COLORADO BEAN CROP THREE
TIMES LARGER THAN LAST YEAR

Denver.-ColOrado's bean crop is
three times as large as last year and
the grain sorghum crop is the largest
in the history of the state, according
reporting service of the United States
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
The bean crop is 81 per cent of nor
NAL, according to the report, and L.
100000 bushels are expected to be har-
vested. Last year the total crop was
100000 bushels, when it was 78 per
cent of normal.
The fruit crop is good and above a
ten-year average, says the report. APP
pies to be harvested total 3,250,0O0
bushels, compared with 4,250,000 a
year ago. peaches $4,000 as against
100000 last year, and pears, 385,000
for 1923 compared with $4,000 a year
ago.
Sugar beet production this year will
approximate 1,S90,000 tons. Last year
the tonnage was 1,466,000 tons. The
hay crop also exceeds that Of a year
ago. The report places the production
of this year at 2,768,0O0 tons COM
pared with 100000 tons year ago.
Colorado farmers will harvest less
than 100000 acres of potatoes this
year, compared with more than 1872
600 acres planted for harvest in 1922,
according to reports Of county asses
sOrs to the State immigration Depart
ment. Complete reports from>all cOun-
ties but Rio Grande ana estimates
from that county show that the acre
age reported as planted this year is
about $4,000, which is perhaps not
more than five per cent below the
acreage actually planted to the crop.
Even with this heavy decrease in acre
age present indications are that farm
ers will receive more for the 1928 out
put than for that of last year.

sentatives Of the great powers, espe-
cially Lord Robert Cecil, were on the
defensive. For several days, at the
request of President De la Torriente,
the Corfu and Fiume affairs were not
openly discussed, and the league de-
voted itself to the Austrian situation,
concerning which it could properly
congratulate itself. But finally HAL
mar Branting of Sweden broke loose
when the commission for disarmament
was debating the proposed treaty of
mutual guarantees. Declaring this to
be a coercive instrument, he asserted
the covenant already has shown itself
to be rather fragile in practice, and he
questioned the wisdom of taking steps
toward more stringent measures when
the league cannot enforce those it has.
Other severe critics Of the leagues
general policy and especially Of the al
legged failure of the great powers to
live up to the covenant were DR.. Chris
tian Lange of Norway and Prince Ar
faed Dovleh of Persia.

CPAIN'S internal troubles reached a
- climax last Thursday when the
long threatened revolution began with
the revolt of most of the army, led by
the captain general Of Barcelona, Gen.
Primo-R Rivera. That officer declared
a state Of siege in the district, seized
the communications and issued proc
lamation declaring the army called on
the sovereign to save Spain and asking
the dismissal of the present ministers.
Garrisons in other cities adhered to
the military movement, which thereby
assumed the Importance Of real coup
d'etat. The revolt is not directed
against the king. The cabinet de-
clared itself in permanent session and
said it would abandon it's position only
under force.

4 'hANCELLOh S1hEShMANN, III
~ an address to a group Of editors,
made public his plan for reparations
and settlement of the Ruhr problem.
He said in part:
According to the Versailles treaty,
Germany's Indebtedness is guaranteed
by national property. What propose
concerns direct collaboration Of pri-
vate property and therefore goes be-
yond the Versailles treaty. Our call
ing upon private property in Germany
creates realizable security, whereas
the securities under the Versailles
treaty cannot be cashed at present.
eff mortgages are inscribed as first
mortgages on state and private prop
erty of the entire economic system Of
Germany in favor of the German state
to certain percentage-these mort
cages can be considered realizable and
movable value-and brought into a
trustee company in the administration
of which reparations the creditors.
would participate. The interest on
this mortgage would go to the trus-
tee company, which would take up the
loans after issuing obligations based
on these mortgages and their interest.
This would give France possession Of
big sums as well as turn the interest
payments into cash in a set time.
"Such fulfllment certainly is not
theoretical nor general guarantees, but
real facts, free from ambiguity. This
offer can place France in possession
of payments, upon which all the con-
ditions the French made for withdraw
ing from the Ruhr are fulfllable
''In order to make it actual, it Is re-
quired that the Ruhr again be under
| German control and the German SOW
ereignty restored in the Rhineland.
Our offer can bring a solution to the
passive resistance If we are given a
guarantee that after an agreement has
been reached the Ruhr will be evacu-
ated and the old rights restored in the
Rhineland."
Herr Stresemann tacftly admitted
Germany had lost out in the Ruhr but
made no direct reference to the gov
ernment's readiness to call off passive
resistance.
France still insists that passive re
sistance must be officially ended, and
also that evacuation of the Ruhr can
only be effected in proportion to pay
ments made.
TAPAN'S earthquake disaster has lost
- nothing in gravity or horror with
the receipt of more complete details.
Numbering the victims is still fmpos-
sible, and probably always will be,
but the total casualties are estimated
by the Japanese home office at consid-
erably over million, and 1t Is thought

ECHOES FROM THE IMPENDING

Observation-Disclosures.

Signs of marked activity in business
and industrial centers increase and
multiply. The Department of Com
merce announces that untitled orders
for locomotives on February 1, 1923,
were the largest ever recorded by that
department. Traffic on railroads for
this season of the year is exceeding all
previous records as reported by the
Car Service Division of the American
Railway Association.
The Ford Motor Company built 49,
900 cars in March, but this did not
meet the demand, as there were orders
on hand for 100000 cars.
Railroads are unable to render salts
factory service in the west because of
the record volume of business offered.
Business failures during February.
1923, were "a per cent less than for
the same month of 1922, and liabilities
were 40 per cent less.
Cement mills are turning out a mil
lion barrels a day. The building boom
is on.
Production of the Western Oregon
and Washington lumber mills has in
creased about 1S,O0O,OOO feet a week
since the first of March. In the first
eight weeks of the year nearly a bill
lion feet of lumber was produced.

o n MODEST SIGNS.

Any persons who have in the past
practiced such vandalism as shooting
or otherwise defacing or destroying
road signs erected by garages. Inerch-
ants and others, should familiarize
themselves with the terms Of a new
law, effective since February 20,
which provides penalty for such depre-
datiOns.
Tourists and other strangers travel
ing overland are generally thankful
for all information gained from rOad
signs found along the way, and it can
be only pure vandalism and c~ussedness
that would lead anyone to deface or
destroy these signs.
Following is the ext of the law pass
ed by the last legislature TO provide
for the punishment of sign d~estroyers /:
Section 1. Any person or persons
who shall Intentionally or careIessly
mar, mutilate, tear down or destroy
any sign, s%ign-board, budapest or no
tice erected or set up, under authority
of the State, or United States, or any
City, Town, Village, County, Indiyid-
ual, or County Farm Bureau, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon

Another condition is that reductions
in numbers for protective purposes
may be made during any year of the
permit period, but that should the re-
duction for protective purposes equal
or exceed the 10 per cen reduction for
distribution purposes, then no reduc-
ton will be made for the latter pur-
pose. Reimbursement of the grazing
fees, rs well as other administrative
adjustments, such as changes in allot-
ment boundaries. will be made at the
end of the first five years of the ten
year permit. The Service, however
emphasizes the fact that all adjust
ments will be kept at a minimum dur
ing the term of the permit.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, in
a statement concerning the decision to
grant ten-year grazing permits, said
AT the conference of National For
est officers and representatives of the
live stock industry held last March at
oShNh' Aht uiStuSSlOH conferred around
ways and means by which greater sta
bility in the use of national forest
ranges could be secured.
ut was the unanimous decision of
the stockmen that more stability in
the live stock business would exist If
the Service issued ten-year grazing
permits, instead of being limited to
the tive-year permits now being
granted. The principal argument in
favor of the stockmen's contention was
that the industry could rehabilitate it.
self more quickly if longtime permits
were issued.
"The Department of Agriculture
agrees with this argument, and. in
keeping with its policy to give all pos
sible s%sistance to the industry it has
been decided to issue ten-year permits
for the ranges within the national for
ests, beginning with the year 1925"
