AtGU ST CROP REPORT ISSUED
BY CROP REPORTING BUREAU

Heavy decline in all Colorado crops

figures below the teu-ycar average,
are the salient features Of the August
ls' crop report just released by the
United State Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics division Of Crop and Live
Stock Etimatesl. 10 cooperation with
he State Board OF Immigration.
The prospects OF the hay crop for
the state declined nearly $50, 900 tons,
and Is about 700. 900 tons less than
the crop harvested In 1921, or IA re-
duction of nearly Is per cent from
the crop Of a year ago. The United
States Hay crop was estimated at
llO,37S,0OO tons compared with about
9TOOO,0OO ton last year. The coudi-
ton Of the Colorado nay crop on Aug.
lst was so per cent Of normal com
pared with % per cent last year. and
81 per cent, the ten-year average. On
account Of unfavorable moisture con-
ditioHs the area of hay in the state
to be harvested is only 80 per cent Of
that Of last year, when ,60l 900
acres Of all hay were harvested.
According to this report, a COM
biued production of Colorado winter
and spring wheat declined nearly T.
100000 bushels, and is placed at 49,

Uniayorabe temperature and deficient
supplies of water for irrigation, with
little rainfall in most sections caused
decline during July of nearly a
million bushels. The crop is in the
balance and present indications are
that the final output will be less than

the most important potato territory,

district. The United States crop is
