VEGETABLE S2oP NOW
NEARLY AS BIG AS SILVER

Denver.-The production of vegeta-
bles for market and for seed has de-
veloped rapidly in Colorado during the
last cade, until the annual value Of
vegetables and vegetable seed grown in
the state is now nearly as great as the
annual value of the silver output.
The leading vegetable crops are can
taloupes. cabbage, cucumbers. toma-
toes, lettuce, celery, onions, beans and
sweet corn. In the production of can
taloupes Colorado ranks second among
the states, being surpassed only by
California. CantalOupes are raised
here both for market and for seed, this
state producing a larger proportion OF
the annual seed output of the United
State than any other. Reports of
county assessors to the State lmmigra-
tion Department show that approx
mntely 1000 acres of cantaloupes were
grown in the state this year, of which
about 1000 acres We're grown for seed.
