THE FARMER AND THE BANK
Why Banks Should Ne the Farmers

BIZ F.. w. KEMMERER.

Prof. EAahcc. Princeton URiiorSiiu.
The national banking system was
established when artificial fertilizer
and expensive machinery were not
used aud farming was financed ON a
cash basis. while the attitude of the
farmer toward the bank credit could

Louis XIV. Credit supports agricul.

But Ia the last tifty years there have
been great changes. The necessity OF
conserving the fertility of soil is now
felt and expenditure FOR artificial
