There was a noticeable decrease IN
the acreage devoted to sorghum crops
in 1921, due chiefly to the fact that
farmers in eastern Colorado, wherc
sorphums are most extensively grown
increased their acreage of winte.
wheat materially, at the expense oil
other crops. Assessors reported ~,
7s9 acres of grain sorghums IN Is2l,
compared with 266,il4 acres reported
in 1920. while the amount OF sweet
sorrhuns reported was only So,l2l
acres, compared with 100, GAL acres
reported in 1920. Sudan grass, also
a sorghum crop, showed 16,Ol1 acres
in the assessors reports for l92l,
compared with 20.s12 acres IN 1871
Sudan grass and sweet sorghums ara
nearly all cut for forage or hay,
while 20 per cent of the grain sor-
slums were cut for grain in 1921, ac-
cording TO reports received by the
crop reporting service. In the past ten
wears there has been steady and
rather rapid increase in acreage de-
voted to sorghum crops, and the de-
crease shown in 1921 was undoubted-
" only n temporary break in the
growth of popularity OF the sorghums
in the state. The history of sorghum
crops in Colorado has shown that they
are among the most reliable feed crops
for the non-irrigatcd districts OF
eastern Colorado, and that they never
suffer an entire failure, even in the
unfavorable season. Indications are
that the acreage of wheat in the state
for 1922 will be somewhat reduced,
and that the acreage of sorghums Will
perhaps show an increase over 1871.
These crops are grown most extensive
ly in the southeastern counties, where
cultivated acreages have shown rapid
increases in the past two or three
years.
The acreage Of potatoes grown in
Pueblo chieftain., 1922-01-01

with 1,O34,143 acres reported for the
preceding year. The acreage reported
for spring wheat was $3.50, cont
pared with 344,S acres reported for
1920. This makes total of l,'S6,OIo
,cres fer 1921, compared with 1,379,-
300 acres reported for 1920. The ac-
,ual acreage under cultivation was
somewhat above these figures as re-
ports of county assessors are not quite
complete. Revised figures place the
iotal acreage of wheat planted IN the
ate for the 1921 harvest at 1887
900 acres, compared witk l,5iS,0oo
acres planted for the 1920 harvest.
On account of the unfavorablc season
the abandonment of the 1921 crop was
heavy and the area harvested Tor
grain is estimated at 1,119,0OO acres
There was also a small acreage har-
vested green for hay.
Corn ranks next to wheat among
Colorado crops in point of acreage.
Assessors reported 1,O49,S20 acres OF
corn in the state in 1921, compared
with 1,074,Sl4 acres reported IN 1870.
Indications are that farmers in east
ern Colorado reduced their acreage of
both corn and sorghums materially IN
1921 in order to have more land for
winter wheat. Assessors reports
showed an average of 34.1S acres of
wheat grown per farm in the state IN
1921, compared with an average of
27s7 acres per farm in 1920. The
same reports showed an average Of
2O.O9 acres of corn grown per farm In
the state in 1921, compared with
21.SS acres in 1920, and an average of
6.23 acres of sorghums per farm in
1921, compared with 7.66 acres in
1920.
Revised estimates place the area de-
voted TO corn in the state in 1921 at
/ .102, 900 acres. As previously stated,
about 20 per cent. of this was harvest
ed for grain, the remainder being cut
for forage or silage, hogged off or
abandoned. The amount of silagc put
up in the state is increasing ench year.
and corn is the principal silagc crop.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 acres

dorado Farmers Cultivated Largest Area in
HISTORY Of the State in the Year Just Fast

colorado in 1921 was perhaps the
largest in the history of the state, tho
tho total production has been exceed
ID. Assessors reported 10l, ,l59 acres
devoted to this crop, compared with
S3.3l1 acres reported in 1920. More
than rs per cent of the potato acre
age was irrigated in 1921, compared
With 70 per cent irrigated in 1920. A
large percentage of the non-irrigated
potatoes grown in 1921 was abandoned
ON account Of crop failure and a con-
siderable percentage of the irrigated
acreage was not harvested because Of
damage done by early frost and dam
age resulting from other causes The
total production of the crop is esh-
mated at about II 900, 900 bushels.
There was decrease in acreage de-
voted to nearly all small crops grown
in the state and slight decrease of
sugar beets. The sugar beet crop was
not so badly damaged by insect pests
as it was last year and the total pro
duction was not much short Of that
for 1920. The cash value Of tho crop
to farmers, however, fell much short
of that for 1920, because OF tho de-
crease in the price paid for bcets. The
cantaloupe crop was little short Of
that for 1920, but the price generally
was more favorable compared with
1920 prices than were prices for most
other farm products.
Pueblo chieftain., 1922-01-01

OF course the purchasing power oil
the farmer has not been so severely
reduced in the past two years as these
figures indicate, for prices of prac-
tically all commodities which farmers
must have been reduced somewhat.
Reports of various government agen-
cies, however, show that the average
prices of farm products, including
livestock and livestock products. have
suffered larger percentage OF re-
duction in the past two years than
those of any other large group of re-
lated products. Reports of the
United States department of agricul-
ture show that the average of prices
of farm and orchard crops on Nov. l.,
1921, was 45.5 per cent. lower than the
average of prices of the same products
on November l for the past five years.
Wheat has been Colorado banner
crop in point of acreage for several
wears, and for the past three years. at
least, it has held the same high rank
in point of value. Both winter and
spring wheat are grown in the state,
the acreage devoted TO winter wheat
now being three times as great as that
devoted to spring wheat. Most of the
increase in cultivated acreage report
ed for the state in 1921 was account
ed for by the large increase in the
acreage devoted to winter wheat.
County assessors reported 1,40s. .26O
acres for this crop in 1921, compared

Conditions affecting the agricultural
industry were not generally favorable
in Colorado in 1921. This state was
subject to the same adverse financial
conditions that affected the industry
thruout the country, which had ten
dency to reduce agricultural opera
tions very materially. In addition to
this, the season was very unfavorable
in the northeast part of the state,
: which is the most extensively cultlvat-
CO district.
But in the face of these adverse
conditions Colorado farmers cultivat-
cd in 1921 the largest area ever cul-
tivated in the state. Reports of
county assessors TO the State lmml-
grafton Department showed total of
5.357, ,7S4 acres under cultivation, COM
pared with 5,009,S21 acres reported
by county assessors for 1920. This
is an increase of a little more than 6
per cent, but the actual increase IN
cultivated acreage was not quite so
large as these figures Indicate, since
assessors, reports for 1921 were
somewhat more complete than those
for 1920. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the area under cultivation
in the state in 1921 was at least B
per cent. greater than that for the
previous wear, while for the country
at large the cultivated acreage was
approximately 3 per cent. less than
for the previous year, according to
reports of the United States bureau
of markets and crop estimates.
Reports of county assessors are
somewhat short of the true acreage
under cultivation, particularly for hay
crops. Making all necessary additions
it appears that the total area under
cultivation in the state in 1921, eN-
elusive of orchards, was slightly more
than 100000 acres The census bur
eau reported 5.052.955 acres harvested
in the state in 1919, which was per-
haps the largest area harvested IN
Colorado up to that time. The acre
age harvested is always somewhat
short of the acreage in cultivation, for
there is always some abandonment of

Of corn was harvested for silagc in
1921, compared with a total of 5o.l2o
acres of all crops harvested for silage
in 1919, as reported by the census
bureau.
HAY, which is often classed as a
single crop and is given first rank
among Colorado crops in both acreage
,nd value, is indeed several distinct
,rops. 1t includes in this state aifal-
Ca, timothy, alsike clover, sweet clov-
II, millet and several other cultivated
,rasses, a wide variety of wild gras-
es and certain amount of small
.rains, field peas and beans cut green
The area devoted to all these hay
crops combined is estimated Mt only
+, .5S4,OOO acres or considerably less
than the area devoted TO wheat. The
largest single hay crop in the bst rs
alfalfa, with about 773,000 acres III
1921. The total production. of hay for
he state in 1921 is tstima.ed at about
2, ,534 900 tons. including small grams,
field peas and beans Gu. for hay. The
value of this output IS somewhat less
han that of the wheat crop at current
prices.
Assessors reported 275,0ol acres OF
oats, 240,2Sl acres of barley and 127,-
116 acres of rye in 1921, compared
with 237,356 acres of onts, 236,65o
acres of barley and 1921 acres OF
rye reported in 1920. Indications are
hat the reports are about five per
cent short of the true acreage OF
these crops for 1921, and about 10 per
cent short of the true acreage for
1920. Revising the figures on this ba-
sis the actual acreage of oats in the
state in 1921 wns about 2S9.oOO, com
pared with 261 900 acres in 1920; that
of barley about $4,000 acres in 1921
and about 100000 acres in 1920; and
rye about $4,000 acres in 1921 and
l39. 900 acres in 1920. A considerable
percentage of each Of these crops is
cut green for hay. while some of each
crop is pastured or abandoned. All
these crops were somewhat adversely
affected by the drought of 1921 and

LAST NIGHTS DECISION SHOWS
BRITTON STILL MASTER BOXER

New York, Feb 1S.-Jack Britton
at SO still is the master boxer and
by virtue of that fact he today re
mains the worlds welterweight box
ing champion.
Last night in Madison Square Gar
den Britton met Young David Shade
OF San Francisco, courageous, able
lad, in a 15-round match. The judges
decided the contest was a draw, and
that enabled Britton to retain his
title.
In the majority opinion of the fistic
writers at the ring side, however, the
judges erred, for Britton appeared to
have had. the advantage on points
over his young rival.
1t is true that Californian always
was on the aggressive, that he made
the champion miss occasionally, Or
rather frequently. but, nevertheless,
Britton, whether retreating or stand
ing, his ground, was sending gloved
fists against his opponents head and
body. Shade was missing. too, and
many of the terrific blows were
smothered in the BrittOn defense
Shade shook the title holder several
times with rights to the jaw, but was
himself shaken oftener by both rights
and lefts to the head.
Benny Leonard, lightweight cham,
pion, who aSpires also to the welteT.
weight title, was an attentive ringside
spectator.

first in spacing the movement of mar

Speculative shares were irregularly

being accomplished at the expense of
the stubborn short interest, but prices
and. the volume of business tapered off
considerably later.
Much of the reaction was precipat-
