The Fa,mer and the Banks

No existing system Of banking was
developed without considering the far
mer No system OF banking could be
developed without consideration OF the
peculiar needs Of the agricultural class
The soil is the nation greatest natur-
al resource. Out of it comes wealth.
On il all other forms of industry and
commerce depend and 10 is the great
est factor in bringing returns 10 the
transportation companies. The activ-
tiles of the farmers influence directly
and indirectly about every other form
of money making activity.
Banking is an economic necessity.
Stripped OF all technicalities. banks are
public servants They offer convenient
means for the transfer OF credits
Credits 80 transferred are substitutes
for cash currency. Money in the form
of cash or currency was first employed
rs a convenient substitute for the ar
ticle exchanged. Ii answered dual
demand for standard by which values
could be measured and tor doing away
with the need that fpan who had a
pig TO trade for suit Of clothes was
under to find man with snit OF
clothes who wanted a pig. In the dim
beginning such a task might not have
been difficult But as society took on
complexities. it became necessary TO
have money. Long ago society took on
still greater complexities and il was
found convenient to substitute ex-
changes of credit tor EXCHANGES of cash.
Banks are therefore. adiuntcs TO the
monetary system. They supplement
and complete il. II is through them as
instruments that the country ELECTS
yearly exchanges TO some such fabulous
amount as 80, 600 millions of dollars.
while there is only $500 millions OF
money in the country. of which only
about half is in active circulation
The product OF the farms every year
is about 5000 millions Of dollars in
value. This amount Of wealth in the
form OF commodities has to be trans
ported IL has TO be manufactured, or
converted or prepared for consumption
and got TO the consumer. IL is trans
ferred several times IN the course OF
this progress toward consumption.
Every transfer involves a sale and
1very sale involves the transfer Of
similar value in credit or currency.
rhe farmer is plainly interested in
,yery step in progress Of getting his
product 90 the consumer Every con
'umer and everyone who touches.the
product in its course is interested in
ne farmer. The banks are essential

broke camp last Tuesday after a week &
stay in the woods OF that section.
Many of the boys came down Saturday
but the camp was kept open until all
members had had a chance TO hunt.
The kill was not an extensive one this
year but enough so that all could get a
piece of meat. Frank Reynolds, the
official chef fed everyone in fine style
and many visitors dropped in TO par
take Of the hospitality that was ex.
tended to all at the camp Meade La
