DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
KANRED WHEAT.

There has been some complaint
in several sections of Colorado that
Kanred wheat is not as good mill
ing wheat as Turkey wheat. Fol-
lowing is an extract of a letter that
County Agent Aicher received from
Alvin Kezer, Chief Agronomist of
he Agricultural College.
"Kanred is a Turkey wheat. be-
ing a pure line selection out of Tur
key If the wheat were sold to
the elevator man for Turkey Red.
he could not tell it from the straight
and the miller who bought
it could not tell it from the
straight Turkey OF course the
quality of Kanred will be good under
good growing conditions, and poor
under poor growing conditions.
The same will be true of Turke1
wheat Kanred, being a Turkey
Red will behave in exactly the same
way"
The soil and climatic conditions
practically control the baking and
milling qualities of any crop of
wheat. and sowing seed containing
a large percentage of gluten of high
quality in no way insures the pro-
duction of such quality of wheat in
the subsequent crop. According TO
IL. A. FITZ,of the milling department
If the Kansas Experiment Station,
several of their local millers and
grain men are simply picking out
wheat that does not look good to
hem from the milling standpoint
and are calling it Kanred In
many instances it is not grown from
Kanred seed at all. The milling
department has had samples of pure
Kanred wheat that would be very
unsatisfactory from the milling
tandpoint, but this has also been
true of Turkey Red, Kharkov, and
ny other hard red winter whea's.
From all appearances, the millers
are just a little suspicious of new
yarities..

and thee ensus bureau found L.
32S,616 acres of wheat harvested in

that figures collected by assessors s
were incomplete, for very consid-
erable acreage of spring wheat plan

account of crop failure and some
winter wheat also was abandoned
that year. The assessors figures
rowever. revealed the fact that acre
age estimates for wheat as we'll as
for several other crops were far too
low in Colorado

TO MUeKRAKE LOGGING
AND SAWMILLS

Can nothing divert the Federal
Trade Commission from applying a
dose of redtapeltis to the numbering
industry of the Pacific Northwest.
The lumber industry was slowly
coming back to normal conditions
and was overcoming its major
problems when 1t suffers paralyz-
ing stroke.
The largest operators will prob
ably be dragged before the Federal
Trade. Commission in Washington,
their books keelhauled for evidence
that there is a lumber trust in ex-
istence, and all to what purpose, to
furnish useless commission with
something to do
The Trade Commission refuses to
work in a constructive manner with
the Department of Commerce and
the President and all is riding to a
fall in its craze to attack the Iarg
est industry in the west.

COUNTY ASSESSORS REPORT.

The great value of the agricultur-
al statitics collected annually by
county assessors for the State Immi-
grafton Department is emphasized
again this year hy the facts they
have brought abcu; increases in &C
reage of certain crops, especially
x nter wheat ard potato)i. Early
:. the season, when estimates were
> the various .roys for this year. t
vas the general belief that farmers
in Colorado would cultivate smaller
aereages to nearly all crops this
year, the same asi they apparently
were doing in most other states
Prevailing opinions were that re-
duced prices and stringent money
market had induced farmers here to
eurtail their farming operations very
materially.
The figures gathered by county
assessors, however, revealed the fact
that farmers in Colorado are cuIti-
rating larger acreage this year
than has ever before been under
cultivation in the state. The acre
age devoted to corn is about the
anne as that of last year, that de-
voted to barley and oats perhaps a
title larger and that devoted to
5oth wheat and potatoes shows large
Increases over last year Early
estimates indicated that about 920,-
600 acres had been planted to win
ter wheat in the state, whereas the
reports of county assessors show
that the actual paintings were in
1he neighborhood of 1,450,000 acres.
In the case of potatoes early estl-
mates indicated about $4,000 acres,
while the reports of assessors show
that more than 100000 acres of po-
.atoes were actually planted.
Before acreage figures from coun-
ty assessors were available in this
state estimates placed the area de
voted to wheat here al considerable
less than 100000 acres. The
Year Book of the U. S. Department

TONNAGE HAULED
OVER COUNTRY ROADS.

The necessity of keeping country
roads in good condition is shown
by a report recently compiled by
the. Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. showing the
extent to which they are used in
hauling farm products to market
According to the report, which
shows the tonnage of IL products
hauled on country roads. giving the
yearly average for the period from
1915 to 1919, there were 81 tons Of
these IL crops hauled for every 100
acres of land. The average tonn-
age of the IL crops hauled on
country roads each year for the
period mentioned amounted to &c.
$4,000 tons, The IL crops referr-
ed to in the report are corn. wheat,
oats, barley. rye, rice, fiaxseed. cot

says:
The copper situation does not

reasons why 1t should, but the delay

With what may be called it's leglti-
mate domestic trade. Surplus
stocks have decreased through for
eign demand.
In the mining situation the future
or the silver producers is exceed
ngly bright. Large profits through

md an advance above this price for

within the next few months. The
gold companies should be able to

CHANGE IN MEAT BUSINESS
AT CASTLE ROCK

Mr.. p. s. Miller. Jr., OF Elizabeth
has taken over the Meat Market
which has been operated at Castle
Rock under the firm of Miller G. Fa-
Der and has moved to this place to
give the business his personal super
vision. He has purchased the meat
business from both Shellabrager
Company and The Castle Rock Mer-
camille, and will handle meats and
meat products exclusively.
1t is expected that by this move,
the people OF Castle Rock and vicin-
ity may be given better service at
less cost as the overhead charges
will be materially lessened by handl-
ing the business all at one place.
