The farmers OF the state OF Kansas
have managed their business in the
past five years with more acumen aud
with better understanding Of the
conditions under which they have
been placed than have the bankers.
The farms Of the state are today bet
ter paying institutions than are the
banks. All over the state come re-
ports Of banks that are in quandary
what to do with their surplus Of de-
posits and there are few that are able
to earn q dividend. There are hun

There are, too, those which have

These things have been perhaps una
vOidable In some instances but on the
whole the banks Of the state are not
in such condition Of profitable exis.

tell the farmers how to run their
farms.
The farmers on the other hand have
been wise in their generation. When
the hard times came and the hot

conditions they must face. They cut

""3th"s htfr%o arteft&-
wAsnISsros. July Am important
arrangement has been completed be-
tween the United States and Mexico
for an exchange of weather bureau re-
ports. The United States is interested
in securing information OF storms that
come into this country through Mex
leo, and Mexico wants to know about
low temperatures working toward
them An effort will now be made
to secure some arrangement by which
information of storms in the west
Indies can be secured. The bureau
now has reports at irregular times from
the West Indies, where there are nine
meteorological stations But II is de-
sired to have u daily telegraphic report
such as Is received in this country.
The West India service would cost
about $1,000 per annum- The
Mexican service is secured with cost
OF not over $500 and possibly not more
than $500 per annum-
The Mexican system will reach sta
tions over the whole region of the
country covered by the Mexican tele-
graphic service, with at least one sta
tion in Lower California, six ON the
Mexican gulf coast and possibly sig on
the Pacific coast These reports will be
delivered by Mexico free to this country
in exchange for which the United States
service will twice day deliver to Mex
leo the reports received from stations
in the southern half OF California,
Arizona, New Mexico and the gulf
states The arrangement with Mexico
is similar to that now in operation be-
tween Canada and the United States

The disease was raging on the 18th
