FIGURES Point to
Money Relief
BANK CALL REPORTS SHOW
MOVEMENT TOWARD RETURN
TO NORMAL BANKING CON-
DITIONS.

A further movement toward SOUND
normal banking conditions in the
northwest was seen by bankers in the
statements compiled today from ma
tional bank call figures as of the close
of business April %. Deposits fell
sharply as result of spring demands
from the agricultural districts for
funds with which to begin new crop
operations, while the last force of the
effort bankers had been making to
bring about liquidation made itself
felt in a reduction of loans and dis
counts.
Deposits of Minneapolis banks hold
ing membership in the federal reserve
system stood at S132,353, $50 April %,
compared with $140,317,271 Feb. Il,
and $154,515, ,657 May a, 1920, the drop
from last year at the time of peak
prices and credit expansion being more
than $22,0O0,0OO. An even greater
reduction in loans and discounts
among these 10 banks was shown by
comparison with May d, 1920, the drop
being from $159, ,635 ,279 to $780,
75S.
"Present deposit figures are approxi-
mately as low as they are likely to go
during the year, as the need for money
in the country is the greatest at this
time and no return flow from the mar
keting of 1921 products has yet set
in," said A. A. McRae, vice-president
of the Northwestern National bank.
Deposits always fall during the spring
season because the farmers need their
money. This is an annual manifesto
tion.
$50 far as I have had a chance to
see them, the figures indicate a
healthier banking condition than we
have had for many months. The fact
that banks show deposit totals more
nearly equal to those of their loans
and discounts is an indication OF the
trend to normal banking conditions
The general fall in prices and con-
sequent lessening of the demand for
loans also is plainly reflected in the
decreased deposits and loans. Deposits
inevitably fall with loans, because a
large percentage Of loans go on the
books as deposits until the money has
been checked out"
Savings Bank Deposits Increase.
The total Of deposits in all Mime
apolis banks fell from 1921 5 10 900 on
Feb. 21, to $22s,944, 900 on April %,
while loans and discounts for all
banks decreased from sta, ,747, 900 to
S169 100000. State bank deposits in
Minneapolis among banks not mem
bers of the federal reserve system,
gained approximately $130,O00 during
the two months, or from $26,554 1868
Feb. 21, to $26,682,052, April %. Dur
ing the same period loans and dis
counts of these banks decreased about
81, zoo, 900, or from s25, 1904, ,592 to $24,-
134, 1888.
There was a slight increase in the
deposits in Minneapolis savings banks
between the last of February and the
last of April. The total rose from
50,670,903 to $50, ,743,971. Trust
company figures were practically un-
changed.
Today's bank call will be prepared
in a new and abbreviated form for
transmission to the United States con-
troller of the currency. This is a re-
form introduced by the new admins
tration, and is very acceptable to the
banks.

County Agent
Law improved
STATE LEADER EXPLAINS NEW
LEGISLATION WHICH AFFECTS
FARM BUREAU.

Reviewing the work Of the recent
Minnesota legislature as it directly
affects county farm bureaus and coun-
.ty agents, F. E. Balmer Of University
Farm, state leader of county agents,
says that House File No. 260, which
became law, is calculated to improve
and increase farm bureau activities
from the fact that it permits the state
to apply $4,000 annually, instead of
$1,000 as formerly, in large counties
which have real need for two or more
county agents in order that the terri
tory may be adequately served. No
more than 81 900 of state money can
be applied to any one agent in a given
county
more than one agricultural agent,
Eor at least an assistant agent, says
Mr.. Balmer, SHOULD be employed in
such large counties as st. Louis,
Itasca, Aitkin, Beltrami, Marshall,
Polk, Ottertail, Stearns, and some
others. The changes in the law also
make possible more adequate fnanc-
ing where it is desired to employ a
home demonstration agent or county
club leader in addition to county
agent
Mr.. Balmer further reports that the
law permits counties to appropriate
annually up to $1,000, instead of $3,-
900 as formerly, for county agent
work. Counties having more than $50
congressional townships may appro-
pirate not to exceed $25,O00. This
provision applies only to one county
St. Louis.
As to finances in support of county
extension employees, the legislature
appropriated $1,000 to each of the
counties now cooperating in the work
or total of $4,000. Only two coun-
ties in the state, Grant and Douglas,
are doing no county agent or farm
bureau work.
A $4,000 increase was granted in
support of agricultural extension
work, and it is likely, says Mr.. Balmer,
that this will make possible slight
increase in federal aid being extended
to counties. Regret is expressed by
the state leader that the appropriation
in behalf of farmers Institutes was
cut from $4,000, as it has been for
several years, to $4,000.
Another new law, House File No
259, provides a simpler procedure than
has been known in the past for amend
ing articles of incorporation by county
farm bureaus. Still another netg act
provides method for accounting ex-
psfas and receipts of farm opera
tions, and imposes certain powers and
duties upon the commissioner of agri-
culture and the county agent. This
makes it mandatory upon the county
Qppnf fn mako q Oh
least 10 to 25 farmers as to the costs
of producing various farm products,
the amount received for them, the
average profit, etc. The county agent
is expected to compile all data secured
and to forward them to the commits
sioner of agriculture, who is empower
ed to give out information and reports
which will be of use to persons inter-
ested in agricultural pursuits.
The legislature increased the amount
OF state aid for county poultry as
sociations for the next two years
from $4,000 to $4,000.

A verdict for 100000 rendered
against the Ford Motor company in
New York and in favor of the Hotel
Woodward company will stand as a
result of the supreme courts refusal
to review the case. The hotel claimed
that the Ford company had agreed to
erect building in New York city and
lease to it portion for II years. The
verdict carried a penalty Of 6 per cent
for the lease period, aggregating more
