bANKER-fARNER
MOVEMENT IS
DISCUSSED
(By Associated Press)


Chicago, July Emphasis on
the Importance of the Banker-Farm-
er movement of the American Bank
ers' Association was the keynote of
a conference which began yesterday
morning and closed this afternoon
The agencies participating were:
The agricultural commission of the
American Bankers Association,
chairmen and members of the COM
mittees on agriculture and educa-
tion of the various state bankers
associations as we'll as other officers
of these organizations; deans of
colleges of agriculture and other
members of these faculties; editors
of representative farm journals; in
civid.al bankers selected tcca-co Of
very exceptional success in CO.
operation with farmers and such of
these farmers as could be persuaded
to attend; and representatives of
the United States department Of
agriculture.
The conference is the outgrowth
of a policy of the American Bankers
Association by which it is hoped to
increase the cooperative efforts Of
the agricultural and financial in
terests Of the country toward i'm
proved rural life and farm stand
ards in the United States. The ex-
ecutive council of the association re-
Gently gave voice to this aim in a
resolution which recited the re-
sponsibility of the banker to aid
agriculture and the importance OF
cooperation both by improved or
ganizations and individuals with all
movements looking toward improved
farm conditions. The movement
contemplates not only increased
bank facilities for the tillers of the
soil giving them direct aid In the
financing of crops, but also en-
fragment Of efforts to train the
farmer so that increased acreage
returns will be the rule.
The American Bankers Associa-
tion committees early found in their
studies of the problems connected
with the movement, that effective
methods Of forwarding these ideas
had been put in practice in various
communities. It was the thought
that interchanged ideas and expert
ence between bankers, farmers and
educators might give helpful def
milton of the lines on which the
bankers are to proceed that caused
the special conference to be called.
The chief interest of the first day
centered in deans session
Heads of various State agricultural
schools will participate. among
them being H. L. Russell, director
of the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin, and F. B.

suit of the war.

largely directed to DR.. Francis f .
Clark, the founder of the Christian
Endeavor Society. He said:

to you, because of the privilege
which is yours at this time to come
