FARMERS INSTITUTE

Great Bend, Nov. 3QDec. I, 1908
The annual farmers institute sea
son Is at hand and the officers for
this county are making great prep
aratiOns for a big meeting. Each
year the attendance is larger and the
interest Of the leading farmers is
greater. This institute Is Of great
Importance to the whole county and
State and 1t is getting to be a big
thing. vOer two hundred organized
Institutes in Kansas with over g.
500 members means that the farmers
are in earnest In studying farming
methods. The Agricultural College is
directing the work and sends two
or three speakers to every institute
to help with the program. Local
speakers are, however, required on ev
cry program and so the meeting here
on November 30-December will have
two men sent out by the College
and will also have some Of our lead.
ing farmers on the program. Such
meeting ought to have five hun
dred farmers and business men at
every session as 1t means better
farming and better crops and better
returns from every acre.

Il |. 80 Different.

There Is a great deal Of difference
between actual experience and theory
For instance, you might argue CON-
pulsory bank deposit guarantee I'M
til you were black In the face and
then fail TO convince anyone, but tn
minute little actual experience In
that line pops up, the remedy viii
be acceptable without argument. For
instance. the Arkansas City Traveller,
a staunch Republican paper, stood
Loyalty by Its part and platform all
during the campaign, including the
voluntary guarantee proposition. A
few days later a bank failed at
Arkansas City and the Traveller"
got wise. The next day after the
failure. the following appeared in its
columns.
Inc Traveller desires to say that
today 1t is In favor Of a compulsory
bank guaranty law. It Is not an un.
settled question In our mind any
longer. 1t matters not to us what
the Republican platform SAYS or
what William Howard Tafr think, IN
the subject. II the legislature Of
Kansas does not enact a compulsory
state bank guarantee law at It's next
meeting, It's members are a set Of
chumps. We are authorized to say
that the member from the Fifty-fifth
district will work and vote for such
a law. He did so the last session
Of the Legislature"

OREGON FRUIT FAYORIrE
AMONG WEIGH PEOPLE

In stating that the Welsh are great
apple eaters, Consul Lorin \. Lath-
rop writes from Cardiff as follows in
regard to their purchases Of this fruit,
says the daily consular report.
The market is supplied during the
late summer months 10y English
growths. which will have disappeared
before Christmas, with the exception
of the Russet. Canadian apples then
follow on in large Quantities, shipped
direct from Montreal to Cardiff in
barrels Of 12O pounds. The Baldwin
is the favorlte, and these in barrels
sell at 15c to 25c C$3.65 20 $6.OS),
according to market and quality, de-
llvered at Cardiff. Sales are by auc-
ton on arrival. The price of the
barrels included. and these are sub
sequently sold at a nominal price
either to English farmers or to be
broken as firewood.
There are each season a certain
number Of complaints that the quail
itv and size Of the fruit is not uniform
throughout the barrel.
limited number Of Newtown
Pippins from the Pacific coast reach
this market in the late autumn. They
are sold az a dessert apple at ad-
vanced prices. They never bring un-
der eight cents pound that being the
ton price for Baldwns. After Christ
mas they generally bring from 10 to
Y cents. They and the Canadian ap-
pies have a clear field until the end
Of March. when the Australian and
Tasmanlan appear.
It is reported that there Is con-
siderable shortage this year in the
English apple crop and it is general
" believed In the trade that oppor-
tunities for American appls will be
more than usually favorable. Cali
fornia is reported to have a very
heavy crop, and apples from there and
Oregon are expected to bring lower
prices. Should this prove to be the
case, these apples would meet the
Baldwlns in price and greatly in
creased business ought to follow.
The consumers in this district are
well-paid coal miners who, however,
can not be expected to pay extra
prices for superior fruit.
il Is possible that direct shipments
to Cardiff may be arranged, though
the great difficulty in lnauguratlng
