MARKET REPORTS
Los ANGELES PRODUCE MARKET


Butter advanced one cent on the Los
Angeles produce exchange yesterday,
going to 2s1ac pound. 1t opened
strong and none was offered until the
bids reached this figure. A car of east
ern butter, to arrive before the first of
July, sold for 271Ac, which seems to
indicate that dealers do not expect any
great decline in the price before that
time. Eggs and cheese quotations re-
manned unchanged Eggs were easier
as bidders would not meet the offer
ings at the present figure of p Z c
ceiptS being partly responsible.
There was good supply of aspara-
gus on the market and the best grade
of green sold for from &C to 7c. Light
green of a smaller variety sold for as
low as S1.25 a crate. There are few
more string beans coming in now and
a pound. There Will not be much ac-
tivity along this line until shipments
are materially increased. Onions are
still easy with more on the market than
are needed to meet the demand. Sweet
potatoes are practically cleaned up and
the new crop has not vet started to
come in. Other vegetables are unchans-
ed. ...
The first pineapples to come on the
market for about a week We're received
by one house and brought &c to 10c. All
shipments of this fruit are small ana
all of the large houses are having
trouble to keep any in stock. Most of
them are cleaned up as soon as re-
ceived. Strawberries were a little more
plentiful and went down to ~ c to Sc
a box. Receipts should be more plenti-
full from now on. The only apples to
come on the market were taken out of

Stock Breeders Hold Quarterly
8& & Meeting,

The Decatur County Improved
S Stock Breeders Association held
4 their quarterly meeting last Satur-
G day in the Commercial Club rooms
at Leon.
Owing to the hot dry weather with
\ corn cutting and silo filling, the at
y tendance was small. The president
being absent, vice president Lewis
CARRIER took charge of the meeting.
Z Arrangements were made to conduct
live stock show on similar lines as
heretofore in connection with the
Farmers Institute, the second week
of December.
There will be classes for draft
horses and mare colts; bull and
heifer calves, any beef breed; boars
Y and gifts; and best pair of lambs,
one male and one female, to have
been born since January list, 1913.
One class of yearling colts, horses
and mares, will De shown together
in this class. (The foregoing will
make eight classes) There is some
talk Of making up a class for two
year old colts, the exhibitors paying
one dollar each and dividing the
purse with the best three colts. This
class will have nothing to do with
the Stock Breeders Association, al
though the secretary has been "a Sked
to look after it, and | hope to see
everybody that has a good two year
old colt, bring it in and help to
make a good horse show. TO have
the good and bad points of your colt
compared with others will be worth
more than a dollar to anyone inter-
eSted in horse breeding
1t was decided to circulate sub
scription lists among the farmers, a
great many farmers having no de-
sire to become members of the assO
citation yet who would be willing to
give something towards supporting
the stock show or special premium
for stock not already classified.
We trust every farmer will be
booster and help as much as possible
because the more we can offer in the
way of premiums and other induce
ments the more we can draw from
other sources. Capt. J. D. Brown Of
fers $1,000 to the best draft colt
raised in Decatur county this year,
exhibited at the Farmers Institute
in December. Dairy classes will be
discontinued from the next Farmers
Institute, and arrangements are be-
ing made to hold a special Demon
stration of dairy COWS in the early
part of March, 1914, at Leon, at
which time the milk produced by
each COW will be tested and weighed
for butter fat. and the premiums
awarded to the most profitable COW
for dairy purposes. This demons ira
tion will be open to any COW owned
in Decatur county Of any breed or
grade. A good many COWS freshen
in March and farmers generally are
not very busy at that season of the
year. We trust as many as possibly
can will select their. best producers
and have them tested, there will be
no expense except the trouble and
care while being tsted There should
be at least 20 cows present at this
special Dairy Cow Demonstration.

CHARLEY CARTER
TALKS Of INDIANS
ALSO STATES THAT FEDERAL
BUILDING WILL NOT BE CON-
TRAcTEO FOR BEFORE SUMMER.

The joint committee OF which Con
/ gressman Carter is a member which
has been investigating the affairs Of
the Indians in Washington, Oregon
and California, has finished its work,
but the committee agreed to give out
no report until they file their report
with congress.
1t is said that two persons were
summarily dismissed from the Indian
service in the northwest. They were
dismissed without any explanations
being made, and the presumption is
that the committee found something
crooked in the dealings, and made a
partial report to the department Of
state having these things under its
jurisdiction.
The Yakima Indians in Washing
ton are said to be the most indus
trious and thrifty of all the Indian
tribes and the interests Of those In
dians were especially looked after.
Under the terms of the reclamation
service in that state, the Indians are
entitled to one-half of the water for
irrigation purposes, and it is alleged
that they were receiving only one
tenth of the water
Mr.. Carter when asked concerning
the federal building for Ardmore, stat
ed that every congressman was doing
his utmost to bring appropriations to
his district and that the departments
had made an inexorable rule under
which each appropriation must take
its turn. The Ardmore federal build
ing was made No. 81 Mr. Carter be-
lieves, in a bill providing for los
buildings and 90 of these must be got
ten out of the way before Ardmore /
gets its building. The delay was caus-
ed by the long time required to per-
