900 acres reported last year. Re.
ports have been received to date
this year from 43,1S9, compared with
total of i9,117 farms reporting last
year. Present indications are that
the number of farms reporting this
year will he slightly larger than last
year II will be seen that the total
area of wheat so far reported this
year is 1,536,000 acres, compared with
total of 100000 acres last year
and it is fair to assume that at least
100000 acres will be added to this
years acreage when reports are com
pleted The census bureau reported
1,32S.616 acres of wheat harvested IN
the state in 1919, which was the lare.
est acreage ever devoted to the crop
in Colorado up to that time.
Apparently wheat is the only crop
grown in the state which shows any
considerable increase in acreage over
last year, and most crops show slight
decreases. The area devoted to corn
is apparently slightly less than that
for ,ast year, while sorghums. alfalfa,
broom corn and beans apparently
will show considerable decreases.
There is slight increase in the
acreage of potatoes, nd but little DIFF
ference in most truck crops. It now
appears that the total area in cultiva-
ton in the state is about the same
as that for last year, or slightly less
than 100000 acres.
Nearly all the non.irrigated coun.
ties east of the mountains show sub.
stahtial increases in acreage devoted
to winter wheat this year. Kit Car
son county shows an increase of more
than 100 per cent. Baca county more
than 300 per cent and Kiowa and
Cheyenne counties each close to 400,
per cent. Substantial increases also
are shown for Logan, Phillips, Sedg.
wick, Adams, Lincoln, Ebert and FL
Paso counties. Reports from Wash.
ington and Yuma, two Of the leading
wheat counties of the state, are at
present not nearly enough complete
to show whether they will report
more wheat this year than for 1920.

4. To determine the cost per bushel
