field on a regular rotation system?
II. Experience in pasturing sever
al kinds Of stock on same pasture.

To Test Old Soldier Law.

Attorney General Fred S. Jackson
filed an application for a writ of
custer in the supreme court against
d. S. Mcneil, county assessor of
Greenwood county. Greenwood coun-
ty is Mr.. Jacksons home county. This
action is brought for the purpose of
testing the old soldier preference law
The county commissioners appoint
ed Mcneil as county assessor in spite
Of the fact that there were two old
soldier applicants for the place. ]. F.
Hoffman and w. H. Phillips, both of
whom are old soldiers, were can IL
dates for the appointment. The COM
missioners disregarded their candida
cies and appointed Mcneil. The law
provides that If an old soldier appil-
cant for place has the necessary
qualifications he shall be given the
preference. 1t is maintained by the
attorney general in this case that the
old soldier applicants were qualified in
every way and that the act OF the
county commissioners was clearly in
violation of the old soldiers prefer
ence law.

THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great Success-Thou.
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman Of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say 1t
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
1t is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. s. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
It yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
1882 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Nov city
ever introduced.

Bank Deposits GROWING,

Bank Deposits Growing.
THE called statement for the con-
ditton of the state banks of Kansas,
issued December 81, 1909, shows that
the state banks of Kansas have on
deposit nearly $100,000,000 at this
time, the exact figures being $99,507,-
600, which is an increase of practic-
ally $2,500,000 over the deposits held
by state banks the last prior call
made September 20, 1909" said Bank
Commissioner Dolley This is the
high water mark for deposits in the
state banks of Kansas, and had it not
been for the unusual weather condi-
tons | feel safe in saying that the
deposits would have overrea ched the
$100,000,000 mark by probably five or
six millions of dollars. Weather con-
ditions have been such that In many
parts of the state the wheat crop has
not been disposed of and the corn
crop not gathered, and the farmers
have not realized on their crops, con-
sequently have no balance for de-
post"

Will Not Issue Charters.

At meeting of the state charter
board it was decided not to admit
any foreign corporations to do bust
ness in Kansas whose intention 1t is
to do interstate commerce business.
This action was taken as result of
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court, prohibiting
Kansas from collecting fees from for
eign corporations in order that the
latter might engage in business in this
state.
These decisions were rendered In
the Pullman and Western Union cases.
If foreign corporation now wants 1t,
it must come as a domestic corpora
tion and pay the regular fees. lift in
sists on remaining foreign corpora
ton doing an interstate business, the
charter board will not accept its char
ter application. This will force such
corporations to file mandamus pro-
ceedings against the charter board in
the Kansas supreme court, and no de-
cision could be reached in such a case
until the regular session of the legls-
lature, when the law can be amended
to get around the objections set forth
in the United States supreme court de-
cisions. Governor Stubs declared
that If tire was no other way to
handle the corporation business under
the crippled law he would call an eX-
ira session of the legislature. But the
charter board, composed of the secre-
tary Of state, attorney general and
bank commissioner, after a thorough
investigation, found a way out.

The year begins in Europe with
some of the DISASTROUS experiences of
1909 tapping over. The storms which
have prevailed there recently resulted
in foods which have caused wide
spread devastation. Eastern Rou-
melia is reported to have been an es-
pecial sufferer. many persons being
drowned, while losses in crops and
livestock are particularly heavy. The
region affected is dependent chiefly
on agriculture, and the people being
moor the blow falls heavily.
