BANKERS and Postal Banks.

John Farson of the banking
lonse of Farson, Leach Il Co,
chicago, offered a resolution in
Inc Illinois Bankers association
meeting at Peoria, Oct. Ii, urging
he establishment of postal savings
banks by the national government.
.rhe resolutions recited that the
humber OF savings banks i'll the
United States, especially in the
west and south, was not sufficien
10 meet the needs of persons of
smaI means for safe places of de-
posit for their small accumulations.
They declared that the establish
tnent OF postal savings banks
would tend to the greater stability
pf the government by giving 10
those OF small means a more per-
sona interest in its welibeing and
would promote the welfare of the
country BY encouraging among the
people habits of thrift and economy.
1t was, therefore, suggested that
the convention give. it's indorse-
|ment to the movement among the
people looking TO the establish.
ment of postal savings banks; pro-
|vded that the system be carefully
|sate-guarded so as TO protect both
the nation and the depositors, and
provided, further, that the limita-
|uon on the amount that may be
deposited by any one person be
|sueh as to prevent unnecessary in
reference with the business OF prI-
|va,e bankers. The bankers from
Chicago were all apparently in
favor Of the resolution; however,
Ia number of cautious bankers from
|others cities of the state buried
them, though friends OF the move
ment were not lacking among the
small bankers. The opposition
seemed TO be based on a fear that
postal savings banks would take
some depositors from the banks

bankers that the government banks
would assist the banking business

swer is simple. They accept these
miserable prices because they have
not received what they expected
for their cotton, and have thus
fallen short of the amount thew
hoped 10 derive from their crops.
In other words they need money
so badly that 1t beco mes necessity.
Ask anyone of these planters and
he will frankly tell you this is a
fact. He will also tell you that he
is fully aware of the value of his
seed as fertilizer, and some of
those who can afford ii prefer to
use the seed as such rather than
sell 1t at So per ton. The trouble
comes from growing too much cot.

the feecy staple as source of
revenue.

Corn-Stalk Hay.

In Bulletin No. 80, containing the re-
suits of Experiments ia Corn Culture
made in 1895, the attention of farmers
was especially called to the advantages
of the method of utilizing the corn
stalks for stock food. 1t is the almost
universal practice in the south to gather
and cure the blades, and harvest the ears
of corn, leaving the entire stalks in the
field to prove an almost unmitigated
nuisance and obstruction in the prepa-
ration and cultivation of the land in the
succeeding crop, and winter homes and
alternating retreats for insects that will
be ready to attack such crops, especially
if it shall be another crop of corn.
Farmers have habitually considered this
large part of the crop as of no practical
value. Indeed, corn stalks, especially
south, are of little available food value
because of their mechanical condition.
Even in the north the old method of
feeding the stalks ("stover") without
any mechanical preparation was but lit
tie less wasteful and slovenly than leav-
ing them in the fields. But the use of
machinery for preparing the corn stalks,
shredding them into coarse hay, is
rapidly extending. A number of very
effective machines may now be had at
moderate prices, that will convert the
hard, finty stalks into soft, easily
masticated substance, very similar in
mechanical condition to coarse hay, that
is readily-even greedily eaten by horses.
mules and cattle.
In Bulletin No. 30, already referred
to, the whole subject was discussed at
some length, showing BY experiments
made, and by analysis that the value of
the naked stalks that are generally left
in the field, after harvesting the ears,
shucks and blades, amounts to fully one
sixth of the total value of the crop.
The experiments of 1895 were repeated
the present winter. All the corn stalks
were harvested and shredded, and the
