BANKERS AND FARMERS HOLD
GOOD MEETING,

What was undoubtly tie most note
worthy and important meeting of the
kind ever held in the middle west took
place in Des Moines June Z. The oc-
casion was the banker-farmer confer
ence arranged for the opening session
OF the Thirty-fifth Annual convention

veloping in Iowa between banking in
terests and the agricultural industry.
More than two thousand Iowa
bankers and farmers attending, pack
ing the Orpheum Theatre from cellar
to garnet and from baldheaded row
to the outer entrances. Interest in
the proceedings was intense, enthus-
iasm high, harmony in evidence at
every turn, and confidence in Iowa and
Iowa institutions 100 per cent strong.
L. A. Andrews, retiring president OF
the State Bankers Association, W. P.

President Hunt and Secretary Cum
ningham of the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation, and JAS. Howard Of the

Farm credits constituted the prin-
cipal theme of discussion, along with
kindred combinations of transporta-

ton to finance farmers as the most

THE NEW GRAIN MARKETING
4 Plan

The u. S. Grain Growers ms. which
has been so we'll worked out by the
Committee of Seventeen is making
rapid progress. The American Farm
Bureau undertook this because OF a
crying need for a better marketing
system, as the road between the pro-
Queer and the consumer Is too long
and there are too many crooks and
sharp turns in it. The Committee OF
Seventeen plan proposes to shorten
this road and to pave 1t (not with
concrete.) 1t is designed to stabal-
ize market prices, eliminate specula-
ton and manipulation and furnish
adequate financial credit to farmers.
1t is a purely cooperative plan offered
in competition with the existing UNI
satisfactory methods Of marketing.
The plan differs from existing mar
keting methods chiefly in that it rec
ognizes capital only as a servant and
remunerates it only for its service
value and returns to the producer the
proceeds of his toll in proportion to
the patronage.

Az DAY TOWNSHIP PICNIC.

The Prairie Township Farm Bureau
had very successful picnic last week
at John Carrothers. We believe when
YOU say picnic" in Prairie township
it means crowd and a good time, no
matter what else may be going on.
Last week everyone let the corn grow
and went over to Carrothers' where
they had built a platform and seats
in the grove for the program the
program committee. had arranged
very appropriate program, including
Farm Bureau songs. readings. music
and recitals. Fred Durey amused his
audience with an Irish song ana read
ing. Tom Carrothers gave very en-
thusiastic talk on purebred STOCK.
The crowd was somewhat disappolnt-
ed that Mr.. Hauser was unable to be
present because he was called 70
Missouri Saturday morning. The ball
game between Silver Greek and Sand
Creek was hard fought, with lots OF
cheering and good roofing. Sand
Creek won the game by one score.
Much credit should be given to the
committee and the courtesy OF r.Car-
rothers in getting together commun-
ity gathering of this kind. Everyone
had a good time and will be there
whenever anything is planned again.

SPRAYING POTATOES.

A number of inquiries have come in
as to spraying potatoes for bugs, leaf
hopper, flea beetle and different in
sects. In all the tests put out last
year, arsenate Of lead gave better re-
suits than paris green. Use the dry
lead at liz to pounds to so gallons
of water. However, If you are both
cred with the leaf hopper, small
fiy-like insect greenish in color which
causes the leaves to turn yellow and
curl up (this is "tip-bur') sometimes
called "blight" add to the arsenate
solution "a bordeaux mixture or 4
pounds of lime and pounds of blue
vitrol. This will get all the potato in
sects. but the leaf hoppers work on the
under side of the leaf and you have to
do thorough job of spraying to get
them. Put on in the morning OF a
bright day. Spray the first time when
the potato vines are about 5 Inches
high and again about three weeks la
ter.
