The first convention of the District

sion here today.
1t marks the first attempt on the
part of local bankers to inaugurate
an annual state" convention after

permitted and where suffrage will
soon be extended to every adult per-

Shop talk. as a rule. was barred, al
though in o crowd of fnanciers some
market gossip and inside stories on
leaked out. but with two days of all
hank talk on tap the bankers and
their guests were more inclined to
enjoy each others society, the six
hour trip being shortened by good
natufed char and intercourse, with
here and there a little bridge or other
amusement to while away the time.
Earnest efforts to make the conven-
ton success. to create harmony and
unAnimity of action. marked the ef-
forts of the bankers themselves. They
recognized that at this resort there
would be nothing to detract their
minds from the purposes of the gath
ering. that they might give serious
thought to the subjects presented and
SO get the very best possible from the
studious efforts of the program COM
mittee to arrange for veritable feast
of'reason, with but modicum of at

Unaccustomed Harmony Prevails.
Harmony andunanimity were the
keynotes of the convention-some-
thing that has heretofore been more
or less lacking. for 1t has been next
to impossible to secure an agreement
on any subject other than national
patriotism, or to bind the forty odd
member banks to any project.

morning after good nights rest
with an ample supply OF ozone of the

in convention while their wives and
daughters sought the golf links,

war problems. The public is begin.
this country Is in part a public func-
ton and not a purely private one. A
great American bank is a Quasi-public
institution, part OF the economic
structure of the United States. Bank
ers should make ready to meet this
public responsibility. Men must be
developed along the broadest possible
lines. The American Institute OF
Banking courses are designed to bring
about this development to the highest
degree.
"If America is to attain financial
leadership in the worlds 81 readjustment
and hold it it must be by careful guild
ance OF her young men, the young men
who are now being developed and
broadened. not only for the expand
ing field Of American barking, but for
the foreign fields also.
Banking is a composite OF all busi-
ness. and no profession is fraught
with more complex situations, and the
the greater are his oppor u1nities for
advancement. In the big American
banking institution of today the mar
row man cannot remain narrow and
expect to advance. The young bank

''In 1900 there were $50 head of
cattle in the country for every 1000
persons" ne said. "This has now been
reduced to $50 head.
"The figures for hogs and sheep
show similar reduction. In nine
years hogs have dropped from 800 to

HIGH COST OF POULTRY FEED
Cause Of Much Worry to Commercial
Poultryman and Fancier-study
Market Conditions.

The high price Of poultry feed is
causing much worry to the CONNER
cial poultryman, and possibly to the
faneier as well. Yet the man who
sells only eggs and birds for breeding,
and showing purposes can afford to
pay the high prices for grain much
better than the one who sells to mar
kets only. Although eggs and poultry
meat are bringing high prices, the
price of feed advances; therefore, it
is necessary for one to buy feeds in
as large lots as possible thereby get
ting better prices. Moreover, the mar
keting end Of the business must be
studied from every angle now. Take
q day or two off and go to your near
est city. Take a sample of your prod
uct along. Talk the markets over
with the best grocers in the city. Go
to the best hotels and make contract
with the man who will offer you the
best prices, everything considered
With feeds selling at prices as they
are today, the poultry and egg pro-
Queer must look well into his market
Ing in order to make ends meet.

RATTLE OF PUREBRED CALVES
Novel Idea Introduced in Wisconsin

A novel form of rattle has been en-

by the members of newly organ
lied. Holstein cattle association to
promote the cause Of better sires.
With the profit the association derived
from the sale Of 80 head of cattle
which it brought in from the southern
part of the state, and from the sale of
several other animals secured locally,
the association bought eight purebred
bull calves. The method by which
these calves were distributed resem-
bled a rattle. However, no fee was ex-
acted of "chance" takers, but, instead
all were required to Join the associa-
ton. In every instance the bull went
to men who had not had purebred
bulls previously or who had manifest
ed little interest in the purebred stock

ECONOMY in FUEL FOR DAIRY
Specialists Advise That All Waste
Steam Be Utilized During the
Current Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart

Many factory operations Of the dairy
Industry require the use of heat, al

exhaust steam contains about 80 per

MANY GARDEN CROPS
ATTACKED BY PESTS
Rotation Is Recommended as One
of the Best Remedies.
Exposing Insects to UnfavorabIe Tenn.
perature Changes and to Attacks
Of Birds Helps Materially
Observe Sanitation.
By JAMES G. MOORE. Wisconsin Col

(By JAMES g. MOORE, Wisconsin Col
lege Of Agriculture.)
Practically all garden crops are at
tackled during their development by
one or more pests. These pests are
ordinarily classified as disease or In
sect. The greater struggle on the part
Of the gardener usually has to be
waged against insects.
Frequently the seriousness of the
attack is due to neglect on the part
of the gardener to follow some Of the
simple practices which tend to reduce
the danger to the minimum.
One of the first things for the gar
dener to observe is garden santa.
ton" Frequently garden pests, both
insect and disease, are carried over
on the waste material of the previous
seasons crop. While working refuse
material into the soil is commonly
recommended, one should be sure that
in so doing he is not inviting trouble
for next season by providing pest
to be controlled. Burn leaves and
stems or other refuse if there is the
least suspicion of its being a source
of infestation.
Rotation of crops is one of the best
methods of avoiding pests in ordinary
farm operations. In the case of those
insects which pass the winter in the
upper layer of soil, fall tillage, which
exposes the pest to the unfavorable
temperature changes and to the at
tacks of birds, helps materially.
Another sanitation measure is the
removal from the garden or immedi-
ate vicinity of weeds or other plants
upon which garden insects may feed.
Very frequently there would be no
serious trouble from a particular in
sect if its presence had not been en-
couraged by such plants.

LESS HOG LOSS BY CHOLERA
Lowest Number Of Animals Lost in
History of Live Stock Indus
try Of Country.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
According to records of the United
States department Of agriculture for
the 10 months from April 1, 1918, to
April 80, 1919, hog cholera killed 1885,
004 hogs, valued at $4,000, 6ss.16, in
the United States. This is the lowest
loss by numbers for similar period
In the live stock history of the United
States, but on account Of the high
price Of hogs the monetary loss was
heavy. For example, during the year
ending March 81, 1913, hogs number
ing 6O64,47O and worth $5S,833, 653
died from cholera, while the next year
the disease took 6.304,32O hogs worth

MoToRTRucKs HELP DAIRYlNG
Particularly Valuable to Man Who
Markets His Milk and Cream
at Frequent Periods.

The motortruck is being received
with open arms by the farmers every
where. 1t is very valuable to the hog
producer who lives within so miles of
big market. 1t is also valuable to
him who lives ten or more miles from
railroad station. The man who can
haul his hogs to market by truck is
in position to take advantage of the
most favorable prices. The closer he
lives to the market, of course, the bet
ter off he is in this respect. The
motortruck within certain limits not
only reduces transportation charges
