FRANCE REAFFIRMS POLICY
Reply to British Note Says Germany
Must Pay Debt.

Paris.-Germany can obtain evacua-

win no reduction in the amount she

that the question of legality of the

STATE FARMERS

DESPITE LOSS OF 5000 FARMS
FROM LAST YEAR, cows,
HOGS AND CHICKENS GAIN
IN NUMBERS, SAYS STATE I'M
MIGRATION BUREAU.

Colorado farmers are beginning
to appreciate the value of having a
few cows, some hogs and chickens
on their places, according to reports
from the office of the Colorado I'm
migration bureau. The increase has
been steady and rather rapid and at
present the numbers of each are
larger than ever before in the state s
history.
Reports of county assessors to the
immigration department show some
83,S24 brood sows on farms in this
state, an increase of more than five
per cent over last year. which is
startling when one considers the fact
that 5000 fewer farms are being op-
Grated.
Figures for hogs show total Of
256,631 in the state, an increase Of
"a per cent over 1872.
The reports show 30,SO2 heifers
broken as milk COWS in 1922, an in.
crease of five per cen. over the pre-
vious year. There is perhaps as much
90 AhsSSh pei SShs SON >
on the farms of the state at this
time than ever before at this season.
The total figures for dairy cattle
give a slight decrease compared to
last year, due, it IS noted by the i'm
migration authorities to the fact
that some assessors have placed con-
siderable numbers of them into the
runge cattle class tc obtnin lower tax
rates.
The number of hens on the farms
this year, as reported by the county
assessors, was l,940,367, compared
with 1,833,362 last year. The nc
tual number of hens on the farms is
considerably over this number, Us
some assessors did not report fully
on this item.
