Banks May Lose $4,000, 900.
After realizing on what assets could
be turned into cash, including the bank
building, Mr.. Kent says in his letter
there still rs due to Chicago banks
from the Walsh aggregation between
$11 100000 and $12,000,000. This is be-
ing carried by the state and national
banks of Chicago, having an aggre-
gate capital of S4o,O0Q0O0 and is pro-
rated among them on the basis of their
capital so that at the present time
more than 25 per cent Of the bank
capital of Chicago is tied up by this
Walsh failure.
1t would seem, Mr.. Kent observes,
whether or not any legal crime had
been committed, Walsh's stockholders
had been abominably dealt with. Al
though not having access to the data
held by the clearing house committee,
which committee is unquestionably do
ing all in it's power to alleviate the
situation and pull through with a min.
imum of loss, Mr.. Kent says he feels
sure from talks with number of
bankers they would be extremely glad
to accept loss Of from to 10 per
cent and be rid Of the mess.

RAINS DO IMMENSE GOOD
TO CROPS IN SOUTHWEST

st. Louis, Mo-, June 19.-There is
great rejoicing in many sections of the
southwest where the long drouth has
been broken by copious rains. 1t is
estimated that many thousands Of dol
lars have been saved to the farmers,
who had begun to despair Of their oats
and corn crops.
In sections of Missouri there had
been no rain for two months, while
other sections have gone nearly as
long. In northwest Missouri oats and
potatoes have been ruined, but hope is
now entertained for the corn crop.
In Illinois considerable damage was
done to wheat which was ready to har-

vest, but no complaint is heard because
OF the great benefit to corn and oats.
Raine Benefit Wheat Crops.
Rains fell over the whole state of
Kansas and nearly all over Nebraska,
where 1t was greatly needed for corn,
pastures and late wheat. There had
been no rain in these states for three
weeks. While corn had not been hurt
materially, it had not made the proper
growth. 1t is expected now to advance
rapidly. Some wheat in Kansas and
southern Nebraska is being harvested
and this will be injured slightly, but.
much late wheat in northern Nebraska
will be helped.

Mr. W. NJ. Harrington, who several
weeks since shot and killed William
Shouse, in front of the Y NJ c. A.
building in Memphis, had a hearing
before Judge Galloway on writ of
habeas corpus last Wednesday, and
bail was refused. Several witnesses
testified, and at the conclusion of
the hearing Judge Galloway said that
he thought that the defense had fail
ed to make out its case. and would
therefore deny the application for
bail.
A great deal of local interest cen
ters in this case, as Mr.. Harrington
is well known here, having married
a lady who is a member of a prom
inent Lowndes county family An
other gentleman who is we'll known
here was summoned as a witness.

years pastor OF the First Methodist
church here, was subpoened by the,
State, but did not appear. 1t is said
that DR.. Boiling was sumomned to
prove certain occurrences that took
place before the shooting and which
had d bearing on the case.
1t is evident that in refusing to
grant bail in the case, Judge Gal
loway was to large extent controlI-
ed by public sentiment. There have
been a number of killings in Mem
phis recently, and the people are
greatly aroused over what is termed

the Sa1vat ion of the
Fruit Industry.

The editor of the Rural Californian
is staunch advocate of fumigation.
In his last paper he publishes a long
article on the subject which we quote:
Prof Warren c. Clarke. of the Uni
versity of California, was a visitor
to Southern California last month, and
while here inspected the scale-infest-
ed citrus districts. In an interview
with the editor of this journal he said
among other interesting things:
so far as my observations save eX-
tended | find that the best results i'll
the control of insect pests Oh citrue
trees have been accomplished in or
chards where fumigatiOn has been
practiced. My observations also indi-
cate that the black scale is not effect
lively controlled by any parasitic insect
at present found III the citrus orchards
that is to say, such a control that
renders washing or brushing the fruit
before packing it for market unneceS-
Sary. That red scale, under certain
conditions and manipulationS, can be
successfully controlled by fumigatiOn,
and Il dosage far in excess of that
ordinarily applied can be used with
safety and with great satisfaction to
growers whose orchards are infested
with this pest"
This is practically what The Rural
Californian has constantly advocated.
In and out of season we have tried
to impress upon the growers the ma
terial benefits of fumigation. 1t is
therefore with no little satisfaction
that we give above the observations of
Prof. Clarke He is a thoroughly
practical man and eminently qualified
to instruct the growers Oh the best
methods of controlling insect pests
Not only is he qualified by careful and
arduouS study and keen observations
in the field, but he is progressive and
courageous. The contrast between
him and others (tOO many, unfortu-
nately) that pretend to speak with
authority OH the control of insect
pests is so great that any one at all
familiar with scale pest rayages must
desire such an extension of power to
the University of California as VIII
eliminate ali purely political appoint
mentS to positions of authority in the
horticultural industry.
1t is with regret that we refer to the
period when Prof. Cook was the con-
ductOr of farmers institutes At no
time i'll the history of horticulture in
Southern California was the damages
caused by insect pests greater. Speak
ing with authority as the appOintee
of the state he urged the use of dis
tillate spray His persistency in be-
half of the spray pump was as un-
reasonable as it was fallaciOus. His
enthusiasm in this course was like
that of the fanatic-intOlerant OF all
opposition. 1t can be stated, without
fear of successful contradiction, that

gator and gave orders that a double
dosage be given. The cost per acre
was S21.40. Said this banker whom
we met on the streets of Los Angeles:
Il had almost given up hope that
I could ever relieve my grove from the
terrible pest of purple scale As a last
resort | engaged a fumigator with the
special understanding that he was to
give as large a dosage as the trees
could stand. And he did it. 1t is
indeed marvellous how the trees have
recovered. They now show great vi
tality and are bearing a large crop
of fine and clean fruit This years
crop will pay me over and over again
for the expense of fumigatiOn. | and
my associates have had bitter eX-
periences with the spray men. They
promise much and give nothing
Whittier has been redeemed from the
curse of the spray pump and now has
beautiful groves. All thanks to fumi-
CATION"
The cost of spraying has been as
low as $3.50 per acre, and the cost of
cleaning up the dead wood. burning
the oranges spoiled by spraying and
washing the fruit that remained to be
shipped will total not less than $1,000
per acre. We have known of 10 acre
orchards where the charges for spray

we ask, in all seriousness, where does
the cheapness of spraying come in?
