BENTON HITS PACKERS

Otis L. Benton, prominent banker
of Oberlin made short talk before
the meeting adjourned. Mr. Benton
said in part:
''The live stock industry is the
greatest resource of our state and
should be protected in the most per-
feet manner. The farmer and his
boys and girls who raise the cattle
and the corn to feed them are
entitled free and open market
at the packing houses centers for
the products of the soil. The great
work and the duty Of the Kansas
Cattlemen's Association is to use
every means at their command to see
to it that our farmers, one and all,
receive a square deal. When the
cattle feeder is forced to accept a
price for his finished product that
causes serious loss, and he is un-
able to send his children to col
lege: unable to give the comforts
of life to which they are entitled and
it is an imposition upon this great
the. small. farmer that should be re-
medied in a prompt and in no un-
certain manner.
In myjudgment a campaign pub
licity should be inaugurated.i If the
1900 eligible to membership in this
state were invited to join this associ-
alton and become active members at
81 90 annual dues, the next time the
president and secretary of this ASS
ociation goes to Chicago for confer
ence the packers will set up and take
notice.
II was greatly pleased at the annual
address of President Tod. He is a
man who calls spade spade and L
should like to have his address publish
ed broad cast and read by every farm
er and cattleman in our beloved
State of Kansas.
Mr.. Benton made a motion to have
president Tod's address given wide
publicity which carried unanimously

MARkEr REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. %. 1916
/ Cattle sold strong today, following
a good market yesterday, and stronger
prices last week. There is no pro-
nounced advance on steers, but the
market is gradually working to a
more satisfactory place for sellers.
Some good fed steers sold at SS 25 TO
1886 today, the top steers being
branded Westerns fed in Kansas.
Bulk of the short fed steers sell
at S7-25 to $500. Several shipments
of pulp fed cattle received this week at
81. IS to S8.05, and some cottonseed
meal and hulls fed cattle from Texas
and Oklahoma at ST.25 to $500. But
cher cattle are selling firm, choice
heavy cows at S6.65 to 81, fair to good
cows So. 10 to Sc. IS. bulk of the heifers
So. Is to 1925, veal calves IS. so to
and the supply at all points has been
moderate recently, indicating small
numbers bearing on the market at
this time. The modest strength
shown in fat cattle is stimulating
stockers and feeders, and prices look
high.- kaBsas rshtiifgFss CO bs- sfle
best buyer for Stockers and feeders.
although it is said there are almost
enough cattle in the state to fill the
pastures this season. Kansas is a
cattle state, having large areas of
of strictly grazing land. while some
other states can pillow pastures atwilI,
hence Kansas is always in the market
for cattle. Choice stockers and feed
ers bring 81 to s7.75, plain cattle
around $3.50, prices on an average Is
to 25 higher than week ago.
Hogs sold 10 to Is higher today,
order buyers making a fast market
for their kinds, which includes weights
from $50 TO 260 lbs, but packer buyers
paid the top price, So. 35, bulk of sales
S7.95 to $3.50. Receipts are lighter
this week, 400 head today Condit-
Ions from the selling side CONTINUE
favorable, killers able to dispose of
immense quantities of fresh and cured
meats, and the trade in lard showing
improvement since the middle of the
month.
Sheep and lamb receipts 5000 head,
market slow, and barely steady.
Killers are fighting against the very
high prices prevailing, but producers
hold the balance of power, and
appear amply able TO hold prices up.
Best lambs are quotable at s10s75 to
sIl.OO, fed ewes s7.2O to s7.72 fed
yearlings SO. 35 Co $1,000, feeding lambs
up to s10.40.

Market Correspondent :

All Sears, the veteran Central Branch
mail clerk, used to tell this good
story: He said that during Cleveland's
first administration a Democrat got
the job of postmaster at a station on
the west end of branch ana after he
was installed into Office AL noticed
that he got no mail for his car at
that station and, in accordance with
the regulations, he made report OF
the curious circumstances TO the de-
parement- 1t took some time to go
through all the red tape of the higher
up officials, but during the wait there
was no mail brought to the train
from that particular station. When
the papers finally came to the post
master calling his attention to the
irregularity he promptly wrote the
department, saying: 1.-THE mail sack
is not clear full yet, but as soon as it
is will take it to the train.-Con~
cordia Kansan.
