ALBAUGH CONDEMNS.
He Raps the Cooperative Home
Building Societies.

In his fourth annual report of the
building and loan associations of Kan
sas, issued today, Morton Albaugh, state
bank commissioner, again condemns the
so-called cooperative home bulidlES
societies. and he says that they have
bad effect on the legitimate associations
In his report he says:
THE department has continued to ex-
perience much trouble from the various
cooperative companies. the seductive
character of whose literature has con-
tinued to enlist the membership of peo-
pie in different parts of the state.
As a rule, these have been people
who are not we'll informed and who
could not afford to lose even the small
amount that they have invested before
companies in which they were making
investments. While the business Of the
companies at Kansas City Waned, 9TH
ers at Wichita, Coffeyville and Topeka
continued to do business despite the ef
forts of this department, assisted as it
has been by the newspapers, to sup
press them"
The report shows that on December
81 1902, there were forty local building
and loan associations and three general
associations doing business In Kansas;
that the aggregate assets of all aSsocla-
tions at the close of bushes on Decem-
Der 81, 1902, were 81 ,662 341.6S, an in

CORN AND COTTON
Have Their Condition Reported by

Washington, June 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly crop report is in
part. as follows:
The week ending June Is was alb
normally cool in nearly all districts
east of the Rocky mountains. the
minimum temperatures from the 10th
to the 18th throughout the central
valleys ana Southern states, being the
lowest of record for the second ten
DAYS of June, and heavy frosts were
of general occurrence in the upper
Missouri Valley with light frosts as
far south as Tennessee. Under these
conditions the growth of vegetation
has been slow.
Corn is unusually late and has made
very slow growth under the low tenn
peratures Of the past week. In the
Middle and South Atlantic states the
crop is much in need of cultivation,
and in the Southern states is largely
laid by.
Cotton continues very backward
having made slow growth under alb
normally low temperatures. ChOpping
has made favorable progress through
out the belt. but cultivation is not
well advanced except in portions of
the central districts. Rains have been
beneficial in Texas, where fair stands
of early planted are now indicated,
but cut worms are proving injurious
in north central, and boil weevils con-
tinue destructive in south central coun-
ties.
All reports respecting tobacco indi-
cate that this crop has made favorable
progress, and that transplanting is
now finished, except in the more north
erlY sections and on some bottom
lands in Virginia and Ohio.
