SAVINGS BANKS HIS THEME
John Harsen Rhoades Says They
Are Losing Stability.

Fierce connection and shortsighted am
btion have caused great deterioration IN
| stability and honor among savings banks,
| according TO John Harsen Rhoades. OIL
Rhoades g. Co. Speaking last night at the
Finance Forum OF the West Side Young
Mems Christian Association, Mr.. Rhoades
said that If the time had come when the
depostor must choose between the banks at
his disposal. then the time had come for
the state TO intervene.
In the later SOS New York State savings
| institutions were in their palmy days. lie
said II was then that any honest man
could say: Put your money in any saw
inss bank in the state and you may rest
assured that your funds are safe beyond
question" a margin of safety between
assets and liabilities was represented upon
the average by a ratio Of surplus TO total
deposits Of more than IL per cent, and
few banks held % per cent.
"HumiliatinS are the facts, AFFAIRS
to-day have sadly changed said Mr..
Rhoades. Through undue competition for
deposits. shortsighted ambition. both per-
sonal and corporate. and thoughtless d'sre-
gard of the science OF sound banking. our
savings banks are not what they were y
margin of safety of over II per cent has
been reduced TO a shade over per cent.
"On July I. l9l0-and the average condi-
ton on January !, 1911. would indicate no
improvement-of the 142 banks in the state
only eight reported a surplus of over 10 per
cent; sevcDty-fvc held n surplus of less
than per cent; twenty-seven less than 2l2
per cent. and eleven less than per cent"
Charles +. SpraGue, OF the Union Dime
Savings Bank. spoke upon the subject of
savings banks. He maintained that many
Of the small savings banks OF to-day ought
never to have been chartered. because they
had no so-called local opportunity" Two

Fly Pests and Drought-strIcken Pas.

Animals Comfortable.
CBy R. q. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

(By r. G. wEATHERSTONE)
The late summer months are the
most critical time of the year for the
dairy cows and the most trying time
for their owner. Fly pests and
drought-stricken pastures are discour-
aging to dairyman. Everything pos
sible should be done to reduce the
loss and suffering of the cattle during
this period. find that 1t pays to keep
the cows inside during the heat OF
the day and feed supplemental forage
crops and a little grain feed.
The sight Of a herd Of cattle stamp
ing flies IN drought-stricken pasture
does not speak favorably Of profits
and comfort. l have never been In
favor of growing acres of forage crops
and catch crops for soiling purposes,
for on the average farm 1t is not nee
essary.
However, 1t does pay to hold over
an abundance of ensilage and cut
either alfalfa, clover or corn to feed
the cows when the pastures are fail
Ing. No catch crop exceeds these reg
ular crops in the amount or quality
Of forage yielded per acre and when
they are harvested in the ordinary
way they will furnish the best feed fol-
the herd during the winter.
In trying to save tons Of hay and
bushels of grain for winter feeding
many men allow dollars Of immediate
profit to slip through their fingers, BY
holding back these crops for winter
feeding when their animals are SUI
fering and falling away in 1esh con
dition.
1t is far more sensible to cut ant
feed a portion OF the green feed thai
1t is to take the land out Of the regu
lar rotation and grow supplemental
crops that are less desirable for soil
ing purposes. 1t seems difficult u
impress 1t upon the average man.
mind that the best winter feedini
crops are the best selling crops.
