Aid Farmers.

When q business concern wants to
borrow money it makes a business
statement showing the inventory-or
money invested at the beginning and
end Of the year-the money taken In
during the year, the expenses and the
profits. With this statement banker
knows whether or not 1t Is safe to
loan money to this company-in other
words, whether the company has a
good chance Of securing profitable re-
turns from a further investment in
their business. A company with q
good business, as shown by such a
statement, usually has good credit
and can borrow money cheaply.
There are many farmers In this
country who keep records Of what
they have on hand at the beginning
and end of the year and Of what they
take in and what they spend. These
men can borrow money more easily
and cheaply than most farmers be-
cause they have the figures to show
the banker.
But before a farmer borrows any
money he should have very clearly In
mind what he wants to use 1t for.
and be very sure that In the end It
will pay him to borrow.

coming to be recognized as the agri-
cultural leaders in their counties, ac-
cording to reports to the United
States department of agriculture.
Help for City and Country.
The county agent has come to act
as the clearing house Of cooperation.
He is available to both the city man
and the country man and can trans
NIT from one to the other requests for
help and offers of help. He can d.
rect, to places where it is needed, farm
labor offered; he can assist farmers In
their problem Of cooperative market
ing; he can inform chambers Of COM
merce, county councils Of defense,
merchants associations and other ur-
ban bodies, of the problems before the
farmers in his county; In general he
is in a position to act as the medium
through which the town will meet the
needs of the country and the country
win meet the needs of the town.
Must Concentrate Efforts.
Every county agent is required to
know and observe that his services De-
long to all the people in his county,
but 1t is evident that none Of his time
can be given to work that does not
concern agricultural development. he
is placed in the county to stimulate
good farming. Therefore, he must con-
fine himself to work on definite PROB
lens affecting farmers. 1t is neces-
sary for him to utilizesthe aid Of COM
munity organizations to the fullest
extent and 1t is within his duties to
impress upon the town people no"
vital their interest and help Is to the
farmers.
In the war emergency the county
agents are not only representing tne
agricultural colleges and the depart
ment of agriculture, but are assisting
the food administration, the treasury
department, the war department, the
navy department, the department OF
Justice and the department OF LABOR.

They have aided, in addition 70

RED CROSS PIG CLUB

The county agent In Carroll
county, Mississippi, started out
last winter to combine pork pro-
duction and Red Cross work.
He tried to get $500 people
each to raise one pig to be
known as a Red Cross pig. In
stead Of $500 members. he got
5000 in a county that has only
1000 voters. In September
the club members are to send
1900 hogs to the st. Louis mar
ket. This will mean cOntri-
button estimated at $4,000 to
the Red Cross, in addition to
more pork for the country and
more money for Carroll county.
A $25 registered pig is given
each month as a prize to the
member whose pig has made
the greatest gain.
