NEW BANKING LAW.

The new banking law of this state
which took effect the first OF July VIII
mean some radical changes in many
hanks of the state. After that date
no bank can be organized with less
than ten thousand dollars capital
Under the present law, banks can
organize as low as five thousand
dollars capital, and a number are
being hurried along TO get them into
corporation before the new law goes
into effect. The law will also compel
many OF the five thousand dollar banks
TO increase their capital, as it re-
Quires an increase to ten thousand,
whenever the deposits of the banks
exceeds ten times the capital, which
will force an increase whenever the
deposits OF the banks exceed fifty
thousand dollars. The law will also
affect the larger banks in its provision
prohibiting any bank from accepting
deposits whenever their deposits have
reached a sum III SACbSS VI uilcEli
times their capital stock. This would
mean that IL a bank with a capital of
twenty-five thousand dollars had Sc
cured deposits up &c s375.000 they are
prohibited from accepting anything
further until they have increased
their capital TO bring il up to a point
where they can legally receive de-
posits again. II is claimed that their
are banks in the state with a capital
Of $4,000. which are carrying close 10
n million dollars, and in such case
the Law viii require a heavy increase
In the capital TO allow them tC re-
tain that amount of deposit. The Law
contains many other privileges intend
ed 10 safeguard the depositors, one OF
which cuts out receivers for banks
which have become financially en-
barrassed. Instead of a receiver with
fees for service, such bank is placed
In the hands OF the public examiner
whose duty it is to wind up the affairs
of the bank without a heavy fee
charge, and give to the depositors
the protection OF the law.-Kimball

Story of Sugar Beet INDUSTRY.
sugar beets were first grown IN
Germany 10 years ago. The Industry
since then has been fostered IN va
rious European countries by such men
as Oliver DeSerre, Marggraf, Arcndru'
Napoleon, and Frederick the Great.
The first attempt to produce sugar
beets in America was in Philadelphla
in 1890. From this date TO 1919 al
tempts were made in Massachusetts.
WISCONSIN and Maine and other places
without success. The first suceessfui
factory was erected at Alvarado. Col.
| in 1879. In 1897 we had but SIX rae
tories in the United States, but during
the ten years since then sixty factor-
| les have been built.
"Beet crops are the most pronldole
| known to agriculture, but require
great care and intelligence in planting
/ and cultivation The total cost OF
raising and marketing an acre OF SUI
gar beets in Kansas is about $50 on
an average The gross price from al
average acre of these beets Is aDou'
s75, but where especial care IS glVeI
to their cultivation an acre or grounc
will under favorable conditions, ylelc
