K. S. A. G. DOESN'T DO 1T
No Special Brand of Feed Recon-
mended By College

Certain dealers and agents repre-
senting manufacturers of feedstuffs
are attempting to mislead Kansas
farmers by advertising the fact that
certain brands Of feeding stuffs are
registered at the Kansas Agricultural
Experiment Station, and intimating
that for this reason these particular
brands are recommended by the ex-
pertinent station, says an official
statement issued by the college to-
day. This unfair practice has been
followed recently in the case Of GER
tain brands of poultry feeds. In
such cases the person selling the feed
states that his particular brand Is
recommended, guaranteed, register
ed, inspected or used by the expert
ment station at the State Agricul-
tural College. The statement points
out:
"Poultrymen and other purchasers
Of feedingstuffs should understand
clearly that the experiment station
Of the agricultural college neither
nor guarantees any COM
mercial brand of feedingstuffs."

A month or two after that a

Hutchinson, April 12-That Amer
lea is entering upon the greatest era
of prosperity 1t has ever experienced
and that the stage Of economic ana
financial distress is past for the
farmer and stock raiser as well as
for the banker, was the opinion ex'
pressed by Walter L. Payne, former
state treasurer and president OF the
Kansas state Bankers Association,
in an address before the manual
meeting of the association here this
morning. President Payne said that
the bankers of Kansas have q large
part to play in reviving the pre-war
status Of business and urged that
they assume their share Of the re-
spOnsibility.
More than $150,00O remains In
the Kansas Bank Guaranty Fund at
the present time as a protection to
depositOrs Of state banks, according
to a statement made today by Omi-
cials of the association. The maxi
mum amount that can be raised an
nually by the bank guaranty law Is
approximately 100000. Since the
passage Of the Kansas Bank Deposit
tors Guaranty law in 1909, every de-
positOr in q failed guaranteed state
bank has been paid in full with the
exception Of certain certificates is
sued by the Kansas State Bank OF
Salina, amounting to about $22O,-
900. In this case, the supreme court
held that these certificates were Is
sued In violation Of the law and not
guaranteed for the reason that they
had been issued for property instead
of money, as required by law, or
represented borrowed money. More
than 700 guaranteed state banks are
bound by contracts with the state to
pay upon call Of the bank commits
sioner as many as five assessments
per year until all claims are paid in
full. The amount that can be raised
approximates 100000 year.
