Crop Report
To August 1st

Marked declines in condition for
corn and wheat from the July l fig
ures, condition of all crops of the
state equaling 1914 per cent of the
ten-year average. decline of is
points during July, and the salient
features of the regular State-Federal
August l crop report released today
through the Colorado Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service.
Though all the principal crops suf-
fered some declines in condition dur
ing July, the percentages of decrease
were generally small compared with
the declines registered for the same
crops nationally.
The potato crop is of great interest
to the farmers and others at this
time due to the facts that Colorado
potatoes continue to show prospects
for excellent production while ma
tionally the crop deteriorated 17.6
points since the first of July and on
August l had declined to figure of
COS percent of normal with a fore
cast of only 316,OOO,OO0 bushels COM
pared with i31.000,000 bushels last
year. This is the smallest prospect
when the United States potato pro-
duction went below 3OO.0O0OOO bush
els. The Colorado crop declined only
one point during July and on August
l had a condition of 93 percent of
normal. or 2 points higher than last
year on August l. points above the
ten-year average for this date. Good
growing conditions until harvest may
raise this estimate another 1000 600
bushels, with more complete returns
from assessors. II now appears that
the area growers estimated would be
planted is in excess of 1000 acres.
The final estimate for the crop last
year was 1O.920G00 bushels. In 1919
the Census Bureau showed S,S75000
bushels harvested from about 1900
acres. The largest crop In the his.
tory of the state was In 1918,

| Winter wheat declined points dur

on this condition the production is es-
timated at 24,50O,00O bushels, compar-
ed with about 1854, 900 bushels, ten

With this condition figure, this years
crop of corn still promises to be the
record crop for the state and amounts
to approximately 19,026,000 bushels
as compared with revised estimate
of 1S,9i0,000 bushels for last year.
These production figures are based
on the estimate that approximately
so percent of the acreage planted to
corn last year was harvested for grain
and that the percentage for grain
will be about the same this year. In
1919 the corn crop of the state
amounted to 10,106,000 bushels as
shown by the Census Bureau and was
