Cranberry Crop Hit.

The growers at Grand Rapids are
alarmed about the cranberry crop.
Conservative estimates indicate that
fully one-third of the vines that were
exposed to the winter have been kill
ed. There was not much water or
snow this winter, and the vines
grew above the water All that were
exposed were killed and it does not
look now as though the crop this sea.
son would be much larger than last.
Last season the crop in Wisconsin
amounted to somewhat over 10000
barrels In 1906 it t0taled in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 barrels. Be
fore the fruit was winter killed there
was every indication that the crop
would be a large one. as it is general
" a fact that when the vines have
& rest such as they had last year, the
crop the following year will be a big
one. It is too early yet to make any
estimate as to the probable output.
The growers are much worried over
the fact that the vines have been SO
badly injured.

TRUST COMPANIES SAFE.
Attorney General Rules They May Re
ceive Deposits and Paw Interest.

$500 ~SP~SsAS 0itu ray fuACtCSks
In response to a query from State
Banking Commissioner NJ. G.. Bersh
the attorney general rendered an
opinion to the effect that trust compa-
MES may receive deposits and pay in
terest OH them
The present attorney generals pre-
decessor in office two years ago ruled
that trust companies did not have this
authority. During the last session of
tho legislature some of the banks OF
the state tried to secure the passage
of law providing that trust compa-
MES should not have this power.
1T is my opinion" says the attor-
ney general, that the receiving of
money on deposit by trust companies
not subject to check or draft nor pay
able on demand. and the issuing OF
notes, certificates of deposit or pass
books therefor. drawing interest, is
not the exercise of a banking power
Or privilege, or the doing of bank
ing business, but that such a tranSac
ton is a loan such as any individual
may make, the note, certificate OF
pass book being merely the written
evidence thereof"
