THE FARMER AND THE BANK
Why Banks Should Be the Farmers
Friend.
By E. W. KEN1NERER,

By E. W. KEMNERER,
Fr0f. Finance, Princeton UniUersity
The national banking system was
established when artificial fertilizer
and expensive machinery were not
used and farming was financed on Il
cash basis. while the attitude of the
farmer toward the bank credit could
be expressed in the famous dictum of
Louis XIV, Credit supports agricul-
ture as cords support the hanged"
But in the last fifty years there have
been great changes The necessity of
conserving the fertility of sol is now
felt, and expenditure for artificial
fertilizer doubled from 1880 to 1899
and more than doubled from 1899 to
1910. Much expensive machinery is
required for efficient work, and small
farms must be enlarged tn use it
properly. This calls for creiit-short
and long time credit.
Therefore the farmer is dependent on
national banks. which represent about
half our banking capital. He needs
farm. buying equipment and making
Improvements. but he finds the law
does not permit national hanks to
grant him such credit. The kind Of Sc
cur1ty he is able to give fol long or
short time loans-nameiy. land nation
al banks Gre not allowed to accept The
reason i deposits of nationll banks
are payable on demand. and mortgage
loans are not quick assets. THIS is true.
but not all true, for capital liabilities of
national banks. amounting To S2,00,-
100000 are not demand liabilities.
Nor is it necessary to deny to national
banks, with their deposits of 100000
coo the privilege enjoyed by savings
banks Oh similar deposits or requiring
sixty DAYS notice for withdrawal. Not
one state denies to banks with state
charters privilege of making loans on
real estate. and over So 100000
of such loans are outstanding, and
the per cent of annual losses is trivial.
If national banks in rural districts
could lend some capital and savings
deposits on real estate many millions
now otherwise used would be kept to
enlarge the profits of. American farm
erS. In nearly every other country
bank credit, especially banknote circu-
lation. expands to meet the needs of
, the crop moving times. ard contracts
after those needs subside. There is no
such Responsiveness in The United
States. the result being crop demands

up Just when farmers need to borrow,
and the resulting tightcued money Of

HOW TO MAKE THE HENS LAY
Their Care and Feed.
By E. KNEELAND,
Am-icuIturist and Fnrmor

Agriculturist and Farmer.
With eggs selling at 60 cents a
dozen, the poultry raisers who can per
suade their hens to get briskly to
work and add to the weight of the egg
crate are the ones who are going to
add to their bank account.
The early Matched pullets and the
hens that were helped through their
mott by feeding them linseed meal and
plenty of meat scraps are the ones to
encourage and push along. If the poul-
try house is not provided with at least
one open window, covered with mus
lin curtain. take out window sash
and put curtain frame in its place.
Cover the floor with dry earth or sand
about six inches spreading over it six
inches of straw, meadow hay or leaves
Clean the roost daily and sprinkle with
dry earth or fine coal ashes, but
NEVER wood ashes, as they release
the ammonia in the droppings.
Keep a good supply of sharp grit.
charcoal and oyster shells before the
birds constantly, and all feed must be
clean and free from sourness. Never
underfeed hens for they never get too
fat to lay; they FATTEN because they
DON'T LAY. A hen should have
enough to sustain her and sufficient
surplus to convert into eggs. There
are two methods of feeding-the dry
and the wet mash. For the owner of
a small flock caring for his own birds,
the cooked mash is good The grains
used are the same for both mixtures.
the difference being when wet mash
is ready table scraps are added and
the whole cooked by pouring on enough
boiling water to make nice crumbly
mash. Then spread a sack over the
bucket and leave it to cook for the
evening meal. Dry mash is safer
where hired labor is depended on. as
there is danger of its Souring and up
setting the birds digestion. Feed this

John M. Harding of this village has
little cat, by the name of SIM, weigh

yellow shag with white breast and teet.
Sim is both an outdoor and parlor cat,

catches birds but this past summer ne
has brought to the house four wild rsb-
bits, one Ct them over three quarters

Two years ago he caught and brought
home a mink nearly full grown. and he

THE FARM WOOD LOTS
Greater Ia Extent T an All the Forest
Preserves la the United States.
RI CLIFFORD pyNcHO7

By CLIFFORD PINCHOT
This is time Of awakening. Every
where new ideas are meeting hospita-
Bile treatment and are gaining ground.
Little by little the fact that the farm
has larger place in the national econ
omy than merely to furnish the raw
material Of food and clothing has come
to be recognized among us.
Not less striking than the growing in
terest in the farm is the growing ap-
probation Of the forest, and we re-
alize fully that not only through
the supplying of timber, but by its
control over streams and winds, it's
function as a preserver of the soil
against erosion and in many other
ways, it is a national necessity When
therefore the farm ard the forest meet
we have a question of the most genu-
me public importance.
: We are accustomed to think of the
national forests as enormous in area
covering as they do as many acres as
all the New England states, together
with New York. New Jersey. Penn
sylvania. Delaware, Maryland and Nir-
GINA. Yet the area of forest in farm
ers' wood lots is larger still, while
the farmers themselves are the largest
class of direct users of the forest
The wise handling Of the wood lot,
therefore. is matter of grave con-
Germ to the farmer as well as to the.
nation Wood lots differ so widely in
the kinds, the age and condition of
trees of which they are made up that
it is extremely difficult to lay down
definite rules for handling them.
First of all, leave some trees of good
kinds for seed. 1t is natural to cut
most heavily the best timber, but the
result of that is always to diminish
the number and therefore the seed
producing capacity of those best trees
in the forest. We must be careful
that the most valuable species of trees
have a chance to reproduce their kind.
Second. remember in thinning the
forest the important point is not how
closely together the trunks of the
!, trees stand. but how much they inter
fere with each other in the tops Thin
ming should be done strictly with refer
ence to the tops of the trees, and the
location of the trunks with regard to
each other may safely be disregarded
Third. when a tree is down. if there
is young growth on the ground upon
which it falls, the top should he cut
up and the branches piled as soon as
possible. Young trees bent down. but
soon released. recover speedily. Young
trees long bent over may be perma-
nently ruined and the less cutting that
Is done while leaves are ON the trees
the better for the future of the forest.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING ON
SMALL AREA
What Efficiency and Pluck Can Accom-.
plish.
Bu w. B. MERCER,

By w. B. MERCER,
Farmer and Lire Stock Raiser. .
A striking example of what can be
accomplished on a small acreage well
handled came under the writer's obser-
walton a few years ago.
A newcomer landed in a small town
in an all cotton section about the time
cotton growing was at its lowest ebb.
The farmers naturally were looking
for some new crop to substitute for
cotton, and tomatoes were selected.
The people went wild, and all decided
to put in large acreage, the newcomer
with the rest. A majority knew moth
ing about growing the crop from a
market standpoint and less about han
ding it. A small crop poorly packed
of an inferior grade and miserably
handled resulted in an absolute failure
involving every one in debt.
The newcomer had just bought on
credit thirteen acres of land, with a
cabin on it, and at the end of the sea
son he was involved for more than
$1,000. What to do was serious
question. He was too poor to move
and had not even the necessaries of life
to begin another season on. Having a
good reputation for honesty, energy
and perseverance. he determined to
fight it out.
A Friend to the Rescue.
A business firm offered to furnish
him a limited amount with which to
start again. A gardener and trucker
by nature, he decided to continue this
line of farming. The previous years
experience had taught him not to de-
pend on one crop, so radiSheS cabbage.
beans, peas. tomatoes. cantaloupes and
other crops were planted on small
scale to furnish ready cash. He also
set out strawberry patch. a fruit
orchard, planted early corn. sugar
cane and sweet and Irish potatoes.
Everything did we'll that year and the
second year strawberries. cabbage, to-
matoes and potatoes We're selected for
main crops, still growing enough vege-
tables to supply local demand and a
little to ship when prices We're good.
He shipped nothing but the very best;
sold culls and. inferior stuff to local
trade or fed it to stock. He then es-
tablished regular line of customers
in the nearby towns and cites who
handled his stuff at fancy prices
throughout the season. When lis name
appeared on a package it sold for a
good price. while other growers stuff
went to waste for want of buyers. In
less than ten years he had paid for the
land. wiped out all debts. built a COM
Portable home, a splendid BAN, etc,
and had a bank account of several
thousands.
