Sioux City, Feb. 14.-Too many
cattle arrived at the local market for
the closing day of the week. The
strain of heavy marketing the past
few days resulted in a sharp break
in price and the fact that the local
packers had more live cattle on hand
than could be slaughtered tended TO
curtail the demand even more today.
There is never a very reliable demand
on a Saturday for fat cattle and what
business done was On a weaker basis.
Market for practically all grades OF
killing cattle this week has been de
cidedly uneven, light supplies Mon
day and Tuesday aided sellers in get
ting ready action and there was a
slight advance noted. but with in
creased supplies a evers in condi-
tons was noted, and the drift TO
prices was towards a lower level,
closing quotations on both steers and
she stuff being reported as 15Q35c
lower than a week ago.
Stock cattle trade did not appear
to be affected to any great extent and
the slight touch of betterment noted
early in the session on attractive
quality stuff was held to the finish,
while medium to common kinds are
rated as about steady for the week.
Hogs came in liberal numbers
today, but with the shippers again IN
the deal with liberal orders, trade was
judged to be steady to strong. Ship
pers purchased supplies first, but To-
cal packers finally followed their
lead. Early business tops landed at
$500, while the bulk of sales were
at a spread of s7.70@7.95.
Sheep house trade conditions were
similar to yesterdays in respect to
prices, and the moderate assortment
was absorbed on practically steady
figures.

What Made Kansas?

Comparatively few wears have
passed since the sunflower state was
known as bleeding Kansas" Not
once. but several times a great pro-
portion of her settlers pulled out
and hunted other locations, because
of poor crops and one disaster after
another. Today this is all changed.
The settlement and development is
permanent-iargelv by reason of one
product. alfalfa. The total acreage
in Kansas is now 1850. 900 and the
alfalfa crop value is SOS. 433, $50,
The lesson is a simple but thorough

GRAIN RIPENS FAST
GENERAL HARVESTON
Whea, Affected In Spots by Heat
and Rust

The small grain harvest is coming
on rapidly in the north half Of the
county. The south half will be q
week later. Binders are cutting
barley and oats, and a few fields OF
wheat. The grains are ali reported
good except wheat. which has been
affected in spots by both heat and
rust. and its weld will be consider.
ably below the high record of last
year. This condition IS reported
more noticeable north than south.
In fact, the first reports of rust came
from North Dakota, then gradually
worked south into northern South
Dakota. Parties from Faux county
on the north. say the wheat improved
as they came south to Miller. Con.
tinued Improvement is noted on south
of Miller. The varieties sown here
are Velvet chaff or Golden Fife,
Marcus. Blue Stem and Macaroni.
The MacaronI wheat shows very little
if anv effect of rust.
Barley and rye are in shock, and
the binder is rapidly taking care OF
the oats crop. after which follows
wheat cutting. Flax and potatoes
promise a good yield.
Stacks of the first alfalfa cutting
are noticed on many farms. The
second crop is about ready, and
third crop will likely mature. Ar
immense crop of prairie hay awaits
the mover.
The ccrn acreage is large. and the
crop never looked better at this time
of year. Many fields are tasseling,
and some silking. The most forward
fields are a tribute to the farmers
good work.
Pastures are good. all live stock is
in excellent cordition. and readily
bring high prices.
