, South Dakota. Ne
braska. Kansas, Wisconsin, Miss
ouri. Oklahoma, and Washington.
Present indications are that the to-
tai production of wheat in this
state this year will be close to 49,
900 900 bushels. Only six states
surpassed this production in 1920,
as follows: Illinois. North Dakota.
Nebraska. Kansas, Oklahoma. and
Washington II is not at all like
ly that a greater number will ex-
ceed the figure this year. in which
case Colorado will advance to sew
enth place. from twelfth position
last year Forecasts indicate that
Colorado will certainly occupy not
lower than ninth place this year ana
may advance even as far as sixth
place.
! Eeven though the states "he"e
crop this year is at least 7,Ooo,ooo
bushels greater than that OF any
previous year, 1t will bring at pres
ent prices slightly less than last
years crop was worth on December
L. 1920, and several millions of dol
lars less than last years crop was
worth at harvest time. AS the
prices of all fran products are low
er this year than last. however,
there is no doubt that wheat Will
hold first place among the states
crops in value.
Ten years ago the area devoted
to wheat in the state was about
100000 acres, OF which considerably
more than one-half was spring
wheat. The increase in acreage
In the decade has been about $50
percent. and. now the acreage OF
winter wheat is about four times as
great as that OF spring wheat.

as can remember it went some
thing like this:
"For sale, one Ford about ten years

Going at a bargain-must be sold.
You can use it for anything you

From cleaning out wells to climbing

The only thing that it seems to lack
Is the habit of going and coming back.

Don't take nothin' to make it choke.
Engine misses more than it hits;
You''e got to cuss it until it quits.
Timers worn til it amt no good;
Somebody's throwed away the hood.
