759 State Banks in Kansas-Fig-
ures compiled in the office of State
Bank Commissioner John O. Royce
show a remarkable growth in the
banking business of Kansas in the
last four years. They show that four
years ago there were 81 state banks
in Kansas and that now there are 759
in operation and five more ready to
begin operations before the first of
the year. These figures also show
that four years ago the total deposits
in the state banks of Kansas were
$53,11O,S2S.41 and that at the time of
the last call the total deposits were
$50, 1888, 663. 0S-an increase of thirty
million dollars in four years Nearly
all of the state banks instituted in
the last four years have been in the
central and western parts of the
state. Wherever wheat is the big
crop in Kansas new banks are plen-
tifuL There are now state banks in
little towns that had scarcely a mer-
chandise store four and five years
ago and nearly all of these are in the
central and western parts of the state
Figures in Mr.. Royce's office show
that all of these little banks are pros
porous.

The recent election in Portugal
shows a strong monarchist majority
due, no doubt, to the reaction follow
ing the assassination Of King Carlos
and the crown prince. Though the
links of actual proof are wanting,
still public opinion connects the re-
publican movement with the regi-
cides, and real reformers suffer at

MEETING HARMONIOUS.
J. H. Long, Central Committeeman
Gives Following Account.

Twenty-one members of the county
central committee met Monday even
ing and went on REGARD as holding
the most harmonious, representative
republican meeting held in NeZ
Perez county for years. The meeting
was full of interest and enthusiasm,
many of the committeeman coming
to the meeting with ideas as to the
mode of procedure to concede them
in the interest of harmony and the
good of the party.
The most important feature of the
meeting was to decide on the man
ner in which delegates were to be
elected to the county convention to
name delegates to the state conven-
ton to be held at Wallace the 18th
day of May, to select delegates to the
national convention.
Prior to this meeting a number of
prominent republicans and members
of the committee advc rated the selec-
ton of these delegates by the county
central committee. providing this
could be done without dissenting
voice. They argued that since there
was harmonious sentiment in IA

OREGON CHERRY FAIR.

Although the exact date has not yet
been fixed, great progress is being
made in the matter Of the Oregon
Cherry Fair, to be held at Salem early
in July. The exact date of this unique
show will be given later. 1t will be
held under the auspices of the Salem
Board of Trade and the Marion County
Fruit Growers Association, and these
two organizations undoubtedly number
in their membership the most active
fruit growers, and especially cherry
growers, in the great fruit belt of the
Willamette Valley.
The pre- sent indications are that the
cherry crop will be one of the best in
the history of the industry in this Sec
ton, and that means that 1t will be
one of the best in the history of the
world. The cherry trees are not over
loaded, as they were in many instances
last year, and the result will be a
much finer quality and larger sized
fruit. This means, without doubt, that
the season will produce the largest
and best cherries ever known. The
peculiar climatic conditions in the
central Willamette Valley are especial
ly adapted to the perfect development
of this delicious fruit, and the condi.
lions being favorable makes the pre-
diction safe that we shall have a
quality OF fruit never before known.
Furthermore, the quantity, owing to
increased acreage, will be larger than
ever. BY consulting the figures Of
the canneries and shippers, it is
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-06-01

learned that the growth of the cherry
industry contiguous to Salem has been
marvellous in the past five years. 1t
is believed that the acreage has quad
rupled in the past two years, as it had
nearly done in the preceding three
years. Cherry growing is now beyond
all experiment and in a normal status,
both as to methods of growing and
marketing, as well as the demand for
the crop.
AS in the past, the Annual Cherry
Fair will offer growers, packers and
Gamers of cherries such inducements
in the way of premiums as will bring
out the very best exhibits that can be
produced. Hundreds Of people came
long distances to see this fair last
year, and there are already assurances
of some visitors from east of the
mountains and as far as the Atlantic
Coast, in order to not only witness
this exhibition of fruit, but to study
the conditions and possibilities of this
wonderful product.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-06-01

cepted. With these states reported
somewhat short, the crop, as a whole,
cannot be phenomenally heavy. The
Pacific states have good crop. No
such a light crop as we had in 1907
can be expected, and no such prices
can be expected. The peach crop is
good. Some dealers say it will be
heavy, but such growers as J. H.
Hale say that the crop will be good,
but not excessively heavy. I know
some peach orchards in the lower
Yakima Valley that have not peach,
but the valley as whole has crop.
The condition of the apple and peach
crop in the West, coupled with the
change in the good times we had last
year, would lead me to say we may
expect fair prices, but not excessively
high ones.

The Department of Agriculture is

good. Smudging is one way to keep
off the damage from frost, but this is
effected by having such a cloud of
smoke over the orchard that it checks
radiation of heat But the fire pots,
while they make some smudge, and
that may do some good, the chief ben
eft, in my judgment, is in creating
heat by burning these pOtS-the mate
rial in them-and in this way the
temperature is kept up. From twelve
to twenty pots kept burning on every
acre of orchard will make quite a
degree of heat. If the smudge hangs
over the orchard, so much the better,
but as a general thing it floats away.
If crude petroleum can be secured it
will greatly lessen the cost of running
these fire pots. I believe there is a
good deal in the future by the use
of these fire pots. Let the matter be
thoroughly tested. Frosts are the
thing to be dreaded by peach growers.

The Ranch has made it a rule for
some years to try and keep It's read
ers posted on the conditions of the
fruit crop This is often worth a
good deal to the fruit grower. II
the crop is very heavy in the United
States, the grower knows that prices
will rule much lower than when the
crop is short in the whole country.
Buyers come around sometimes early
in the season and want to buy up the
apples for instance. In trade parlance
the buyer is bear, that is, he wants
to pull down the price as much as
possible 1t is to his interest to make
the grower believe that the crop will
be very large and will offer a very
low price. The grower should keep
himself posted so that he may not be
worked in this way. | shall, from time
to time, give summing up of the con-
ditions of the crop. To secure my data
for such summing up, l shall consult
our large list of exchanges and try
to deal fairly with our readers.
The present outlook, as it regards
the apple crop, is that 1t will be an
average one. The crop is light in
Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Colorado,
Nebraska and Iowa. In these states
the crop Is reported to be from 20 to
so per cent of an average crop. Mis-
