JV Hunter, of University of Kansas, Has Plan to Route Him Out of Alfalfa Fields. WITH AND HARROW Would Expose Eggs to Frost and to BirdsSays Alfalfa Yield Will Also Be Increased As Result.

Kansas CityJan. 1L Woe be unto tbel Kansas grasshopper. His days in the alfalfa beds, where for years he has increased his tribe unhampered and cost the owners of the fields thousands of dollars, are said to be numbered. Professor S. J.

Hunter of the University of Kansas, located at Lawrence, says he has found a plan which not only eliminates the destructive hoppers, but also increases the alfalfa yield. Professor Hunter says the solution of the grasshopper problem is to disc the alfalfa fields in the spring just after the frost has left the ground. This, he says. exposes the eggs of the hoppers, which are deposited in the fall, to the weather, and birds and other destructive insects. After the disc has been used, the professor ad vises harrowing the field with a slant tooth harrow.

The yield of alfalfa, he says, has Increased one-third in the fields where his plan has been tried. Y. M. 0. A.

In every instance, in the Shawnee, holders of shares who withdrew before maturity get back every cent they pay In, and if the shares have been running twelve months they get in addition to what they paid In at least 4 per cent interest, and from that up to 8 per cent according to the length of time they have been paying in dues. To holders of installment and full-paid shares withdrawn the association paid $12,218.04 in interest, net earning that had accrued to their shares. To take care of unforeseen and contingent losses, and possible depreciation of holdings, the Shawnee carries a contingent' fund amounting to $17,328.39. This "reserve" Is kept profitably invested so that it is not "dead" or unproductive capital.

The Shawnee is a strictly local and a purely mutual association. By "local" we mean that dollar of its investments is right here at home where values are known and where seonrities can be and are personally inspected by the board of directors and No agents or solicitors are employed, and therefore tbere'are no doubtful -risks and no com- missions, paia. to any ytsi suu. myeuoo mm. operation Is very low.

By "mutual" we mean that the. Shawnee has neither preferred, permanent nor "guarantee" stock. It issues only two kinds of shares, viz. Installment and full-paid. Money paid in on shares is loaned only to members, and only on real estate first mortgages or the association's own shares.

The interest on these loans constitutes the bulk of the association's income. Local building and loan associations (known in the East as "Domestic that are local and mutual in fact as well as in name, are monied corporations organized on the partnership plan and not capital stock corporations. "Capital "stock," in the general corporation sense of the term, means a fixed and permanent sun paid -In as a foundation on which to build up a business, and such capital cannot flutuate without" depreciating, the Then, again, a capital stock corporation is a group of investors who have something to sell or trade to the public. The public pays the freight or the tariff and the corporation (the stockholders) absorb all the net profits. In strictly local and mutual building and loan associations, like the Shawnee and a considerable number of others in other Kansas towns1, being monied" corporations, have no fixed capital stock because they are not organized for the purpose of doing business with outsiders but among themselves, and their working capital consists only of "dues' paid in periodlcafly by the The dues, or "capital," may be lessened or Increased and Is loaned out among the members, expenses" are paid out of the earnings, and the net profits divided among the members.

Therefore, a member who is a borrower is also a shareholder, and while he pays Interest Into the' common treasury on his loan he also receives interest (dividends) on his shares, and thus gets accommodations and benefits not obtainable in other class of corporations. In theory and practice the legitimate building and loan association is a local savings depository and a local home-building company. Its object is to teach and encourage saving and thrift and in the end transplant as many citizens ad possible from a "rented existence" into freehold homes of their own In the association's home com munity. chownoA is a. member of the Kan I eas Local Building and Loan league, and thrnueh that a member of the United States Local Building and Loan league and also the Kansas Bankers association- It belongs to the local (or do mestic) mutual class, a class distinctly separate and different from a small group known as "Generals." The Shawnee does not do a banking business in the general sense of that term, because every dollar paid in as dues (deposited) i.
