BETTER FARMING
BETTER BUSINESS

1t has often been pointed out that
agriculture forms the basis Of the
business of the United States. More
than four-ffths Of the manufactures
of the country depand on the raw pro-
ducts Of agriculture. Whatever aids
in the development of a stable, pro-
gressive agriculture, aids in the devel-
opment of a stable, progressive bust
ness of every sort.
The dependence of business on ag-
riculture has been recognized by bus
mess men in the last few years, and
many of them, especially those in
corporations of large capital, have
shown by concrete practice how bust
ness may aid in the development of ag-
riculture.
One of the most modern plans of
this character has been undertaken in
Minnesota by one of st. Paul's lead
ing banks, in the appointment of a
live stock specialist. The northwest,
tributary to st. Paul, needs well adapt
ed live stock, just as is true for Ten
nessee, probably more than it needs
anything else in agriculture. 1t is
the purpose of this bank to promote
the live stock industry in the realiza-
ton that it will bring more and bet
ter business to st. Paul. The bank has
published an attractive volume, bound
in leather, which it has sent out to
farmers in the northwest. The book
is full of practical live stock suggest.
ions written by the banks specialist
Further plans have been made by tbs
bank in the same direction.
Few business men-few corpora
lions even--can enter the field Of agri.
cultural promotion in so elaborate q
fashion. Even the smallest, however
can do something He can help show
the value of coordinating the varlou!
industries Of the nation to the bes
economic ends. At the same time h
