best elsewhere. Oats cost $1.to per
cwt., the Same us last year.
Rye is a grain that has fallen by
the way side. II makes excellent
schwartzbrodt, and is Highly nu-
tritious: but the only class of people
who seem to have any liking for rye
flour is the Germans who bring the
taste with them over from the old
country. The amount raised in this
state is put at a negligible quantity by
mi!ers who seem TO think ii hardly
worth talking about. The cost is $I.6u
per cwt, the same as the price last
year.
CORN CROP.
There Is some corn raised in Utah;
sweet corn largely, though there is
considerable field corn, particularly IN
the more southcrly part of the stat.
where the climate is more rropitioun
toward cultivation of that grain than
in the more northerly parts where the
climate is rigorous There is no rea-
son why a great deal OF corn should
not be grown in the lower tiers of
counties. with the development OF ir-
rigatlon and extension of railroad
lines into those sections. This will
obviate the necessity of shipping in
corn from Nebraska and Kansas at
great delay and expense. Last winter
when ii appeared that large herds of
sheep would perish from the sudden
snow storms. rush orders were sent
cast Of the Rockies for corn. When 1t
arrived. the danger had PASSED. and
tho corn was not wanted.
Utah grain men are viewing with
great satisfaction the unprecedented
corn crop of this country, the remark
able increase of 35o.0o0.o00 bushels
over the 1909 crop being due to a

tors will not lose their money IN oanK
failures in the future and 1t was de-
manded by the people.

commissioner in requiring examiners 10
call the directors Of banks in at the
time of examination and go over the
assets in conjunction with them and
tn sign a sworn statement as to the
value of said assets has resulted In
getting rid Of much bad paper and OF
removing incompetent managing OIL
ficers.
Another policy which has resulted in
much good is the plan adopted OF new
err closing the doors of a bank except
as a last resort During the past 10
months several weak institutions have
been rehabilitated; dishonest and In.
competent officers removed, new. blood
and new capital installed and the insti'
tuition put on a sound basis.
An information bureau has also
been established whereby prospective
investors in stocks and bonds are ad'
vised as to the proper worth OF such
offerings many Kansans have been
saved from buying blue Sky" through
the information he secured from this
bureau and an army of grating and
INSCRIPTIONS stock jobbers have been
driven from the state.
This feature alone Is saving the peo
pie of Kansas more than a million oil
dollars annually.
