LOCAL MARKETS
NOW Quite ACTIVE
ON COTTON AND COT
TON SEED
$40 BALES GINNED To DATE
Local Buyers Paying Good
Prices For All Cotton and
Seed Brought to this Market

The Washington cotton n d
seed markets are now quite ac-
tive, and both ginning plants To-
Gated here are putting in full
time.
Some of the cotton being ginned
here is brought from quite dis
tance, as patrons get their gin
ming done promptly, our market
on seed is always the highest, and
local buyers are paying fancy
prices for cotton.
The local cotton and seed bust
ness to date, as reported by our
ginners and buyers, is as follows:
Cotton ginned, 500 bales; cotton
bought, 365 bales; cotton seed
bought, 440 tons.
The average price paid for seed
bought is about S20.50 per ton,
which means that about s9,020.00
has been paid out for this item,
while about S38, 1880 has been
expended for cotton. There has
been a local market on cotton
only since the new gin has been
running, which accounts for less
cotton being bought than ginned.
The market conditions at the
time of going to press are as fol-
lows: Short cotton, 103 to 113
cents; staple cotton, IL to p cts,
depending on grade and length of
staple.

Postal Deposit Savings

POSTMASTER General Frank Fl.
i Hitchcock made public the other
day the latest available figures show
ing that the deposits In postal savings
repositories have now reached the
sum of $2S,0Oo,0O0. The system was
inaugurated January 3, 1911. but
most of the deposits have been made
within the last year.
The deposits represent 100000 indi-
viduals, making an average of $50 per
depositor. The system ia now operat-
ed in 1878 postoffices, in every one
of the forty-eight states, including 644
branch postofices.
According to the figures compiled
by the controller of the currency the
total amount OF the deposits In the
savings banks of the country in 1911
was $4,212, 583,598. This amount was
deposited in 1884 banks by 9,794,647
individual depositors, and the average
savings hank account for each depos-
itor was $4,000. Comparison of these
statistics shows that the average
amount held by each savings bank
depositor was about five times the av-

FEEDING CATTLE
FOR FIRST TIME
Profit Depends on Steady, Con-
siStent Gains From
Rati0nS.

Those who are feeding cattle for the
first time this season shouldremember
that getting bunch of steers on full
feed is a matter that requires about a
months time. High-pressure feeding is
an entirely different proposition from
ordinary rations and the animal must
gradually get accustomed to the
change If he is to continue to make
consistent gains throughout the feed
ing period. Most feeders prefer to
start their cattle on grass, giving a
few stalks of fodder corn a day to
each steer and gradually increasing.
The change Is then made to snapped
corn fed IN. the hunks, the final change
then being made to husked corn or
whatever form the grain is fed in.
Every time the ration is changed
such changes should be made gradual
ly. This applies especially to the first
few weeks in which the feeding is
started and to the latter period Of the
feeding operation, when there is the
more danger of getting the stock off
feed. And remember, the profit in
feeding cattle depends on steady, con-
sistent gains, meaning good returns
for the feed consumed, every time
they get off feed meaning just so
much lost time.
