COLORADO CROP NEWS FROM
STATE IMMIGRATION BOARD

Reports of about $4,000 farmers to
the State migration department in
dicate that the acreage of corn grown
in Colorado this year will be greater
than the acreage of winter wheat, for
the first time in about eight years.
The acreage Of corn this year will be
the greatest ever grown in the state,
while the area of winter wheat to be
harvested will be 100000 acres for
the first time since 1917.
Approximately $4,000 farmers will
report to the immigration department
this year through county assessors,
or somewhat fewer than reported last
year. The acreage of crops cultivated
on many of the farms reporting will
be less than last year and the total
acreage in cultivation will be the
lowest in several years, due principal
ly to unfavorable climatic conditions
in certain districts and to unsatis-
factory financial conditions among the
farmers as result of low prices for
farm products and other causes. The
principal loss in cultivated acreage
will be in winter wheat, though there
will be some decrease from last year
in acreage Of rye, potatoes and few
truck crops. There will be substantial
increases in the acreage Of corn, sorg-
huns, millet and few other spring
crops.
Many careful observers of the
development of farming in the non-
irrigated districts of eastern Colorado
believe that the decrease in acreage Of
wheat grown and a consequent in
crease in acreage of corn, sorghums
and other feeds will ultimately prove
blessing for the farmers in that
district, though some of them will
suffer severe financial loss this year.
In the past those farmers who have
always raised considerable acreage
Of feed crops and have kept dairy
cattle, hogs and other livestock and
have paid some attention to raising
poultry have obtained the best average
returns over long period of years.
Corn and forage crops always give
some return in stock feed, while a
certain percentage Of the wheat is al
ways an absolute failure in unfavor-
able seasons.

screaGe devoted to corn and other
feed crops 10 larger than before. and
livestock are being introduced gena1-
ally to consume the increased feed
supply.
The prices Of poultry and products
have nuetusted much less in the past
three years than have the prices OF
most other farm products, and farmers
who have raised and marketed con-
siderable numbers Of chickens. tur-
keys and other poultry are very gen.
orally well satisfied with the returna.
This year poultry il reported on fully
80 percent Of the farms in the moro
important agricultural districts and in
some cases the numbers reported are
large.
The number Of dairy cattle on the
farms in nearly all sections Of the
state has increased rather rapidly in
the past three years, and reports this
year show that the increase is continu-
ing. In some sections of the western
slope farms that have heretofore
been operated as cattle ranches are
being converted to dairy farms and
better results are being obtained than
under the old ranch system. On most
Of such farms beef cattle still are be-
ing produced but less extensively
than formerly, while dairy cattle are
increasing in numbers each year.
There is also notable increase in the
number Of dairy cattle in many of tho
semi mountains douities, where in
times past few farmers have produced
enough mihs to supply their own
needs.

ROAD BUILDING
FOR NE ETUCHEN
Construction Work Will be
Started Shortly on Essex
Ave-, State Highway

METUCHEN, Feb. 26-Prelinli-
nary preparations for resumption Of
construction work on the state high
way, Essex avenue, have been no.
ticed during the past lew days, and
the contractor expects to make a
active start on the job about the
first of March.
During the past week a force Of
men have been employed in the n
stallation of cross drains between
Lake street and the Highbridge.
With these drains in place and the
removal OF all Instructions along
the road during the cold weather,
the way is now clear for the neces-
sarv excavating and placing of curb
forms at the earliest possible date.
Equipment is arriving daily for
use in rebuilding the gravel ira ck
bridge, and the road building
equipment and mixing plant have
been completely overhauled in PREF
aration for the spring time rush.
Comparatively little work remains
to be done on that portion of the
road west of Highbridge as the con-
crete foundation was all placed oe-
fore the arrival of freezing weather.
The remaining work on that por.
tion of the road consists of the lay
ing of about one mile Of warrenite
on the northern portion Of the road,
the installation of eurbs and gut
ters to the borough line and the
| building up of the shoulders from
the borough line westward.

MATAWAN WANTS CITY
MAIL DELIVERY SYSTEM

MATAWAN, Feb. 2S:-Fres mail
delivery for Matuwan borough seems
to be an assured fact, according to
the information given to the council
last night. The question, however, is
whether or not Matawan will have
the village or city mail delivery sys-
TEN. Postmaster Forman R. Thomp-
son informed the council that for
the past four days an inspector has
been at the local Office investigating
conditions prior to starting a. deliv-
cry system here. The inspector
recommends the village system for
the borough.
Mr.. Thompson pointed out that
the village system means that the
man employed as carrie receives
$500 year to start, does not wear
uniforl and does not deliver par
Gel post matter. U..der a city system
the postma.- receives $1,000 a year
to start. is in uniform and delivers
all mail matter, including parcel
post. In order TO have a city delivery
system town must do a postal busi-
ness of more than $4,000 per year
and have a population of at least
2,500. Mr.. Thompson reported that
the postoffice was doing more than
the required $4,000 worth of busi-
ness and that the only drawback
seemed to be in the fact that the
population is 2,250.
The matter was placed in the
hands of Attorney J. r. Lefferts. who
is to go to Washington, D. c., if nee
essary in order to obtain the system
required by the borough.

The two women had lived in the
place which is in Kruesler lane in

Ter. When Patrolman Wilbur ar
'ived in answer to the summons of

no coal and the only heat was from
wood that they secured in the woods
and this was about exhausted. They
had been i'll about week and no
medical attention.

'CARTERET COAL
ACTION TAKEN
Acute Fuel Crisis Practically
Ended by Efforts of Mayor
MuIvihiII

CARTERET, Feb. 2S-The acute
fuel crisis which has existed in the
borough for more than two months
practically ended last week, when
at the personal solicitation of May
or Thomas j. Mulvihill three cars
loaded with anthracite coal were un-
loaded here for immediate delivery.
1t was not until Mayor Mulvihill
communicated with the fuel admin
istrator and subsequent pleas to the
coal companies that sufficient fuel
was marked for shipment TO Car
teret.
When the situation was at its
worst, Mr.. Mulvihill took steps to
secure whatever quantity of coal he
could, to relieve the situation. Two
car loads of coal were delivered over
two weeks ago for distribution
among those in dire need.
To facilitate distribution of coal
among the needy the local police
force has been enlisted to aid III
coping with the situation. Word to
any of the police officers or at head
quarters brought an instant re-
sponse. These steps were a result of
numerous pleas sent to the mayor
direct, when local dealers declared
that they had no fuel on hand.
While the schools of the borough
were threatened at one time to be
closed for lack of fuel, this action
however, was averted when the
members of the Board of Education
at q special meeting authorized the
purchase of coal at a profiteeripg
price, said to have been the highest
ever paid in the borough.
A marked decrease in the con-
sumption of coal was noted in the
last two days with the fair weather
in rule, the police say.

.|SFOUND DEAD
At So. ANbOY
Michael Kenny'S Body Found
in Apartment-Dead Since
Monday is Belief

SOUTH AMBOY, Feb. 2S.-The
body of Michael Kenny, believed by
the police to be about eighty years
old, was found dead on the floor of
his three room apartment at lis
George street, late yesterday after
noon by Raymon Cusick, son of
John Cusick of this city, the land
lord. Young Cusick was sent to in
vestigate the conditions of the water
pipes OF the building and upon
reaching the house found that the
family occupying the lower floor had
gone on q visit, went to the upstairs
rooms to inquire of Kenny the con-
dition Of the pipes of that sect-~-
of the building. Cusick found She
door locked and no response to his
repeated knock made him a bit cur
ious and on further investigation
found the door locked with the key
on the inside. He procured a lad
der and peered in the front room
window where he saw the mans
body lying face down on the floor
Cusick notified Acting Chief of
Police Thomas Gleason, who broke
the door open and at once notified
Coroner Hillpot, who gave permis-
sion for the removal of the body.
George Gundrum, Jr., undertaken,
took the body to his morgue where
it awaits the arrival of relatives. Mr..
Gundrum said last evening that the
man had been dead since Monday
morning.
Kenny is little known in this city,
having resided here only a short
time. Several cards bearing the ad-
dress of F. w. Apgar, 10 Cannonbury
! road, Jamaica, l.. l., and asking that
the party be notified in case of acci-
dent, were found in the clothing. APP
gar was notified of the death of Ken
| ny.
The condition of the kitchen of the
| deceased man led the police to be-
lieve that the man was in the act of
| getting ready his breakfast when he
| was stricken. A large pool of blood
| about the mans head gave rise to
| the opinion that the man had had
! a hemorrage. When he fell he mar
rowly escaped falling on what is be-
| lieved to be a burning oil stove.
| Three pancakes were made and
| placed on a plate, while three others
were burnt to a crisp on the fire.
| The police were unable to find out
| just what business the man was or
| had been in. Several letters ad-
| dressed to him were found by the
| police. One dated February 23 from
daughter, telling of a proposed
trip to Havana. The postmark on
the letter was Bridgeton, N. J. An
| other from the Sister Superior OF
| Morris Hall. From the contents the
| police We're of the opinion that the
man had tried to gain admission tc
that institute. Another from a Me-
tuchen Realtor, advising Kenny that
he was in a position to sell him lots
in that place. Three bank books
| with substantial balances were also
| found Besides one in the First Ma
| tional Bank of this city, there was
one of the Jamaica Savings Bank
| and the Emigrant National Bank OF
| New York City.
| One of the letters was addressed
to Kenny at Keyport where it is un-
| derstood he had resided previous to
| his coming to South Amboy.

WOMAN IS SHOT.
HUSBAND HELD
Captain of Coal Barge Says
Gun Went Off Accidental
Iy, Striking Wife

TOTTENVILLE. Feb. 2S-Nelson
French. f1fty-seven years old, cap
tain of the coal barge Cora, lying
in the cove off Rossville, is being
held by the police on a charge of
felon;ous assault and his wife Eliza
French, sixty years old, is at the
Richmond Memorial hospital with a
bullet wound in her left breast
above the heart, which he says was
accidently done while he was show

not until II O'Clock, nearly three
hours after that the police were
notified of the occurrence.
French with his wife came to the
Tottenville police station about IL
o'clock and reported the shooting.
Both declared that it was acci-
dental. French told Detective Ser
geant Schley of the Eight Branch
Bureau, who is making an investi-
cation that he was showing the gun
to Captain Andrew Linn Of the
barge Hatteras lying alongside Of
the barge Cora when it accidentty
went off and the bullet entered the
woman's left breast and went out
of her back.
In spite of the fact that both
French and Linn say that it was
accidental, the former was locked
up in the 65th precinct station.
West New Brighton, without bail on
a charge of felonious assault and
Linn will be used as a materiol
witness when wanted. An ambu-
lance was called from the hospital
and DIR. Wilder rushed the woman
to that institution where it was said
this morning that she would recover.
French will be arraigned in court
today on the charge.
