COTTONS BIG INCREASE
Government Report of Condition
Caused Raise Of Seventy-One
Points Tuesday

New York, Sept. 4.-The Govern
ment report making the condition of
the coming cotton crop only 6S.2 per
cent, compared with 74.S last year and
1872 two years ago, was followed by
one of the most sensational advances
that has over occurred on a Govern
ment report day during recent years.
Private condition figures had prepar-
ed the trade for a bullish report and
the market had advanced very rapidly
since the middle Of last month, but the
official figures proved even less ia
vorable than anticipated and inspired
a general movement.
The South was credited with selling
on the advance, but both trade inter-
ests and Spectators were heavy buy
ers and, while offerings were heavy
enough to cause slight reactions, the
general tendency of the market was
upward. December contracts sold at
12.S4c in the late trading. practically
the 13c level and 211 points or s1O.5O
per bale above the low record of Aug.
H.. Closing prices were or 4 points
off from the best, but the final tone
wab. firm at net gain of 67 to II
poihts as compared with closing fig
urds of last Friday.

ne of forage.
2AIt ipsqres the farmer against
loss of crops in seasons of drouth.
3-The silo stores in small compass

4t-Affotdsa the most economical
means of preserving feed.
Storage placed in the silo keeps
at a uniform quality.
6-Silage possesses a higher feeding
valae than does the same forage when
dry cured. Feeders believe that the
silo doubles the value of the forage
crop.
7I-Both grain and legume crops
ma} te used to fill the silo. Corn,
kafir, milo and sorghum make excell-
ent silage. Legumes do not keep we'll
unless mixed with corn or kafir
S--Silage may be used either to sun
plant or supplement pasture during
the summer and fall.
9LIt cheapens materially the cost
of production of beef. milk, pork and
mutton.
1o-It enables the farmer to keep
more livestock, which promotes the
rotation of crops and preservation OF
the fertility Of his soil.-Okla. farmer
