National Crop Improvement serviesl
THERE are many farm wastes
which could be easily prevented
by little concerted action, e.
pecially by members of farm bureau.
For instance, millions of dollars are
being lost every year because the COM
mon barberry bush is allowed to grow
within danger distance of wheat fields.
1t is an established fact that black
rust OF wheat will not attack wheat
again until it has been through the cup
cluster stage. There is no other plant
except the barberry upon which these
rust spores can pass this stage. From
the barberry bush they travel on the
wind and from grass to grass in the red
sporc stage when they again attack
the wheat and turn black.
Farmers do not believe this, but year
after year they are watching their work
go for naught simply because they be-
lieve that some high-broweJ scientist
is trying to put something over, which
sounds very foolish to them.
1t is, however, proven fact, il the
black rust can find no barberry it will
die and cannot harm the wheat. This
ought to be shouted from the house
tops.

has suffered from five rust epidemics

COLORADO BECOMING
A WHEAT STATE

Advance reports from the federal
census bureau, complied by the State
Board OF immigration, show tho pro-
duction OF wheat in all tho important
wheat growing counties OF colorado
in 1919 to have been 18.273,l25 bushels.
The production of wheat in these same
counties In 1903 was 7.222,i60 bushels
The counties for which no reports are
available are Clear Creek, Gunnison,
Hinsdale, Jackson, Lake, Mineral
Park, San Juan. Summit and Teller.
These counties reported but So acres
of wheat in 1900, and county assessors
reported 4A acres for them in 1919.
The State Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service estimated the production OF
wheat in Colorado in 1919 at l764i,SOo
bushels. basing the estimates upon acre
age reports made by county aSscsSors.
Investigations made during 1920 con-
vnccd tho officials of this service that
the estimate was slightly too low and
in December, 1920, 1t was raised to 49,
1876, 1856. In no state for which informa-
ton is now available is the estimate
made by the Bureau of Crop Estimates
so close to the enumeration made by
the Census Bureau as in Colorado.
When all figures are in it is evident
that the difference will be less than !
percent.
Tho Census Bureau found l.5cs, 24s
acres of wheat harvested in the coun-
ties for which reports are available.
County assessors reported 5.733 acres
of wheat planted in the state for tho 1919
harvest, and the State Crop Reporting
Service increased this to l,i59,00) acres
because of incompletencss OF assessors'
returns. This figure was further re-
viscd IN December, 1920, being increased
to 1,524,594 acres. There was heavy
!! abandonment of wheat in 1919, due 10
the extremely unfavorable weather that
prevailed just previous to harvest. Tho
Census Bureaus report on the acre
age abandoned in the state is not yet
available. the flguros so far given be-
ing only the wheat actually harvested
for grain. Such comparisons as are
available in Il fow counties Indicate
that the abandonment was close TO 2o0.-
900 acres.
The counties for which census reports
arc now available harvested St0.6is
acres OF wheat in 1909. These figures
show that the acreage OF wheat In the
in the past ton years. and that pro-
duction has increased nearly 100 per
cent. The year 1919 was exceptionally
unfavorablo for wheat production. and
the same acreage as was cultivated to
the crop In 1919 would havo produced
moro than 2S, 900. coo bushels OF wheat
with a season as favorable as that OF
1920. Reports so far received from the
Census Bureau indicate that no state
except Montana has shown as large a
percentage OF increase In wheat pro-
duction as Colorado.

LARGE GAINS IN
COLORADO LIVESTOCK

Preliminary reports made by tho
census bureau on all counties in Colo
rado. received and compiled by the
state immigration department, show .
substantial increase in every class of
livestock for the state In 1920 over
1910. The largos; percentage of In
crease Is for swine. being more than
100 per cent. while the lowest per-
ecnthse OF Increase Is for sheep.
The following numbers OF the vari-
Gus classes OF livestock were report
ed for tho state for 1920 and 1910. the
enumeration for 1920 being mado as OF
January 1 and that OF 1910 as o, April
Is:
1890 1910
Horses ............ i:o.7oe :et, ,o5S
Mules ...........:.. 3ll26 h.!5e
Cattle .............. i.5s9,3T l.i2l.7S7
sheep ..-.s.--.-..s. l,>np.S-o l,f-es-le
Swine .............. t50.ss3, ll9.sa,
The large Increase in the number OF
horses and mules IS regarded as re-
tnarkahlc In Wow OF the extensive use
that is being made OF automobiles and
other motor vehicles In tho state. This
Increase IS due chiefly TO the rapid
agricultural development In certain
sections OF the state, where many ad-
dltional horses and mules have been
employed In farm work. in spite OF
the very large increase In the num-
Der OF motor vehicles used for this
purpose IN kI' SilllN HftklOHs III i'-
cent years. The largest increases In
the number Of horses and mules arc
shown in the eastern part of the state,
Bacn county showing the largest per-
ccntagc OF increase. Weld county
ranks first In both horses and mules,
with ii.ioi OF tho former and 2,Soi
OF tho latter.
The largest Increases in cattle and
swine arc shown In tho same section
pr the state though san Luis valley
counties show remarkable increases in
numbers OF swine. Baca county shows
the largest percentage OF increase In
both cattle and swine. There has
been heavy decrease in the mum.

the mountains, rs thp free range
where sheep were formerly pasturod
has now given place to cultivated
sarms. In Baca county. for instance,
the number OF sheen reported in 1890
was 1888, compared with SAP In 1910.
Increases in tho number OF sheep are
to be found in nearly all counties
where mountain range Is available.

How to Sleep.

What happens to your body when
you sleep? First, your breathing slows
down and your heart drops six or
eight beats a minute. Then cellular
repair begins. The muscles, nerves,
and tissues get new life; your whole
body breathes more freely.
When you waken you should feel
refreshed. If you don't, perhaps you
have slept too long; or slept in room
not properly ventilated. Eating heavi-
ly before retiring. will also make you
wake up tired.
When you go to sleep, stretch out. II
YOU draw your knees up under your
chin your body will not relax properly.
Small pillows and right bedding are
also recommended.
If you follow all these rules and
sleep eight hours every night, You will
wake up full of pep each morning

ONE NAN FOOLED MONARCH
ice Under Emperor Frederick
William |. of Prussia.

Frederick William | of Prussia had
many an adventure in person as well
as establishing adventures for his Off
GERS when he attempted to keep up his
famous regiment of giants. There is
record of but one man that ever out
witted' him in escaping the tolls of
the guard. Tim Morgan, a poor Irish
farmer, started out to see the world.
He arrived in Prussia, and was prompt
ly seized by recruiting officer of the
guards Tim being a good six inches
over the siX-foot standard for tall men.
Tim stood it for some time, ana
then one day. sighed and remarked
it was too bad that his five brothers,
all bigger men than he, were not men,
bers of the guard. The company Off
GER. overhearing the remark, as was
intended, asked that Tim send for
them. Tim explained they would not
come for any such Summons. King
Frederick heard of the possible re-
cruits, and gave orders that Tim be
sent after them, and with him take
81 500 as bride money. Tim went, and
of course never came back. He had
no brothers, tall or short. Once
wear until his death he would climb
a hill near his home in Ireland and
shake his fist in the Prussian's direc-
ton, and bid him a hooking good-by.
