BANKS REFLECT.
GROWTHOF U.s..
Holland Sees Great Promise
In Figures Showing 1919
Resources y Billions.

John SHELTON Williams. Comp
troller of the Currency. Is authority
for the statement that the resources
of the national banks in the South
ern States are today greater than
the aggregate resources of all Of
the national banks of the United
States as these were reported
twenty years ago. In that state
ment, contained in a few words, is
disclosed one feature. hitherto un-
observed, of the recent growth OF
the national banks, especially since
the establishment of the Federal
reserve system.
Mr.. Williams reports that the re-
sources of the national banks in
the year 1919 were in the aggregate
almost exactly SEAS. 100000. These
resources are so great. II ii were
practicable to segregate them and
apply them to the extinguishment
of the national debt they would al
most liquidate that debt. The re-
sources have been growing since
the end OF the year 1918 so rapidly
that today they are $685., ZOO, 900
greater than the increase resources
by the national banks in any previ-
ou year.
The earnings Of the banks reflect
the prosperity of the country. They
show that the prosperity did not
begin to decline after the armistice
was signed. although many apprc-
tensions were voiced that there
would be a falling off with the
close of the war. They represent
stupendous domestic commerce of
the United States as well as our
foreign trade. This domestic COM
merce is estimated to have reached
in money ss5.O00. o00. 900. The banks
have earned in the year 1919 about
a billion dollars, represented in
bookkeeping es gross earnings,
while the net earnings have been
approximately at the rate OF a mill
lion dollars a day. not including
Sundays.
The banks of the United States
are in a position IL their resources
be well conserved and handled, and
II they do not lend themselves to a
great speculative movement. ade-
quateIy to aid both Europe and the
United States in such financing as
may be needed to maintain our do
nestle industries and mercantile
employments and increase them.
and also still further to develop our
natural resources. while at the same
time needed aid. is given to the ma

Colorado and Utah delegations to

pected to take q tremendous part in

reclamation work on federal govern

done by the federal government or by

Friends Of GovernorLarrasolo are
said to have announced that some of
the uther southwestern governors also
favor the Larrazolo plan. But a
sharp division of opinion on the ques-
tion of method will be found at the
convention, it was predicted, and the
Larrazolo plan will certainly be op-
posed by those who, believe that con-
troll over government lands should be
retained by the federal government
and that the reclamation work and its
cost should be cared for by the federal
COVE rnment.

4 NATION ONLY OF
SKILLED LABOR
Outcome Of Present Day-Whithcr are
We Drifting-A Farm Problem
Delta Tribne:

Delta Tribne:-
This country is rapidly developing
into a nation Of only skilled labor and
no common labor is to be had on the
farm, except at prohibitive salaries.
This condition is bound TO cut down
production, which will naturally ad-
vance the price of living to all classes
The farmer will plant only what his
own household can care for. and the
result will be a shortage of farm pro
ducts. The country is changing so
fast that people do not stop TO think
OF the outcome, but it is going TO be
a serious matter, and that, too, very
shortly. The farmer will be the man
Of independence because he will be
the enough for himself and his fami-
ly, and a few more, but the non-pro-
ducer, the man who is forced to buy
his stuff at the store, what will he do ?
The independent farmer will not have
to hustle around to sell his produce.
Not on your life. You will go TO his
ranch and beg for chance to buy
his products on his own figure.

sPREADER SAVES TWICE

Lewis Hillara in 'Capper's Farmer
Haniing out manure and heaping II
in the field to be distributed before the
plowing time is not a good practice.
A large amount of the manure from
the horse stable will heat in the pile,
which causes loss Of fertility. Where
the manure does not heat the rains
will wash q lot of it down into. the
soil at one place and there will be no
equality of distribution. / have seen
fields OF grain with spots where man
ure had been piled that would be six
or eight inches higher than the grain
around. Many times this excess fer
tility would be wasted, as it would
produce soft straw growth and at
the expense of the grain, where it
would have produced uniform growth
if uniformly distributed.
1t would not take much double hand
ling at the present cost of labor to
pay the cost Of a manure spreader.
Usually where the manure is piled
thus, it has been hauled from a big
pile in the barnyard and has lost
much of itas fertility 1t is rushed
cut and dumped in these piles as .
labor saving scheme, but in reality it
is a making scheme instead, for
it makes one extra hauling. Where q
manure spreader is used and the man
ure hauled frum the stalls and thence
to the fields and distributed, there is
but one labor operation, loading and
hauling. The spreader does the un-
loading and spreading At one time.
Hauling directly to the field is all
right where the ground is compara-
lively level and not frozen, but on hill
sides and frozen ground, much of the
fertility will be washed away.
