The number of farm tractors op-
rated in the state has not shown
70 large an increase in the past IL
months as in the two preceding
years, according to partial reports
received, by the State immigration
Department from county assessors.
Final reports showed 3,34s tractors
being operated on the farms in 1920,
compared with 2.247 the preceding
year. Such reports as. have been
received this year indicate that
there are slightly more than 1000
farm tractors in use in the state
this year. fully so percent of them
being in thee ounties east of the
mountains. Weld county leads in
the number of tractors reported,
with about $50, and Logan county
ranks second, with about 400. A
few counties show decreases in the
number of tractors reported, but

Partial reports received by the
State immigration Department from
assessors show that there has been
a considerable increase IN the num-
Der of silos in the. state since last
year. though the increase appar-
emily is not 50 great as was that OF

with 2, reported in 1912, The
census bureau found that silage was
harvested on 2.766 farms in the
state in 1919, though no report was
made on the actual number of silos
There has been a very rapid increase
IN the amount of silage put up IN
state in the past five years. and the
census bureau found that more than
$4,000 of various crops were harv-
ssted for silage in 1919, chiefly. corn
and sorghums Corn is now being
grown for. silage in every county in
eastern Colorado, in most of the
counties on the western slope and in
some of the higher altitude coun-
ties where IT was formerly thought

The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XV.-KENTUCKY
~ TsHE kinship
N<e1lzaossSM j of Ken
NIX "a WM tucky and
jf@f x sFs y ISl, Virginia is
llGlgg " F sEliHij that of par
MAMIE ss5spW ent and child.
NS>SSS5eIW From Virginia
~ came most of
the settlers of the western state,
and with them these pioneers
brought Virginia institutions
and ideals. 1t was not until
1850 that the first authentic
journey was made by a white
man into central parts of the
region afterwards called Ken
tucky.
Further explorations showed
that this territory held two i'm
portant attractions for settlers,
The first was the great fertility
of what was called the Blue
Grass region. The so-called
blue grass, from which this
state is niclnamed the sBlue
Grass State" is in no wise pe-
culiar to Kentucky.
The second inducement for
settlers was the fact that there
were no Indians living in this
region. 1t was later found that
many rowing bands of savages
crossed the Ohio from the north
and sorely harassed the early
colonists until Clark's expedi-
tons into Ohio and Indiana
checked their invasions. In fact,
the name Kentucky is probably
derived from the Iroquois word
kentka-ke, meaning ''hunting
land" Another Interpretation
is. dark and bloody ground"
but this IS doubtless Incorrect.
The main highways of travel
at that time were Daniel
Boone's evidences Road
through Cumberland Gap and
down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers
poured into this new territory
in such numbers that in 1892,
with the permission of Virginia,
Kentucky was admitted to the
Union as the fifteenth state with
an area of 40.59S square miles.
Kentucky has thirteen electoral
votes for president. The re-
markable physical condition of
its population is shown in a re-
port of the volunteers in the
Civil war. This gave their av-
erage height as nearly an inch
taller than the New England
troops and with a correspond
ingly greater girth of chest.

he said. "Christian Scientists do not
fail to take cognizance of the diff

and the history of this movement
shows clearly that. as a Gloss. Chris

Mr. Young said the Bible is the

Bishop-Elect Manning Says No
Force San SWerve United States
From That Purpose.

NEW YORK, February 21.-Rev. DR..
William r. Manning. bishop-elect of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
New York, declared in sermon here
that the people of the United States
would allow no force from either
within or without the nations borders
to endanger "our relations with those
who We're our comrades in the war"
Mr. Manning preached at the thirty
first annual church service of the Sons
of the Revolution ih commemoration
of the birth of George Washington.
The service was held in Trinity
Church, where Washington. with the
Vice President and members of Con-
gress. attended religious services fol-
lowing his inauguration on April 80.

PRODUCTION MAIN FACTOR
IN BUSINESS, is CLAIM
U. s. Commerce Chamber Review
Discloses Prospect of Improved
Conditions in Country.

production is now and will continue
to be the dominant factor in the busi-
ness situation in the United States
and business conditions will improve
from the present time on, according
to the monthly review of business
compiled for the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States by Archer
Wall Douglas, chairman of the cham
bers committee on statistics and
standards.
The most convincing evidence that
we are on the high road to recovery"
Mr.. Douglas says, ''is found in the
universal report, brought by travelling
statesmen from every section of the
country. of steadily growing senti-
ment that business will be better in
the spring'-not a sudden return to
prosperity, which is neither likely nor
desirable, but slow and natural
working out of those processes of
liquidation. which are now in full
operation.
"All are agreed that the only way
to hasten matters is by the general
exercise of the homely virtues of hard
work and economy.
while unemployme is still larger,
there is more work and less idleness
on the whole in industrial sections.
The lessened production in manufac-
turing has naturally resulted in de-
creased output of coal Also in the
oil fields there are falling prices ac-
companied by cutting down the out
put"
