This means that the area under culti-
walton in the state increased more
than 100000 acres In the past de.
cade. Reports collected by the State
immigration Department through
county assessors In 1920, showed that
about 100000 acres was under cul-
tivation in the state that year. which
was the largest area ever under cul-
tivation any year In the state except
1919. 1t is apparent that about
100000 acres Of land that has been
cultivated lies fallow each year or is
used only for pasture. The amount Of
land that is summer fallowed is in
creasing rather rapidly each year. es-

chant ship policy, and in our naval
policy, and in our policy relative to
putting tax on foreign goods that
come into this country.
Now, maybe that man on the
street car was right. Possibly those
foreign people cause us lot of dam
age by trying to guide our policies for
us, but, as l said before. I think they
are an awful nuisance but not OF any
real danger. or course, we have to
keep watch on what they are doing
and prevent them from misleading
our own people, and that may be a
good thing for the country. We take
more interest In running our own af
fairs when we see outsiders trying to
run them for us. Most of the leaders
of the Socialists, who want to trans.
form our government, are foreigners.
but they are not really dangers to the
country, for they work in the open
and we can answer their arguments
or lock them up IL they advocate force
or unlawful measures.

Yes. that's ii. Now wait Just q
minute. All, here is what wanted to

teen years ago, the historian Whelp-
ley said in his book, when he was dis
cussing American newspapers. We
cannot omit the occasion of observ-
ing that several of our public papers
have been conducted by foreigners,
who, could it be presumed that they
understood the nature of our govern
ment and civil policy, are utterly in
capable of feeling any interest in, or
concern for. either. 1t is matter of
serious regret that the people of our
country should give them counte-
nance, be led by them. and look up to
them as their political guides. We
hope we shall not be thought imperti.
nent when we ask what would be the
fate OF an American printer who
should go to London, or Paris, and set
up his political mandatory upon so
large scale as those foreigners do

the recognized agricultural program.
The value of acreage reports turned
in by county assessors is well illus
trated by the figures given above.
which show that the assessors are
furnishing each year very reliable
information on the acreage of all
crops under cultivation, which infor-
nation in the past has been available
only once each decade, through the
census bureau. Reports collected by
county assessors have also shown
very clearly that estimates of acre
age made by the bureau Of crop esti-
mates are generally unreliable and
should be corrected much oftener
than once each ten years.

CROP ACREAGE MAY
BE DECREASED

Advance reports received by the
state immigration department from
various sources. indicate that the to-
tai acreage in cultivation In Colorado
this year will he somewhat less than
that of 1920. due chiefly to unsatis-
factory prices for farm products, to
difficulty on the rgIt OF farmers In oh.
tanning money Tor financing their op-
erations. to uncertainty about prices
for farm labor and II other similar
causes. Preliminary INQUIRIES indi-
cate that the acreage devot d to win
ter wheat is abort 90 per c-nt of t',at
planted In 1919. and that there VIII be
some decrease in area devoted II
spring wheat. There is as, indie =
tion OF a decrease in acreage of sugar
beets and of field beans and posslbly
some decrease In oats and barl "
Apparently there will be n slight In
crease in acreage OF potatoes and Fer.
haps slight increase In acreage OF
corn and sorghums. The State Co
operative Crop Reporting Service
learned In response to recent in.
duiry that a considerable number OF
farms In the non-irrigated farming
districts will reduce the acreage un.
der cultivation. 4 considerable mum.
ber OF new farms will be put In oper.
alton this year. but not sufficient
number to counteract the decrease In
