BOARD OF TRADE NOTES
(By the Secretary


An enterprising North Carolina
bank that had hitherto issued to its
patrons calendars costing something
like thousand dollars. bought this
year pure bred hogs and distributed
them instead of calendars. The gift
by a bank of a pure bred hog to q
patron not only keeps the banks
name permanently in the mind Of
the patron. but supplies the means.
through the increase from the hog,
for an increase in the business with
the bank.
What about the enthusiasm and
the CO operation promised some few
months ago when a demonstration
was made to some Of our people with
regard to the splendid work done by
the Boys Corn Club and the Girls'
Canning Club 1t is about time for
those enthusiasts and that co opera
tion to get in touch with County
Demonstration Lewis and Directress
Miss verda Thompson. 1t 10 not so
much what is produced in this sec
tion OF Florida but what can be
produced as demonstrated by the
boys and girls of Polk county farm :
ers and it is a highly interesting
fact. as showing the value and prac :
ticability of this work, that the ia =
thers OF some OF these boys and girls
admit that since the activity Of the
latter in demonstrating what can be
done on a small tract the men are
obtaining much larger yields OF the
same, and also other crops. than be
fore they thought possible. 1t will
pay every person interested in the
agricultural development Of this
section to take an active personal
interest in this work of the Boys
Corn Club and tn Girls Canning
Club.

Petrograd messages have dec
