Also, I think, as does Senator

MOVEMENT AWAY FROM FARMS

Denver-Reports received by the Sta,
Immigration Department Indicate III,
the movement away from the farm.
which did not become acute in M
state until 1923, has been halted an
that there will be an increase in tn
number Of farms operated in 1924 Oys
the number for 1923.
The season has been very fayorab
for sowing winter wheat and at leaJ
normal acreage has been sown. peI
haps 100000 acres more than was hsd
vested last summer. Winter wheat hi
been sown on many farms that wen
not operated ut all for the 1873 haryesN
and plowing has been done for sprin
crops on several such farms Most
the winter wheat has come up and Is h
fine condition, with plenty Of moistur
in the ground to carry 1t through th
winter.
Weather conditions have been fayOd
able for farm work during the pas
month and large amount Of groun
has been broken for next years crop
In the non-irrigated districts consJ
erable amount of new land has bee
broken and present indications are tha
much more raw land will be put
crops In 1924 than in 1873 Though thj
acreage planted to spring crops Will ID
pend very largely on the weather cod
ditlons prevailing from now until ned
July, II seems fairly certain that [
larger acreage will be planted for III
1924 harvest than was planted for had
vest this year. This will not necessad
lily mean n record acreage for IN
state, for the acreage under cultiya|
ton in 1923 was smaller than that I'd
1922.
Some fear Is expressed by eHper,
| enced agriculturists that farmers maj
permit themselves TO he too much ID
fluenced by the exceptionally fine cor1
crop grown this year and may increas,
their acreage of corn beyond justified
ton, sacrificing diversity for larG
production in a single crop. II shOula

had such a season as that OF 1893 i
the previous twenty years. The RAIN
fall between June l and Nov. ! was al
most double the normal rainfall, AM
corn and sorghums attained n growtl
which can not be expected again i
Colorado for good many years. Thes
crops, however, are among the mos
dependable crops grown in the state
and though 1t is not safe to build hope
for the future on the yields of 1873,
is generally conceded that the tw
crops should continue to account 10
one-third or more of the cultivate
acreage in the state one year with an
other.
