the experience of the stockholders

Not only is there an unprecedent--

the reservoirs OF northern Colorado

of the year are usually dry. are run

In an average year reservoir irri-
cation begins In June and by July
go the majority Of farmers are
drawing from their reservoir water,
as the bitches would be dry. This

heavy and late SHOWS, which filled
the reservoirs more quickly than
usual, but local rains. which have
made less irrigation necessary and

German Farmers Have Cooperated
Successfully in Banking Methods

tiles. The central banks lend mon
ey to the local banks in two ways:
upon current account and for fixed
periods. Loans on current account
however, form the great majority
of the business.
A step higher than these provin-
cial banks are the general central
banks. These banks extend their
operations over the entire empire.
There are two of these banks
the Central Agricultural Loan Bank
of Germany at Berlin and the Ma
tional Bank for Cooperative Socie-
ties at Darmstadt. These banks

ative banks and receive their de-
posits, acting as ''equalizers, just
as the provincial banks do to the
local banks.
In 1909 these provincial and gen.
eral central banks did a total bus
iness of $1,557,293,5S0. This gives
an idea of the size Of the cooper
ative credit business of Germany
and of its importance to the Ger
man farmer.
Financial cooperation was not
the only need felt among the many
cooperative societies. 1t was a great
movement. a new theory which,
! though immensely successful in its
} original form, required development
and direction as it extended over
the empire and was fitted to the
, differing conditions of various COM
munities. Also the cooperative idea
in Germany was not confined en-
: tirely to finant,ial cooperation.
, There were distributive cooperative
societies. dairying cooperative 80

Ing classes of Germany found an
idea which would aid them in buy

, provincial organizations were form.
