THE LOCAL BANKER
AND THE FARMER

No man in the community is in
better position to influence its agri-
cultural progress than the local
banker. This opportunity is being
used as never before. Many bank
ers in Colorado are beginning to
inquire into the farming practices
and even requiring better and safer
methods before loans will be made.
The Colorado Bankers association
has its committee on agriculture
and has at the present time a rep
resentative in Europe studying ag-
ricultural economies. The Ameri-
can Bankers association is also
giving much attention to rural
credit and improving agricultural
conditions. Two banks in Colo
RADIO which have been especially
active in promoting the welfare of
their farming constituency are the
Mercantile Bank and Trust COM
pany of Boulder and the Wallace
State Bank of Monte Vista.-Fort

The base ball fever has not
