SPREADING THE
WEIGHT OF A
CANADIAN CROP
Eastern Banks and West
ern Grain Growers in
New Cooperation.
BY :. ROY WEAVER.
Toronto. ,CeDfcmber

While enlarged savings accounts and
increased deposits generally now afford
tho banks ample money to meet all the
requirements Of the farmers, the banker
and the grain grower are in closer I'M
Outstanding than ever in the past. Re
Gently conference the first Of its
kind was held in Winnipeg between
the Western Section of the Canadian
Bankers Association and representa-
tives Of the farmers, at which there
was free discussion of many questions.
Some idea Of what the chartered banks
are doing for the West was afforded by
the information that these institutions
had out on loan TO farmers in the
prairie provinces more than S50,000,O00
and this before the movement of this
years crop begins. Largely as a result
of this conference the banks have de-
clared their willingness so to finance
the Western grain grower that he need
not dispose of his grain as soon as har-
vested, but may hold it for favorable
prices. The only condition is that, in
general, one years crop must be dis
posed of before the next years crop is
harvested. The railways as we'll as the
farmers will benefit greatly from the
new policy, for the grain moving period
will cover the entire year, and the de-
mand for cars will be more evenly dis
tributed over the twelve months.
