in its consumption and thereby main
tain a reasonable price.
Second-To increase the production
of cereals in order to guard against
a probable rise in values of imported
cereals or even in order to profit BY
exporting the surplus of our grain
crops, acting on the proposal of our
minister of agriculture and its confor-
nifty with the advice of our ministry,

petition of African Crop
Eliminated by European
War Conditions

\ khedival decree limiting the acre
age to he planted to cotton in Egypt
next season, in order to increase the
growing of cereals, will have an indi-
rect but wholesome effect upon prices
Tor Egyptian cotton, the staple fiber
crop of the Salt River Valley, accord
ing to President w S. Dorman of the
Mesa Cotton Exchange, and prominent
south side growers. The enforcement
of the decree means that competition
Nv Egyptian cotton in the Liverpool
and other foreign markets will cease,
IT he much lessened, with a resulting
rise in the demand for the Arizona
product.
The fact that Egypt could ship great
quantities of cotton direct to the Eng
lish textile factories caused a certain
slackness in the demand and CORE
spending drop in the prices of Arizona
cotton abroad. And as the foreign
market for the Salt River Valley fiber
is sure to be developed next season
more than it was last, the elimination
of the competitor will certainly have
an effect on the prices received mere
The outbreak of the war and the
immediate shutting of the English
market diverted much African cotton
to the New York market, where it
again clashed with the home product.
Although Arizona cotton was just as
good as Egyptian, it could not be
placed among the eastern spinners as
cheaply. owing to rate conditions
a surprising feature Of Mr.. Dormans
statement was that no less than
$4,000 worth of Arizona cotton had
been sold within the past season.
But the crop is not all picked, ginned
and marketed vet, and a conservative
estimate places its final value not less
than $4,000.

the Official Journal dated September
-, 1914, of the khedival decree relative
to the restriction of cotton cultivation

Kansas City Market Letter
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jal
tByJ A. Rickart, CorrespondenU

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 5, 1914. All classes of cattle gained 10 to 25 cents last week, and the market showed a healthy tone through the week. Supply today at market points totals heavier than expectations, but the Is,ooo head received here were disposed of at steady to strong prices, and trade was active. Some COW sales were strong, and stockers and feeders were also firm. A feature noticeable in the last week is that buyers pay more attention to quality and finish, and long fed cattle made more prog. ress toward making just return to feeders than was figured for them some weeks ago. Nothing strictly prime has been here re- cently, though some good to choice heavy steers brought 8.85 today, and heifers sold last week at 8.75 and 900. The tendency among feeders is to hurry ship ments to market, although corn is cheaper than a month ago, and weather is ideal for feeding. For this reason moderate gains, if there are any gains, are expected this month, and if this is true, to pursue in further, the rise in prices that all agree will come this winter, will be more rapid after the first of February. Some fed Colorado cattle sold at 500 last week, and fair to good pulp steers are quoted at :. 50 to S.oo, pulp cows 600 to $50. Meal fed cattle from oil mills are running freely, and selling at 6. 50 to S.oo.

GOVERNMENT MAKES
 LARGE TIMBER OFFERING
(Continued from page one)

source. MT. Graves says, how ever, that the kaibab Forest is one of the most beautiful in America, and gives assurance that the marketing of the mature crop of timber will not be allowed to mar the scenic beauty of the re- zion.
 In accordance with the timber sale policy of the government the stumpage will be disposed of to the highest bidder. In order to attract sufficient investment to assure the building of the railroad and of the necessary lumber mills at least a billion feet of timber had to be offered. The invest- ment necessary to make this timber accessible will amount to more than S2,ooo, ,ooo. By placing this quantity of timber before the lumbermen of the country the of ficials of the Forest Service be- lieve that the development of ex- tensive areas in southern Utah may be looked for, because the necessary railway will render ac- cessible resources which have heretofore been undeveloped. The whole region is rich in agricultural land, in cattle and sheep range, and in coal and copper deposits, as we'll as in timber.
 Bids for the timber will be re- ceived up to the middle of June, 1914, and three years will be allowed for the building ot the railroad and mills and twenty-five years for the cutting of the timber. The stumpage rates, however, will be readjusted at the end of each five-year period of the con- tract, the readiustments being based on the then current lumber prices.
 By the end of the contract period, the forest officers say, the young trees lett on the area frs, cut over will be ready for cutting, so that by the system of lumber ing which the government will re- quire operations can continue per manently in this lumber belt. The annual cut will be not less than forty million feet, most of which will be readily sold in the large consuming lumber markets in Utah and Colorado.
 The kaibab Forest is one of the most heavily timbered in the southwest, the stand of timber being broken only occasionally by beautiful meadows or openings locally known as parks. Lumber men who have visited 1t consider the country ideally adapted to logging. There are altogether, two billion feet of timber, of which more than one billion feet are mature and ready for cutting.

CATTLE GROWERS PROTEST
 AGAINST FOREST ELIMINATION

to give stockmen the desired and necessary protection over their property, which in certain meas ure the government has encou- aged him in developing, means certain ruin and destruction for the stockmen who will be affected by such eliminations of lands now within the forest reserve, and it is the wish and earnest desire of the members of this Association that such steps as seem to be desirable and just, be immediately taken to have such eliminations on part of the forestry department, if they are actually contemplated, be de- | ferred to such time as there might be other means provided for the protection of the stockmen who would necessarily be ruined by such elimination. It is also de- sired by this association to state that they are heartily in favor of some form of lease that might be applicable to the uses and condi- tions of this section of the ranges, and if it is found advisable for the proposed elimination to be made, then apply form of lease law to be supervised over by the Forestry Department insuring protection to all permittees of the National For est.
