Farmers Exchange List.

Starting next week the Water
man Associated Banks will conduct
a free Farmers Exchange Bulletin
board in each of the banks. The
object of this bulletin board will be
to assist farmers in finding a mar
ket at home for good seed grain,
livestock, hay. feed. etc. and to as
sist them in securing the same in
case they want to buy.
1t too often happens that good
stock, seed of various kinds. feed,
etc.. goes out of country when II
is actually needed in the same com-
munity and being shipped in at a
high price, simply because they
don't know who has it for sale OF
who wants it, All you have to dc
to make use of the exchange list
will be to step into the bank ant
give the cashier or any of the EN-
ployees correct description o
what you have for sale or want ant
your address, and once a week these
wants" and for sale" lists of eacf
of the five banks will be compiled
on one list and posted on bulletiI
board in each of the banks the fol
lowing week.
We hope to make this bulletin
, board of real service to the farmer
and stockmen and assist In any wa,
possible to develop the most profit
able livestock and farming business
