The people of Crisp county have
responded generously and effectively
to the call CT the country for food
production and food conservation. A
countrywide canning campaign was
made by the home demonstration
agent early in the summer and a dem

in the county AS a result, very few
homes in the county but have done
canning this year. In all the history
of thrift and food conserving, there
has never been such a widely mani

TWO BILLION IN INCREASE
IS SHOWN IN U. S. REPORT
Deposits In Member Banks Of Fed
era1 Reserve System Represent
Liberty Loan Bonds.

Two billion doll.,rs, exactly the
amount of the liberty loan bonds. in.
crease in deposits in the member banks
of the federal reserve system is the
showing made in the reports of the
controller Of the currency by the $500
banks May 1, 1917, when compared
with the nearest call date to that
period in 1916.
Actual deposits in the reserve banks
totaled $13.075,0o0,000. exceeding by
Sis. 100000 those Of March s, and by
1884, ,000. 900 those Of a year ago.
Resources naturally climbed with the
deposits. the assets of the banks in
the system to $16,144,000.
Reserves with federal reserve agents
were $943,000.0 900; with reserve banks
and $763,000,000 in banks vaults were
reported, total Of $2,473, 5000, 900, the
combined total in reserve banks and
in vaults exceeding legal requirements
by $26.0o0.0 900.
Attention Is called by the controller
to the fact that the banks have accom-
modated themselves SO that they will
not be affected by tho law requiring
all reserves to be held with federal
agents and in vaults, which will be
operative November, unless earlier
through enactment of proposed amend
ments to the federal reserve law.
Washington received its share Of in
creased deposits, as will be recalled BY
the showing made at the time of the

made in deposits between March and
