history Of those present. The great farm papers, those of our boyhood days, that have been fighting for pres tige from the time whereof the mem ory of man runneth not to the con- trary," are coming into their own; and they are welding a mighty in- fluence for better farmers and improv- ed farms. The great dailles and per iodicals fairly teem with valuable in formation upon the science of agriCul- ture. The American Bankers Asso- citation, staid and dignified doubtless the most powerful organization of it's character in the world, the leading men of which are intellectual giants, have been giving to subjects on az riculture prominent places upon it's convention programmes. Agricultural schools are being established through out the states. The 'consummation greatest possible yield per acre at the least proportionate expense.
 Tt is not my intention to attempt a discourse upon the science of farm ing; nor to elucidate the principles by which any particular crop is suc- cessfully grown. For this l am neith- CT theoretically nor practically quali- fled and cannot arrogate to myself knowledge that l do not posses. But l do know, that, ill southern Arkan- sas the farming interests are para mount.
 Our farming enterprises over shadow all others; by it be live; it is the sine qua non of our food sup ply; the basis of our industrial enter prises; the bone and sinew of our financial strength. 1 am morally state backward though it is at pres ent in agricultural progress, will push to the forefront until the pros porous farmer will be the rule rather than the exception. l would that could so impress these facts upo1 your minds so that every fibre o your being would thrill and tinglt l with the thoughts of their truthful ness and magnitude. l have no cap tion for my remarks, but desire, 1T
 my feeble way, to suggest some idea' 1 that may arouse you to a realization
 of the importance of the farm ant

and of the relationship they bear to one another: and likewise to foster a finer feeling and a more intimate and closer business and social under standing between the two peoples.
 Good Roads.
 "It is gratifying to see so much ln- terest manifested ill good roads. Just as railroads are the commercial ar teries that give life and vigor to a country. so are good public highways the potent, so are god public AOlN farm life and farm enterprises. And as procresses and development fol low close upon railroad building just so sure will good public highways be the forerunner for prosperous farm homes adjacent thereto.
 Good roads will also admit of the consolidation of two or more rural school districts enabling the farmers thereby to have longer terms and more efficient schools than at pres ent. This advantage alone would be worth the expenditure. For, it would be the means of keeping thousands of good farmers on their farms who are now vending their ways to the towns and cities to educate their children.
 Our Agricultural Scholos constitute the greatest boon the farmers of Ar kansas have ever. had While wa may not have yet felt the influence of these schools, yet l prophecy that within a half decade you will req lize their potency So, suggest that you foster and encourage them Observe their management and the manner in which they are conducted see that the personnel of their facul- ty and the character of the curric- ulum are compatible with the re uuirements of the argricultura school, indeed These are invest ments of yours as taxpayers and i 1 is not idle curosity or presumption l for you to make inquiries according 1 ly.
 The scientific play whereby in tensive farming is taught is un doubtedly the best Yet our cit. brethren would be surprised to kno, how 10th our farmer friends are l. abandon the old way. They clin tenaceously to the traditions hande down to them by their forefathers

 President Hyatts Address.
 Hon. R. L. Hyatt, of the Group, who delivered his annual address also re- sponded to the welcome erectinos of Mr. Alexander. His address was rather lengthy, but it contained much good advice and some wise sugees- tlons for the bankers and attaches of banking institutions. He said in part;
 At the Bankers conventions of Ar kansas in the early days it was the custom to discuss only such subjects as directly pertained to the business. Then we confined our inquiries to the best methods and systems for direct ing the details of the mechanical op- eratjons of the banking house. And also such general subjects as the law or deposits, the characteristics of negotiable instruments, the legal phases of bills of iadlng etc.. were considered. It is eminently proper that we now freely discuss these great subjects. The free exchange of ideas upon the routine work as we'll as upon these general subjects that en- ter into the proper operations of a banking business is calculated to more fully qualify us for our duties and re- responsibilities.
 Tt is commendable, however. that modern bankers have broader visions and more extended conceptions of the scope of their business operations. We realize more than ever before that the business of banking, to very large degree, influences, and is in- fluenced by, commerce business, agri- culture, in fine, by every known en- terprise and industry. Then it is that we are not only interested in the prop CT methods of conducting banking business, but we are also vitally con- cerned in the manner and means ot creating and conserving wealth.
