BANKS MAKE FINE SHOWING.

If the idea has prevailed in the
minds of some that Palestine banks
were not in as good condition as they
have been in the past that idea should
be disDelled by the splendid showing
made in the sworn statements pub
lished in the Herald today. These
statements not only show they are in
good condition, but that they are in
better condition than they were when
the last statements were published on
call from the comptroller They ac-
tually have more money in their
vaults than the past statements
showed.
Commenting on this fact, as shown
by the Royal Bank statement, the
first to reach the Herald office today,
Mr.. Royal, president of the Clearing
House Association of Palestine, said:
1.-THE banks of Palestine, all Of
them, are decidedly in better shape
than they were at the last call, and
at this time have more money in
.Eslllts than at anx +ir4e ~
many months"
The gentleman admits that few
nervous ones got a little scared, but
that now the indications are that the
scare is a thing of the past, and that
things are easing up perceptibly. He
thinks the money panic" is over.
Surely things are getting better all
over the country, and with the relief
offered by the government in supply
ing the country with money, the pres
poets for the future are bright.
Herald readers are invited to read
these reports, and see for themselves
that there is absolutely no cause for
apprehension. Palestine banks are as
safe as any banks in the country. and
make a showing far better than the
most sanguine anticipated. These
published statements should result in
allaying all fears of even the most
timid.

they have to learn what foods are

And these farmers institutes viii

things a study. and to cooperate in
the work of farming. marketing, etc.
Along these lines lies success.

Mr.. Sam Dixon in his talk before
the farmers institute yesterday, said
he doubted the advisability of using
potash on Anderson county soils
There is a great deal to be learned
yet about soils and fertilizers. In fact
there is very little known about either
by the average farmer. There are a
number of things they do not yet
know; and no one else knows. There
are forces in nature that the sages OF
the ages do not understand that have
direct bearing on plant life. Analy-
sis has proven that there is as much
difference in soils as there is in eli
mate; that some soils are better
adapted to the cultivation of one crop
than another; that in the same
climate, and in the same neighbor-
hood, or in the same field one soil
will grow to perfection one crop. and
will prove a failure or a partial failure
on another crop. These things all
have to be studied out. There are
fertilizers that viii help one class Of
soil, and injure another; that will
grow one crop and fail to grow an
other. Growers of crops will have to
learn by experimentation what plant
food to use for their crops just as
