STATE CROP VALUE
GREATER THAN 1871

/
Due to substantial increases in the
prices OF small grains and corn since
harvest time and the comparatively
high price of hay resulting from con-
tinued drought in several western
states, the total value of all crops pro-
duced in Colorado this year, at prices
prevailing on December l. is some-
what greater than the value Of 1921
crops on the same date last year. In
dications are, however that farmers
have not realized so much this year
from crops actually marketed as they
did in 1921 and most OF the crops re-
naming to be marketed are bringing
low prices.
The price OF wheat and other small
grains was about the same at market
time this year as last, but the price
has advanced materially since that
time. Reports indicate, however,
that more than so per cent of the
wheat crop was marketed before the
price advance began and considers
BILE amount of the grain remaining
will be retained for local use. The
price Of corn has been good since mar
ket time. but the amount of Colorado's
corn actually marketed as grain is
not large, most OF it being consumed
as feed on the farms. The price of
hay has also been higher all season
than it was last year. but the hay crop
cut short by drought and the amount
Of hay available for market this year
was below the average.
The potato crop this year has been
the largest In the history of the state,
but prices have been low from the
time the crop began to be marketed
and shipments to this time have not
been so heavy as those Of last year.
The price still remains low and the
impression prevails that It will not
advance much because Of the fact that
the national crop is one OF the largest
ever grown.
Tho fruit crop this year was the
largest in volume the state has ever
produced. there being more than an
average yield OF every variety Of tree
fruit. Prices have been very low,
however. and growers have mot realis-
ed very much as they have often OBJ
tanned for much smaller crops. Prices
for peaches and apples have besn
particularly low and apples remaining
on ths farms still are bringing unsst-
isfactory returns.
Reports OF county assessors to tho
State immigration Department indi-
cate that the acreage in cultivation is
the largest in the history OF the state.
and total crop production is close b
the record mark. The fact that far.
mers have not realized SO much -
they have often realized for smaller
crops In the past Is due to conditions
which have affected the farming In
dustry unfavorable all over the coun-
try.

]. Allen Of Kansas said today in an
interview.
Having just returned from a visit
to the occupied industrial area. Allen
summed up his eye and ear witness
impressions as follows:
/. There are few outward indica-
tons of military occupation; Ger
mans are well dressed and don't look
hungry.
2. Germans in the Ruhr don't at
tempt to conceal the fact the policy
Of passive resistance is doomed to
failure. 1t is realized a reasonable
reparations offer must be made.
8. The atmosphere Of calm may
be due to the fact the French have
deported 10000 German railroad
employees who might have caused
trouble.
Collapse of the mark is no indica-
ton of the economic situation in
Germany, Allen said.
Industrial development is amaz-
ing" he said. In no district Of the
United States has there been such
a revival of building as the Ruhr
has witnessed since the war.
This has convinced me Germany
is in far better condition than the
value of the mark would Indicate.
Zone cannot visit the Ruhr and
see that most impressive Industrial
district of the world without belev-
ing Germany has the capacity to
produce an honest endeavor to pay
her PREPARATIONS.
Allen described the French occu-
patton as IAN apparently normal
condition of affairs"
Il went into the Ruhr,' he said,
prepared TO see a sullen, hostile
people in the midst of disorder, dom
mated by great bodies Of naughty
soldiers.
Il didn't see more than 1000 sol
diers during my trip to the heart OF
the Ruhr."
Allen said he was in Gelsenkir-
chen just after the communists
gained their first coup and in Dus-
seldorf when the French executed a
German for sabotage.
