COLORADO AGRICULTURE
Farming Area devoted to
Leading Irops

Not only il there a steady increase
in the number of farms being operat-
ed in Colorado from year to year, but
evinently there is also an increase
each year in the average number of
acres under cultivation for each farm.
Reports Of county assessors to the
State immigration Department show
that the average number of acres un-
der cultivation per farm in the state
this year was 102.55, compared with
10l.99 last year and 100.67 acres in
1919.
County assessors reported 52,245
farms being operated in the state in
1921, compared with 49,117 last year
and 1887 in 1919. The actual num-
Der of farms in the state is consider
ably above the number here given, the
census having reported 1894 farms
on January /, 1920. The number, how
ever, includes great many farms ON
which no land is being cultivated. but
which are being used only for pasture
purposes. Practically all farms re-
ported by county assessors are being
actually farmed. Assessors' reports
are somewhat short, however. and il
is estimated that there are not fewer
than $4,000 farms in the state on
which land is actually being cultivat-
ed each year.
The increase in cultivated acreage
per farm, as shown by assessors' re
ports, is due chiefly to a gradual in
crease in the acreage Of winter wheat
being grown on eastern Colorado
farms. In 1921 there was an average
of 1886 acres of winter wheat report
ed for each farm in the state, com
pared with 20.20 acres per farm re-
ported for 1919. Nearly all other
crops show slight decreases in acre
age reported per farm in 1921 as com
pared with 1919.
A larger percentage Of the acreage
in cultivation in 1921 was devoted u
wheat than to any other crop, approx
imately one-third the cultivated area
being devoted to winter and spring
wheat combined. Corn ranks second
in this respect, with 1859 per cent, and
alfalfa third. with 1892 per cent. The
following percentages of the cultivat-
ed area are devoted to other leading
crops; Oats, BIB; barley, 4.4S; rye,
237; sorghums, COG; sugar beets, $40.
In many eastern Colorado counties
more than 40 per cent of the cultivat-
ed acreage is devoted to wheat, the
largest proportion being reportd for
Phillips, which shows 59.25 of its cul-
tivated area devoted to wheat. Nine
counties in this section of the state
have more than 40 per cent each OF
their cultivated areas assigned to
wheat

terday a drastic drop of nearly IL
noints TO 81, from which 1t recovered
less than points at the close. Rumors
concerning Harvester have filled the
Street for the last two or three days

Central Leather.

Heavy selling OF Central Leather
stocks yesterday. particularly the pre-
ferred stock, carried the price for that
issue down to the lowest mark it has
reached in about fourteen years. At
its low mark OF 74A the preferred
stock showed a loss from Tuesdays
close of more than 8 points. Some
short covering in the late hours of the
session carried it back about points
to 765s, a net loss Of AS points. The
company in the last year lost so heavily
that all of it's surplus was written of
except between $4,000. 600 and $4,000, 900.
During the first quarter of 1921, ac-
cording to the gossip in the Street yes
terday. there was a continuation of the
1920 losses on a scale sufficient practi-
cally to wipe out its remaining surplus.
It was on that rumor that the greater
part of the selling was predicated.

drop OF more than point.
