DENMARK, January 25.-The farmers
of this section seem to have entered upon
their work with marked interest, zeal and
hopefulness. They are preparing the
land in the most careful manner and are
planning for the years work with enthusi-
asm and determination.
The Bank of Denmark is doing a big
business; deposits are unusually good for
the season, and the loans are growing,
protected by securities that are regarded
as satisfactory in every way. There seems
to be tendency through this section on
the part of the farmers to secure loans OF
cash rather than follow the lien plan.
This idea is growing every year.
