FARMERS
HIGH PRICES WILL MAKE THE
FARMERS THROUGHOUT THE
NATION PROSPEROUS IN 1915,
SAYS RANCHMAN.

Never in the history of the coun-
try has the farmer had such har-
vest Of high prices to reap as he will
have in 1875 said L. W. Parker
who was here yesterday from Hugo
ton, Kan.
Mr.. Parker states that men are
now going from farm to farm in
western Kansas and offering to buy
the 1915 grain crop delivered at the
elevator for $155 a bushel, and live
stock buyers are engaging all the
spring calves they can get and Of
fering to pay $50 apiece for them at
weaving time. That does not mean
that scrub calves are selling for that
amount, but cattle which have good
breeding are bringing just such
fancy prices.
Mr.. Parker says the high price of
wheat will bring corn and kafiir and
other forage crops up to cores
ponding high price and every farmer
who has chance and who spreads
himself this year will make a nice
little piece of money. The farmers
who raises a wheat crop and gets
more than $3.50 a bushel for it can
pay his farm out of debt and have
sum left and if he is already out of
debt he can buy another farm and
do business on more extensive
scale
The cattle industry looks good at
this time. Oklahoma cattle are
healthy and every man who owns a
herd. whether large or small. has
the assurance of good profits Con-
ditions are encouraging to the man
on the farm while the man in town
who must pay the increased price has

Bill preached. He said, I'll give you

AS to increasing Capital.

Relative to the increasing of the cap
ital stock of state bank, under the
present law, when the deposits of a
bank amount to ten times the capital
stock, then the capital stock must be
increased. In this respect, however,
the deposits of other banks are not
included, and the bankers now want
all deposits included This would
make it easier for the banks to in
crease their capital stock
The banks want some law whereby
the surety companies will be willing
to write depository bonds. Under the
present law it is practically impossible
for a state bank to give a bond as
depository for public accounts, and
state banks are at a disadvantage in
this respect.

DESIRE NEW
LEGISLATION
REDUCTION OF RESERVES is ONE
OF CHIEF THINGS WANTED
MODIFY REQUIREMENT AS TO
INCREASING CAPITAL STOCK.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 7.-Reduction
in reserves, more severe penalty
against persons assuming to use the
term bankers" when they are not
really conducting a banking business,
better market for the guaranty fund
warrants, and changes in the require
ments in the increasing of capital
stock of banks, are a few OF the things
the state bankers association will ask
in a bill that is about completed and
ready for presentation to the legisla-
ture The bill will probably be intro.
duced the first of the coming week.
Reserves under the present law are
required to be 25 per cent in cities
of over $500 population, and 20 per
cent where the population is less than
$500. The bankers want this reduced
to 90 and 10 per cent, respectively.
This would prevent the boarding of too
much money, in the opinion of the
bankers The law for national banks
under similar conditions is Is and 121a
per cent. The average rate of re-
serve throughout the United States is
16 per cent in state banks, and the
average now in Oklahoma about %
per cent. The new rate, if adopted
would still leave the average in Okla
homa about II per cent larger than in
the United States.
Stop Pretending Bankers
1t is said that persons presHme to
do a banking business and advertise
such, but in reality have no authority
to do such business. This class the
bankers want to reach with a severe
penalty.
A better market is desired for the
disposition of guaranty fund warrants.
The bankers want to feel that in any
case where bank must be taken over
they want to be in a position where
they may have an immediate market
for the warrants which must be issued,
and not be compelled to nurse the
banks along, as has been the case in
some instances in the past.
1t is said that 10 per cent of the
bankers have not paid dues that have
been assessed against them for the
last two years. These dues are those
for the upkeep of the organization,
paying for the establishment of an
office for the secretary, and other ex-
penses. 1t is the purpose to require
by law that the delinquent ones pay
