With the price of zinc blend at
the highest figure reached this
year the production of the last
week has been low due, to a
great extent, to the fact that
many of the mines in the dis
trict have not yet recovered from
the effects of the heavey floods
of two weeks ago. Some OF the
best producers in the district
have failed to figure in the turn
in columns because of being
drowned out.
There has been a furry among
the smaller producers to get in
to the production list, due to the
high prices. Choice lots of zinc
blende are reported to have been
sold for as high as S+S during the
week, while the base price was
S45. A greater demand prevailed
for the second grade ore and car
load lots averaged S44 a ton.
Spelter has lowered around Sc
in St. Louis during the week,
reaching its record price of the
year at S6.05, quated Thursday.
Under the stimulus of the upward
tendencies of the market, mining
men are feeling optimistic.
Operators held out until the last
of the week in an effort to push
the base price up to $40. Some
ISLES were said to have been made
at a $45, so base yesterday.
Despite the foods, which did
much damage to the calamine
producers, the production of this
ore has held normal with prices
steady from So to S24 for ore as
saying 40 per cent metallic zinc.
Lead sold at 500 S62, with quota
tions in St. Louis on mental at
S4.45 yesterday. The production
of lead was greatly curtailed, as
it has been for the last two weeks.
All camps in the district are
active and many old producers
are being overhaul d for new
operators. With an outlook for
a steady rise in prices the situa-
tion is pleasing to ore men, who
are looking forward to a $50 base
before any change takes place in
the market. While buyers share
in the general optimism, none
are willing to made advance pre-
dictions of a base of $50 in the
near future.

Banker and Farmer

operation WHICH 10 BLOWAhB Wy
between the banker and the far
mer. The bankers of the corn
belt are coming more and more
to realize that their prosperity
depends very largely upon the
prosperity of the farmers in their
communities. During the past
two or three years especially,
bankers all over the central west
have interested themselves in
promoting corn contests, short
courses, Institutes and other ac-
tivities which tend to raise the
grade of farming. The latest
thing in this line which we have
noticed is the proposition by the
Jersey State Bank, Jerseyville,
Illinois, to loan $4,000, or as
much of that sum as may be re-
quired, on approved notes with
out interest until after the har-
vest of 1912, for the purchase of
commercial fertilizers or ground
limestone, to be used on wheat
ground this fall. This will give
the farmer an opportunity to
harvest a crop grown on the fer
tilizer before it is necessary to
pay the note given for the pur-
chase. The proposition is open
to any farmer in Jersey county,
whether he does business with
the Jersey State Bank or not,
and the bank is anxious to have
each one try about forty acres.
The ground bone costs about So
an acre, where 200 pounds are
used, and the limestone about 81
an acre, figuring one ton to the
acre.
Mr.. T. S. Chapman is president
of this bank. We presume the
thought he has in mind is that
it will pay most of the farmers
in Jersey county to use COM
mercial fertilizer on their wheat,
and he believes it so strongly
that he is willing to loan the
money without interest for the
sake of persuading them to try
it. If they find that the ferti-
lizer pays we'll, of course, they
will continue its use, and the
bank will reap the benefit
through the increased prosperity
of its patrons, and consequently
increase the amount of business
they do with the bank.
In this connection we call at
tention to a service which the
country banks can render the
farmers of the central west, and
which would be very much APP
preciated at the present time.
Within the past two or three
years the silo has become very
popular, especially in Iowa and
the states Immediately adjoin-
ing. Thousands of silos have
been purchased. Up to this
time these have mostly been sold
on a years time. Silo manu-
facturers have been greatly him
dered in their business because
of the large amount of paper of
this sort that they have been
obliged to carry. They have
found it necessary to sell this
paper to the banks in the larger
cities and suffer a considerable
discount. There is no good rea-
son why the baul in the cOun-
try district should not furnish
all the money needed to build
silos. 1t is hard to think of any
better paper for bank than a
silo note. 1t is given by the man
who owns the farm; it is for a
permanent improvement and is
strictly high-class paper in
every way. If the farmer could
borrow the money needed to buy
the sile from his local bank, he
could buy to better advantage
