has always stood ready to 'lend a hand'' in all matters
pertaining to civic and agricultural betterment.
We want to see the surrounding country prosper
Gus in production and in agricultural development.
Our business life both present and future is a
part and parcel of the agricultural life of the commune
ity.
The past season has again demonstrated that we
must not be a one-crop country. The necessity of diver
si6ed farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmers
must come to forage crops, slos, mich cows and steers
feeding to meet the requirements of modern farming
and to keep pace with the constantly increasing price of
farm lands.
Alfalfa is a soil builder. It enhances land values.
Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
means a better soil and bigger profits. Mixed farm
ing means freedom from worry about backward springs,
drought, hot winds and rust.
This bank is willing to stand by its belief in more
livestock and diversified farming by rendering all pos
sible assistance to farmers who wish to get out of the
one-crop rut. We have money to loan to purchase >
stock, seed and silos, and would gladly talk the matter
over with you.
