FIRST CARLOAD OF COTTON
 SHIPPED FROM MOHANE co

The first carload of cotton ever shipped from Mohave county, went out from the ranch of Emory Mor- how, netting the lucky owner the sum of $l,0OO above all expense. The cot ton was principally of the Pima var iety and was the best ever shipped from the state. Mr. Morrow had 30 acres planted to cotton on his Big Sandy ranch, but we did not learn what the yield per acre was, as the picking has not yet been completed. 1t is understood that several hun dred acres will be planted to this grade of cotton this coming year.
 The Big Sandy is ideal for the growing of cotton, being free from the pests that are infestinE the older cot ton sections, and is also one of the best alfalfa growing parts of the state. Fruits, garden truck and prac- tically all crops grown on scmi-trop- ical regions may Le successfully grown there.-Kingman Miner.

HARDING URGES FARMERS COOPERATIVE MARKETING

President Harding in a letter reat at the opening session of the National Council of Farmer Cooperative Mar. keting association declared that he knew of no "single movement that promises more help to award present relief and permanent betterment of agricultural conditions than a coop erative organization of farmers tC market their products
 The presidents letter was read by Senator Eamst, republican, of Ken lucky, to whom it had been address ed as a greeting to the council. De claring he wanted the government to do "everything within reason and sound procedure" for the aid of farmers, Mr. Harding said he was "still more anxious that the farmers shall themselves cooperate to make the governments efforts doubly effic- aCiouS.
 After explaining that press of pub lie business prevented him from at tending the council meeting, President Harding, in his letter, continued: "I know of no single movement that promises more help towards the pres ent relief and the permanent better ment of agricultural condition than this one. Whoever has cared to read my recent message to the congress will understand the depths of my con viction about the necessity to do ev- erythirg possible to help the farmer through his present era of depres- sim "

RECEIVE MORE
 BY SELLING COOPERATIVE

Tucson.-Buyers in Santa Cruz county offered cattleman, Mir. H., $32.OO per head for his three -year-olds and S25 for his twos. Having only a few threes, he sold them, but decided to stick with his association and sell his twos with theirs. His naighbor Mr. N., had a good bunch of threes and was offered $33.00 for his threes, $25 for his twos, and SEQ for his yeartings. MT. X refused to sell by the head and insisted that he ana his associates would sell only by weight.
 A price was finallW agreed upon and some twelve hundred head were sold over the scales. The following figures were reported: Mir. II. received for his twos $37 per head and over $2I per head for his yearlings. MT. X. re- ccivcd a few cents less than $50 per head for his thrce-year-o,ds, and about the above-meutioned prices on twos and ycarlmgs. Thus, by selling over the scales, he received nearly $17 per head more for his thyees than his first offer, while Mir. II. received SIP more per head for his twos and $4 more for his yearlings.
 Returns on the entire twelve hun dled head were not always like the above, but the average came pretty near those figures.
 Cooperative selling among those concerned in this deal has received an impetus which will make it easy for the officers of the association and the county agent to extend their selling operations among the ncighboring rNttlemen.

ERA OF CHEAP LAND FOREVER
 GONE IN THE UNITED STATES

The frontiers in America have van ishcd. The era of cheap lands will never return. From now on the price of land will be increased because of the natural scarcity of tiIlable areas and the increasing cost of cultivating land which is tillablc.
 According to the United States de pertinent of agriculture, there are A0,- GOO,OOO acres of absolute desert. 270,- OOO,OOO acres Of forest land and 6OO,- OOO,OOO acres of land which is semi arid and suitable only for grazing.
 Those who wish new lands can fin" plenty of it in cut-oyer .eetions at prices ranging from $lO to $50 per acre. But it would cost all the way from $35 to $2OO per acre to clear tn, land and place it ready fer cujitva- tion. There are 9100O,O00 acres of undrained land that can be purchase" cheaply, but the cost of drainage is almost prohibitiye

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
December IS, 1922.

The live stock market is moving in to a position for the holiday season, Next Monday the yards will be closed to all business, except receiving, wa tering and feeding live stock, and con scquently receipts both the rest of this week and early next week will tc small. Hog prices today were up 10 to 15 cents and there will probably be a further advance before the week end Cattle sold readily at strong prices and sheep and lambs were steady.
 Tuday's Receipts
 Receipts today were l3,COO cattle, 15,OOO hogs and COCO shecp compar- ed with 10000 cattle. 1000 hogs and G,COO sheep a week ago and lOT25 cat tie, lO,56O hogs and 1G,750 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Demand for cattle showed cOnstd- erabIe activity and while there was no general advance prices were Consid- cred firm in all divisions. Decreased runs will be in store for the next two weeks, and in the meantime the mar ket will clear up' the holdings in sec ond hands, and be in position to start the new year In strong posi- tion. Practically all the long time fed cattle have been marketed and from now on offerings will equal those that were placed on feed after September. This change in the lcn~,h of the feed- ing period will result in a general re adjustment in quotations to a mar rower price spread. The bulk of the fed steers are bringing $75O to $S.75, a few above %025 and odd lots suit able for the Christmas trade up to $13.75. Cows and hejlcrs are selling readily. Gamer grades are bringing S2 to S2.5O. Veal calves and bulls were steady.
 StOckers and Feeders
 Trade in Stockcrs and feeders was active at firm prices. Indications are that a complete clearance will be ef- fected this week. Demand is above normal for this season Of the year. Cold weather has not caused much de- crease in demand.
 Hogs
 Hog prices today were 10 to 15 cents higher and practically all the good hogs sold at $8 to $S.15. De, mGnd is large and both packers and shippers are buying freely. Decem- Der receipts are larger than usual, bIt the fact that the buying side has not been able to get prices for any length of time under the cent level indicates that fat hogs are going to sell close to present quotations for the next sixty days. Packing Sows were higher at $7.35 to $76O, and pigs sold at $7 to SIPS.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Prices for sheep and lambs were steady with last weeks close, and about 50 cents under the high point. Most of the offerings were native lambs that sold at S14.5O, and clipped lambs at $12.5O to $12.75. Good light weight ewes sold at $7 to $7.10.
 Horses and Mules
 Trade in horses and mules was quiet at steady prices. Because of the holidays demand will be small un> til after the first of the year.
